The Almighty Loft
The loft keeps giving..
The Sunday project this week involved getting the kayak off of the sawhorse style stands and up out of the way. This made a huge difference in the garage (it didn't hurt that we took 8 or 9 old computers, 2 monitors and a heap of cardboard to be recycled, and a bunch of stuff to Goodwill) and used up a little more of the loft in the process (basically all the remaining rungs).
The process of creating the new kayak storage system was a bit of a fly by the seat of your pants operation. I used only the tools and hardware I had in the garage. The wood from the loft, random screws, half a fun-noodle (leftover from the sawhorses), and leftover carpet scraps I found in my carpentry days. Nice, simple, and it seems to work quite well. Only a couple more years and the garage will actually look like one (although if you drive down my street, it looks better than most already).

That's funny. Just last night I was sitting outside sawing off a couple of pieces of wood from my old loft scraps and Sheena commented how much use we have all gotten from that wood over the years.
