    Looks like you need a garage sale not garage shelves.

    I'll give you first dibs on the bottled water in the 2 liters. The attic is definitely going to be sorted through this spring.

    I'm going to change the dimensions of these but use the same concept for food storage in my man room.

    Myself with the studs behind that sheet rock. I would have mounted the back 2x's with lag bolts to the studs / wall and used the back 2'x as an additional . Eithe rway that's whay makes the DIY forum a nice place to bounce ideas off each other.

    To clarify, that isn't my picture. I thought about mounting them to the studs but don't want to tear up the walls in the finished office that I'm putting them in.

    Bought these to secure to the brick wall. They require a masonry bit to drill a pilot hole first.





    You can see here that I had to "customize" on the left side. I kept running into something that was ruining the screws on the left side. You can see that I tried 5 different holes. Even though the bit would go all the way in, and I made sure the bit was going deeper than the screws, they kept hitting something. I secured that custom 2x4 by slipping it under the top support and putting two screws on the top, and towing two more in on the side.




    Next I shimmed underneath both sides. I could climb on it before shimming, but now that the bottom front is supported, it won't put as much stress on the wall anchors.




    Oh yeah, I leveled out the one shelf I had in there crooked. This shelf has over twice the shelf space of the last one and still fits the space nicely. Very much an upgrade!
