Ideas for Garage storage?
Hey everyone. I want to tidy up the garage and I’m thinking about types of storage. It’s a small space, enough only for a single car. I’ve looked at garage shelving, does this need to be garage specific or can I buy any type of shelf to use? What about storage containers? Or are they just a waste of space? Can you provide any other good ideas to store garden tools? Thanks
Levelling off a wall
Hi, We are currently trying to install built-in wardrobes in our alcove; the plinth is built, and one side is in. When we go to put the left part it doesn't fit. We looked, and it looks like when measuring the far side of the edge, of left side is wider than the near side. This section of wall is only about a foot deep, so what is the best way to trim it back to allow the wardrobe to fit?
