Benjamin Franklin was a wise man, his inventions many, accomplishments extensive and writings
numerous. He is also given credit for several familiar sayings including my
favorite, “A place for everything and everything in its place.” I like this one
best because it reflects the way I wish our all of our gear was organized. To
that end, Scott spent last week building shelves in his office storage room.
This is where we are determined to stash our gear in an organized fashion
rather than allowing it to gradually settle into chaos.
In order to determine the necessary shelf depth, the first
thing we did was to inventory the items to be warehoused in this space. After
that, there were only two other considerations. To prevent damage to the plaster
walls, we decided the shelves needed a back and sides. This will keep
backpacks, lanterns, cameras, etc. from damaging the plaster wall when they are slid into place. We also do not want the shelves so tall that items
placed on the top will show above the pony walls that separate the storage
rooms from the rest of Scott’s office.
Here is the result of his effort.

Looking into the room from Scott's office. |

A closer look in. |

Looking straight at the shelves. |

The shelves abut the plaster wall near the curved window well. |
I think we'll be able to implement Franklin's directive here.
