one of the things I love about you is your DIY skills. You are an excellent handyman.
Let's start again.
Dear Husband
you are awesome. You can build things. I am sure these shelves will be able to store many thing.
But I have a small concern which you keep airily brushing off. You see, we are demolishing TWO rooms in our house. This is just SOME of the stuff from them.
So my question is. How the hell are these shelves going to accommodate it all? Whilst I do not doubt your ability as a constructor I fear you may have misjudged the situation somewhat
Love

Time for a garage sale?
If handyman husband is making magic shelves, once he patents them you can sell them and become rich and buy a huge mansion with rooms of magic shelves.
On the other hand if he's not making magic shelves, I sense some "I told you so" conversations ahead.
Magic shelves can be really tricky.
We have magic shelves in our garage...however ours are faulty and don't hold everything that they should.
Probably need to do something about that...
:P
Good luck!!

it's like that commercial on teev isn't it where there's a secret room behind those shelves (not that I can remember the product)? that's the real surprise?! :)
In November 2008 I went to Ethopia. A transformational journey in SOO many ways but one thing really soaked into my core - they have no stuff. The kids at the orphanage have two sets of clothes and 3-4 books each. They treasure them. Visiting adults in villages I observed a similar culturally imposed lifestyle.
Having just moved from the USA and returned to Australia, I went through the craptastic task of packing and moving. The trip to Ethiopia stuck with me the whole time.
What do I REALLY need. What am i holding onto 'just in case'.
Your magic shelves are delicious and I hope they gulp up all the stuff you need to store.

Oh for goodness sake, you have a man who will put up shelves. Please let us just reflect on that for a moment: man, shelves, up. Rejoice and be grateful and he will be so chuffed that he will keep putting up more and more and more shelves until one day you will be staring at an empty shelf thinking 'dear god, I have nothing to put on this baby'. And then there will be peace. x
We had massive clean out last year and 'junk' was downsized dramatically....we though have a magic area under the house - magic in that hubby thinks only he can see the crap under there! I ask him to throw 'junk' out and he stores it in his magic area under the house....
Ummm... good luck with that.... :)
Purge purge...you'll probably make a mint on eBay selling stuff! And yes, you are fortunate to have a handy hubby - I love mine, of course, but he's only just mastered replacing a halogen light.
Clearly they are tardis shelves. They will take a surprising amount. And a weird Englishman. And his assistant. Or you could do what the smart ladies say and offload some gear!
Those shelves do look magic to me. And wider, deeper. I am sure your husband has studiously measured the capacity currently used, how it may be optimised, and therefore designing an excellent new shelving area to suit. Like all us men do. It's in our DNA, as is lying.
