I finally got a little time to work on my shelving unit. I moved the angle brace from the mattress support rails to what will now be the front of the unit. Removing the mattress rail pieces I ran into a problem. I had forgotten that I screwed and glued the rails on. I tried to remove them as carefully as possible. But still the rails pulled some wood from the side walls. I filled in the damaged area with spackling compound. Tomorrow I will finish sand, seal and move on. So far I have shelf spacing at 3 at 10” and 3 at 15”. I will clamp in place and see how it looks.


I did run into another problem. I built a storage building last year but never enclosed the rake and eaves. As a result, I now have a wasp problem in the building. I have 3 large nests and a few smaller ones. I sprayed one till I ran out of spray. I have dead wraps all over the place. I did manage to knock one nest down. This was a pretty large nest. I also noticed I left out a support brace for the truss roof. Working on the building will be a cooler weather project. We are still into the high 80’s here in East Texas.
