In the late 80'S gas was about 1 dollar a gallon and the average family income was about $40 K . Today gas is more than 3 times higher and average family incomes are less than double.

This is my favorite storage idea. Cheap easy and works.

Makes perfect sence :thumbup: Floating slab:lol_hitti

I would think the edge of the slab would be the strongest part of the slab. there should be a peimeter beam. Right?

These boxes should be tied to the wall. Or all i know one of my kids could go in there and start looking at ll the shiny tools.

Good info. I know im not suppose to open more than 3 drawers at a time but i havent told my wife or family and they could get hurt. So your misfortune will serve as a warning to others.

Dint realize you had the strap anchored to the floor. Wrap one strap around each castor at the front of the box. That beam should be able t lift the box but if it sags just prop it up with 4x. I take ityour using ome sort of winch to lift.

Looks like the casters were sitting on lumber. The box moved and slipped off its precarious perch. Is that a beam directly above the box? Come along?

They have masonry screws.very strong and simple. Also lead and plastic anchor inserts that expand when you insert the screws. Liquid nails also makes a masonry adhesive if i remember correctly.

Just put the doors on. Ive got to sand clear them but it,s starting to come together. We went to Ikea last weekend and they have a good variety of countertop for a great price. I think il go with a dark,top almost black.

Hows that 55 coming?

Heres a good look at the skeleton for the top cabinets. All 2x2 glued with Kreg jig connections. Later I glued ½ plywood dividers to stiffen the frame. Here again, It’s cheap to build but it takes a lot more work and you cant take them with you when you move.

First set of cabinets done and ready to move on to the long wall. I bought that 12” harbourfreight saw about 3 years ago to build a deck at my old house I’ve gotten my moneys worth. Not very accurate but works for rough work like this. , I used ½” sanded plywood for the face glued and srewed to...

Thanks ill keep plugging away.

This is exactly what I had in mind when I started then I got all carried away putting things together. Most of these legs are not touching the floor.There is about an 1/8" gap as they sit right now. Ive got to figure out what to shim them with. after i coat them with the floor epoxy.
