| Locating the pull-out closet rod. We bought the thing at a Rejuvenation parking
lot sale. Did no one know what it was, or is it just impractical? Because the back of the
closet is so narrow, it's practical for us. The angle iron supports both it and a shelf that
will sit above it. I won't be able to reach very far back, but some of my too many clothes
will need to live there. Cedar for the shelf would be nice, if moths truly avoid it. |
Tongue and groove cedar closet lining is installed on the south end. I inserted
horizontal supports between the studs to have enough wood to nail shorter pieces of paneling
to. They're short because they're reused - a neighbor who was a remodeler thought of us. It
was a good thought. But some were chewed up, and the lengths were all over the place, so they
got extra support. Smells nice in there. |
In January, as his camera reminds me, Doug made a closet appear where none was before. By
adding a wall slightly more than the width of a hanger east of the original west wall, we
relocated the main doorway and made my small office smaller but better. The move allowed us to
add both a closet for the room and a linen closet. The closet wall jogs around the waste pipe
and narrows that end of the closet (the unstripped portion of the wall to the left), so the
new wall straightens out the room a bit. The tub (foreground) had to stay in place until we got
the bathroom floor finished.
