It's all cement block

What about getting some 4x8 blocks and sealing them in somehow? Is that something I should look into?

Turns out I was a little off on the dimensions too. 6' tall, 2' 7" wide, 3" deep.

Thanks Crazytrain, I wasn't sure if I should fill it back with brick or block to keep everything in the wall same in case I wanted to anchor stuff into it in the future. I'll probably try the studs and drywall, that seems like it will be alot easier.

Fun stuff!

hahah.

Well I decided to do it today, ended up being quite a project with the lockers being recessed in the wall. Had to do a fair amount of chiseling around the cement block wall, and now theres a hole in the wall thats about 5 feet tall, 2 feet wide and 3 inches deep. Glad I got them out, wasn't...

Well, the backs of the lockers go back further than my garage wall, like they are recessed into the wall a few inches. How is this even possible?

csp: I didn't, can't believe I didn't think to check for that. I'll look after work tonight, thanks!

rburke65: thats what I figured too, I don't see any in the wall though. hopefully my pics show up soon, just tried to post links to them again and got another message saying it needs to be approved by a moderator first.

Not sure what happened when I tried to put the images in my post, but they never showed up after the moderator message. Heres some direct links on my web server to the pics I took: http://www.willholman.com/random/TopLeft1.jpg http://www.willholman.com/random/TopLeft2.jpg...

I posted some images, and it said awaiting approval by a moderator. I'll try to post them again tomorrow if they don't show up tonight.

Cincinnati, Oh

Hi, I'm new here, I was wondering if I might be able to get some advice. I have several old metal lockers in my garage (the high school hallway style, tall and very narrow). When I first moved in the house, I thought they were pretty neat. After living with them for a couple of years though...
