    I literally had the wire shelving system in my shopping cart, and went on RUclips to learn how I can cut it to fit my closet, and now I'm putting it all back. Thank you so much. You've saved me time and money.

    I completely agree with you on the that white wire shelving. It’s closet cancer. But the closetmaid track organizer is awesome! I installed that in my master closet and I love it. I needed to be able to change my closet around as my wardrobe grew and shrank for my husband and I. Now I’m redoing my spare bedroom and my husbands closet in his office. And that also means I have extra tracks, shelves and rods for my closet. It’s going to be sweet lol.

    You totally cracked me up! I LOVE how you even emptied the closet yourself and put it back. I didn't expect the end when you dressed up. I can watch comedians and not even laugh except I just discovered Fluffy and he definitely makes me laugh like I did with your video. I have a 5'x5' walk in pantry that was all wire shelving and like you said I HATE IT! It's out because I stripped my tile floors and my son replaced with a floating floor for me. He made me keep the wire shelving saying how they are still "new" (they are almost 36 years old). I'm so glad I found your video. Of course I can't use what you did for the closet but I will continue to search RUclips for more ideas. Thanks for putting a spark in my day and in my butt to keep on trying...I'm going to be 65 this year...shhhhhh! Thank you and tell your wife she has a jem!

    I agree 100% with you!!! I hate wire shelving with the deepest hate ever ever ever found in my heart!!!
    It really is like a freaking cancer that affects most new homeowners and renters.
    It fails and you end up with holes on the wall, your clothes on the kitchen or wherever you have room for it while having to setup a budget to get a real closet done eventually.
    It is pretty much a disposable/cheap option many builders use.
    I freaking hate it so much.

    How I wish I had seen this before I spent the money, time and energy on these horrible wire shelves. I used to just build in what was needed with plain ole wood, closet poles, etc. But my sister talked me into buying the white wire shelving. I hated installing it. However, I got a great laugh out of your video at a time that I really needed a lift. Thanks, man. Keep em coming.

    Don't you think you should put some kind of cleat or end support at the shelf ends to prevent sagging over time? You said you're a perfectionist... its basic carpentry 101! Fully support your work! Especially with pressboard shelves ! You need to hold those sucker's in place!

    Nice job. My wife wants wire shelves in the laundry room. I just have to ask. You did all that work and then used particle board, and not supporting the ends the boards with one or 2 more brackets the board will eventually sag and fail. Why not just get a piece of pine. Just a suggestion 🙃

    What type of hanging rods do you prefer and does Home Depot cut pipe and wood for you if you don't have the equipment?

    • @adventuresingreatamerica2098
      @adventuresingreatamerica2098  6 лет назад +1

      I don't have a preference. Whatever fits the supports is what I have used. I don't think Home Depot will cut those for you, however you can cut them with hand tools that are relatively inexpensive.

      Shelves A La Mode
      Adventures In Great America : You have something of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd about you, but there are higher-end wire shelves that address some of the strength, convenience, and aesthetic issues that you hated, and a remod with these would have been a simple snap out and snap in.
      That said, if your exercise routine demands doing pull-ups in the closet, you did the right thing.
