Hide the bodies?
Small closet project yesterday in my daughters room. Took out the wire shelving that has served "well" for about 8 years and put in a "custom" closet system.
I say custom because I had to modify just about every single piece of an IKEA kitchen pantry cabinet to make this work.
Not much you can do with a closet that it 52 wide, 26 deep with a 24 inch door smack in the middle of it.
Initial design was slightly different (drawers instead of bins/shelves) but the depth would not work so well, so we needed to modify the design on the spot. Just need to add 2 more shelves/bins to the top half.
My daughter is happy with it so its a win.
EDIT:
If anyone wants the wire shelving system, it is yours. Just need to pick it up.

Looks great, will serve her well.
When I dug a 4 foot deep hole beside the garage to inspect the foundation I was getting 30 to 40 gallons of water per minute in that hole a sump pump was having trouble clearing it so I could see the footing.

If the door can support it, if you really want to maximize space, it looks like there is decent depth available there to add bins to back of door (probably ~12" deep). When closed, they fit like a plug or vault door into the closet. Obviously not good for books but shoes, socks, hair accessories, hats, etc could have a place.
Good point. Thanks for the tip.
Just checked with my daughter and for now she says she doesn't need the additional space. But I do see how it can fit in there without being obstructed by anything. She is 13 now so I'm sure the needs for additional storage will come as she gets older.
The structural work to the bedroom floor would above be costly and the ensuing divorce even worse.
Cleaning up the left over siding and preparing it for winter. Looks like I overestimated by 100-200sqft but will know once I finish the last shed.
So if anyone is looking for some Hardie siding in Monterey Taupe for a small project let me know and I’ll give you a killer of a deal.

Currently looking at one of these for a spring project for the new place, We have a "U" shaped 1/2 acre pond that the previous owners let get pretty swampy, so I want to provide some Bottom-Up Aeration to help clear the water and hopefully stock the pond with fish etc.

I know some people that bought a house that came with the pond dyed bright blue. Saw some dye at the zoo this year too. Apparently, the dye helps minimize sunlight penetration and accompanying explosion of algae/crap weed growth. I haven't personally used it but it is worth some investigation imo.Currently looking at one of these for a spring project for the new place, We have a "U" shaped 1/2 acre pond that the previous owners let get pretty swampy, so I want to provide some Bottom-Up Aeration to help clear the water and hopefully stock the pond with fish etc.

Yes, looking into this as well. But aeration is also required and the windmill is very cost effective.

When you have an 8' ceiling in your garage.
I don't think they are illegal, just tough to get approved.
Lol we had 100 trout in our pond took 2 days for the heron to get everything.

For sure they waited almost a year for the trout to get to be nice sized, I was shocked at the efficiency of the clean out not one left.
