I'm happy to report that all of my wood cutting and woodhanging and shelf hanging is complete.

Hooray!

Yep.

I figured out a bunch of stuff.

I actually had to go to the hardware store twice, of course, because I ran out of wood,

because I needed more than I thought.

Otherwise, it all went well.

I didn't injure myself too badly at any point.

We'd love to see your handiwork. All right. You can see my... And now keep in mind, the disclaimer here is that I did nothing to reduce the amount of stuff all I did

was put it all up on the wall I know this looks great you did a good job so there we still have a

huge amount of stuff and that that has not changed and will take longer to change at least now

it is off the floor.

What are the brackets made out of? The ones that hold up the shelves? Yeah.

They're metal. They're like Amazon shelves. I've had, I've had a few other copies of these shelves around the house for a couple of years. Oh, I see. So the shelves that you're, we're just looking at is the wood backing that you described for getting around the your stud issue.
