The Super Secret Storage Room

When Melissa & I were looking for a house we were intrigued by the “bonus storage room” listed for the house we eventually bought. This is an unfinished room above the garage that happens to be quite large (24′ x 8′). The terminology for this room has evolved from bonus storage room to extra bonus storage room to extra secret storage room to super secret storage room and all other permutations of these words. In fact, I’m not sure we’ve ever used the same name twice.

Anyway, it’s a great room, in that we can store lots of stuff in there. Conversely, it’s a horrible room that allows us to accumulate lots of stuff and cram it in there with no organization whatsoever. Hoping to allow for better organization I started building shelves in this room about nine months ago.

This morning I finished.

What, it’s not like I haven’t been busy.

Anyway, the shelves are 24′ long and stretch all the way down one side of the room, and they include an 8′ work bench.
