All you really need to convert a shelf into a sliding unit is a hand saw, a drill and screw driver. The instructions that come with the hardware are adequate to get you through the Oddly enough, the hardware to fit the shelf with sliding or rolling tracks is identical to drawer hardware and is available at reaâ€" sonable cost from any good home store. For the most of us that is "terra incogniâ€" to," and things that have been shunted back to that black hole over time are often forgotâ€" ten except by the most diligent of homemakâ€" ers â€" especially ones with strong backs, healthy knees and night vision. I have a solution that is right there over your nose as you struggle to retrieve someâ€" thing. Make the shelves moveable so they slide out just as the drawer above does. Things at the back are rarely viewed because of the inconvenience of that long pull; but at least they are accessible, and that is more than you can claim for the things being stored at the back of the cupboards under the counters. With exception of that one catchâ€"all place where just about anything can be found. The Kitchen Drawer, how many drawers can honâ€" estly claim they are making the best use of the space designers give them? The size is universal because of the moduâ€" larity of such things as dishwashers, stoves, freezers and refrigerators, but it is certainly not the depth a homemaker would choose for a drawer or even a cupboard. It‘s too deep. Most modern kitchens have a storage problem; it‘s not so much a lack of space as it is access to the space that exists. And most of it is under the ubiquitous 24â€"inch wide counâ€" ters. am always on the Ilookout for home improvements that make life better for the occupants: added value, comfort, effiâ€" ciency, safety, esthetâ€" ics. New products for the home My culinary talents are confined to baking bread and making breakfast, for which I enjoy undeserved praise, but I have keen interest in the kitchen as a functioning organâ€" ism and I search for good storage ideas in the homes of friends and sometimes acquainâ€" tances. That covers a lot of territory and by the surge of new products onto the market it is evident there are a lot of entrepreneurs and manufacturers who are busy seeking conâ€" sumers‘ attention. Warmly Welcomes An experienced Oakville Real Estate Sales Professional ANN SINGLEHURST adequate to get you through the If you go this route you may want to conâ€" sider making the shelves narrower than the ends that support them so they do not touch the plywood backstop. This prevents dirt and spills accumulating at the back of the shelf against the plywood. Neat, eh? If you like you can nail the plywood backâ€" stop onto the shelves to give them more staâ€" bility and to make the whole unit removable, bottles and all, whenever you want to houseâ€" clean or get at the plumbing. Order comes in the form of a simple moveable set of narrow shelves, two or three high, depending on the sizes of bottles and cans you want to store. Because you probably have a wire bag holder for garbage on one of the cupboard doors, you will build the shelves only for the space at the other half. Don‘t attach anything permanently because you need to leave access to plumbâ€" ing, but piece of plywood that is snugged into place just in front of all the pipes improves the aspect tremendously and cries out for order. The cupboard under the sink, however, does not lend itself to the hardware ploy because of all the pipes from the sink that run down through the floor. Because of the nature of the containers that are stored under a sink and because of the scarcity of useful space midst all those pipes I have found that efficient use of just the spaces at the front can solve most clutter problems.
