New shelves: to renew o to die!

[Davidlpf]

Yesterday I removed the old ones, I cleaned a bit the wall, and mounted the newer, better, beatifuller and stronger ones, with a little help of my wife, of course. A lot of work, but it paid off, IMO , It's a big improvement, as you can see on the attached photos.



Greetings from Spain.

This is another area of the yard. The shelves are mounted for testing purposes, 85 kg of load supported without falling apart! (I'm the test dummy, no risk, no glory LOL)! I have to dismount it, paint everything, remount later, and set the automatic watering system. More work ahead,

More greetings

Soooo much better! Great job!

Consider thin pieces of wood under your post bases so the metal doesn't discolor your tile. You can even use 3" pieces of ceramic tile for the same purpose. (This is assuming that you aren't going to drill your bases into your floor tile).

Thanks, like it is said:

f you want to be happy one single day, get drunk.
If you want to be happy a month, get married.
But if you want to be happy all your life, get some bonsai.

Of course, I want to be happy
