I took the day off today and spent most of it in my barn waiting for the appliance guys to deliver my repaired ice maker.
Very nice of them to give me a five hour window for delivery and then deliver the bloody thing three minutes for the end of the window.
In any event, I spent a good chunk of the day organizing my cellar and drinking luke warm libations while waiting for the ice maker.
My goal was to get my entire stash in three cabinets, and I succeeded, with a bit of free shelf space to spare!
My cabinets are pretty deep - 28 inches to be precise, so I can fit a fair bit on each shelf, as shown below.
Here is a panoramic shot of all three cabinets on the main floor of my barn:
The shelves are reinforced, but even still there is some bowing on them, so I have my cabinet guy coming out to determine whether he can provide increased reinforcement. When I had the cabinets built originally I never anticipated I would be housing a multitude of metal tins, and the weight sure adds up.
Here is a closeup of each of the three cabinets:
After watching the Hobbit series on the weekend, I am thinking about hiring a dragon to guard my stash. I do have a group of three guard dogs, but as you can see they didn't turn out to be as vicious as I had originally hoped.
