New shelves at Cristal's house

Mike and Cristal moved in to their new house this weekend.  Scott and I went up on Friday to help.  They really wanted storage shelves in the garage.

When they bought the house, there were some shelves in the garage but they were flimsy, shaky and pretty ugly.  They built shelves on each side of the window and a makeshift work bench below the window.  Friday afternoon we took out the old shelves, hauled them to the dump and started with a clean slate.






 We used 2x4's and Simpson brackets.  We built around the window so they would still get the day light from outside, but also use the space at the top of the shelves for storage.

 We used 1/2" OSB board to cover the shelves and then secured them to studs in the wall.  Pretty solid shelves.  The garage is 22 feet long and almost 10 feet tall.
The finished shelves with boxes already going on top.  Woo Hoo!!!
