Done with the cubbies

We need to attach the brown backing wth nails, screw on 4 more double hooks on the inside of each one, and find some carpet to go in front. Maybe add names.  Dave has longer term plans to build benches the kids can sit on but we'll save that one for later when he is more able to use his hand.

(updated post: The pic here are shown almost finished)


These are completed!  They are all attached now (not 4 separate pieces anymore), the backing has been stapled down, side hooks added (Calvin's lower than Violet's, and Vanessa and baby boy's even lower so they can reach), and a strip of carpet in front of 2 of them..we'll get a longer piece of carpet probably later.

Violet was given the task of putting everybody's things where they go, she did a great job.  Anything that seemed too small for her or Calvin got moved to Vanessa or baby boy's locker.  Our closet in the house can breathe now!

So, out with the old:


and in with the new!

  1. My dad pulled the grandfather clock down on top
    of himself. It was not secured to the wall.
    Best see that your cubbies are secured, or weighted (as are all commercial office shelves) to keep them stable when used or climbed on.

  2. They are very bottom heavy, but aren't secured to the wall. I suppose that is something to consider though.
