I've taken this week off, Thursday and Friday are holidays so I'm using three vacation days.
I spent most of the day Monday with a couple of hours yesterday and today to partially rework the master bedroom closet. The closet is big but it isn't rectangular, it's kind of "z" shaped. Rectangular box but with two big corners boxed out. Wire shelves, which are fine, were installed by the builder. Like they always seem to do, the shelves were run around the corners. Corners like that end up wasting space since the corner really isn't usable.
I took out the shelves that ran down one side and around an inside corner. The originals were poorly installed so that the shelf they form tilted in a way that things stored on it tended to slide off. I replaced the original single set with a double set, upper and lower rods for hanging stuff. I installed some 1x3 to form a back plate so the shelves could be better anchored. And used the 16-inch deep shelf type for better storage space. Not to mention hanging them so that they're level or a bit tilted back so storage boxes won't be jumping off any more.
It was a good little project. Right around $150 in material and what was about 7 feet of usable closet rod is now replaced with 16 feet.
