Now that the walls are complete I can start the installation of the shelving unit. Once I've built the first level of the 12" wide shelf, I realize there is a problem. This is an old house and the flooring and walls are not quite level. Of course this is not a problem in and of itself, but if this shelf starts off uneven, it will become a problem at the top. So the solution was to put in a full length shelf at the bottom to give a level platform. Also, this separates some room on the floor for shoes or other small storage items.
With this solution complete, I can install the first three shelves, the clothes rail, and the full length shelf above. Then with a ladder, I can repeat on the middle shelf, installing the three narrow shelves, then the clothes rail, and finally an upper shelf. The top shelf is quite high and does not have a lot of vertical space, so it will mainly be for longer term storage.
