Well I finally get first section of my new plant shelves done. And I am very please. I had to change the plans a couple of times. At first I planned on having the shelves 3 feet wide but I realized there was no way my short arms where able to reach that far, so I cut it down to 2 1/2 feet and it works great. Then I realized that having the shelves 2 feet apart would not work as I am short on one end and I would not be able to fully use the top shelf and at the same time I could not reach to the back of the bottom shelf as I could not get down there. So I made the bottom shelf only 1 ft high. I am using the closet maid shelves. One bottom I use one 16" shelf and that will before my new cuttings. The second shelf was done with the 2 16" shelves that I had already gotten but I get a 12" shelf to go with the last of the shelves that I had already bought. This plant bench takes up half of the back side of the epi house, and holds over half of my epis. I will finish the other 8'feet this month and one of the 6' bench that will go on the door side.

Here is the first of the picture As you will notice that the first section is 4ft long, but I decide that 2' sections was much better. Infact there was a sag in the middle of the 4' section and I had to put a piece of pipe under it
