Well, got a great deal this weekend at the discount humane for habitat place!

I had looked at the white coated metal shelving there and was debating on whether to buy them. They were only 50 cents/ lin. ft. So I decided, sure, why not?

So I got 3 @ 3 1/2' long and 2 @ 4' long pieces. The gal ringing up the sale didn't want to figure out the 50 cents x it all, so she asked me if I would like all of them for a total of $2! So I said sure!!!
Got about 20' long worth of shelving for 2 bucks when the new price is like $12-20 each!!!
All the pieces were in great shape.
So I felt good on getting such a good deal!

But of course, ended up spending $20 on the brackets to hold the darn things up at HD, LOL
The discount store didn't have any of those unfortunately.

As you can see, got one shelf up today.
I will say this tho. It sure is hard to do this all by yourself! My son was working all day and then he came home and took off again before I could beg for his help, LOL

So trying to hold up the shelf with the brackets and wall clips was a doozy. I ended up just doing it and hoped for the best.

This is above the 8' bench side. Figure I would start there first in case I make any big boo-boos. The white shelves are 12" wide. They are a bit higher than what I want since I am only 5' tall, but had to make do where the wood pieces were to attach to.

Edited to correct the spelling of "shelf", duh!
