The dorky part is that I could have looked at it before and after and given that 67% figure correctly WITHOUT measuring.



Once it's painted I'm going to take pictures. But I can describe the change pretty succinctly.

Before:
A single 9 1/2` shelf at a height of ~70" and a single 9 1/2' bar just beneath it. All supported by 2 supports*.

After:
Essentially raised that 9 1/2' span up so that the hanging bar is at 80". Instead of a single 9 1/2' length of shelf/bar, it's now 3 separate pieces of shelving, 2 separate bars, supported by 7 angle brackets attached to studs.

Then at a height of 40", there's a 38" hanging bar w/shelf on either side of the closet, leaving a 38" space in the middle so we can hang long items from the top bar. So it now looks something like this (not to scale):

========= ========= ============
----------------------------- ---------- 80"



================================
----------------------------------------- 40"



---------------------------------------- Floor


Nothing fancy, but way better than one collapsing shelf.




*If you can call what was there "support". Whereas an intelligent person would use a shelf support that looks like this:
-------
|....../
|..../
|../

Whomever put that shelf up used supports that were JUST the angle part:
....../
..../
../

Gee, I wonder why the shelf was sagging.

Gee, I feel like I'm looking at a MouseAdventure quest of some kind. Have you been hanging with Kevin Yee?

Oh, and it's not dorky. It's geeky. Dork is an unflattering look. Geek is a lifestyle coupled with a high IQ and a huge passion.

You're a Geek. In a good way.......

We're watching a Dirty Jobs episode about recycling dead cows. This has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

I had to turn that one off. As I recall the following week was equally as gross.

I am officially alone on LoT, not even a spider to keep me company.



I wish I could sleep. At least Gary is after many sleepless nights, it must be my turn for insomnia.

Tylenol PM my friend. Worked great when we were camping where I always have trouble sleeping. And worked great at home the one night I needed it since.
