Space, the next frontier

Reporting back on what I finally have done. I started asking all of my normal scrap dealers I buy old computers from about shelving. Took a week or two, then bingo, "yeah I got bunch of shelving in the back". For $175 I bought two pickup truck loads of Rapid Rack commercial boltless shelving (which of course is piled all over my garage waiting for me to clear space to put it up). This is I declare a great way to go, with two caveats. Commercial shelving is VERY heavy, make sure the vehicle can handle the load. Do not assume that any pile of stuff no matter how large contains all the parts for what you want to do. My particular huge pile after sorting is missing all the side connectors (goes from front to back of shelves and holds the rack together) for the 24" depth shelves I wanted to put up. I have plenty for larger shelves, so I may use that. Last point, I now know much more than I desire to about shelving, including that my present level of knowledge is still pretty lacking. At least I can talk the lingo as I go off in search of 24" DRB today.
