bike hoist.. you have the ceiling...use it

I'm about to start cleaning up in the basement. My builder is finally better and able to get the electrical finished and inspected so we can close the walls up. Once drywall is done, i'll be able to clean and not have it covered immediatly on the next day.. Looking forward to it.

I've been organizing mine.. Add shelving above stacking w/d for light weight bulk storage (Paper towels, TP, etc). Replace HW tank with tankless way up high on wall to install shelving down wall in the new open area. Sorting through all cleaning supplies to eliminate duplicates and stow bulk containers. - I've got one shelf to trim to be complete. It makes a huge difference.

I've mounted one on the outside wall of my very small bathroom with a lighted wall mounted mirror above..Makes a nice low profile (standing) makeup area and get you out of the bath so the next person can use it.

What was used on the open shelving in the kitchen?

there is carpet glue you can buy to stop any fraying just let it dry before flipping the rug right side up. I've done this with a 40$ 8X5 rug... I've cats who love love love carpet.. so I make sure to have inexpensive rugs just for them. Plus, my concrete floors look/feel better with the odd rug.

Honestly.. if you're handy.. Ana-White.com.. and build to custom fit. Make a Twin bed with a back for half the length of the mattress to support bolster pillows along with head board and use a normal twin mattress.
I'm building two twins for my spare room, using a plan I customized from her site.
Pocket screws are awesome.
I'd not be doing upholstery, but then that's maybe cos I'm not real good at it. You can get a professionally done slip cover for mattress and bolsters for way less than a sofa.

Where did she get the uprights used?

I regularly got 25 MPG with my 74 super beetle. Moved house (co-op student) in the thing every 3 months, but you have to be creative with the packing but they can hold a lot.
It's simplicity and efficiency always enthralled me. They are easy to maintain and surprisingly reliable (never flinched to road trip in one). Aside from engine rebuild for HS graduation, I did most of the maintenance myself (I was hard on starter solenoids and accelerator cables - beats my brother - he still goes through clutches like Oreos).

Parts are fairly easy to find, and not as expensive as other "classic" cars.
If you get it, I think my dad has the old (non working) ac unit from mine.. You want it?
