Well, as you may remember, I wasn't happy with my first lumber rack (first pic below). It was high and up out of the way like I had originally planned, so I could put stuff underneath of it. However, the height made it difficult and dangerous to reach, and stacking lumber flat would have made it nearly impossible to sort through to find the right piece of wood.
So, I took it all down and repaired the wall. Then I made a new, simpler rack where the boards will stack vertically. I no longer have space underneath the rack, but it will be much easier and safer to rack, stack, and sort through lumber. It will also hold way more lumber without weight restrictions. In the first pic below I have started to load the new rack.
In the pic below I have already stowed about 200 bdft of oak. It looks like the new rack may hold 500-700 bdft. It's a done deal and so far I'm happy with it.
Now. it's on to the next project- bathroom and office doors. Let's see, half windowed door on the bathroom, solid door on the office??? hmmm no that's not right!
