(...) tub-stacking problem as well. Nice job! I think the hand-crafted vs. pre-fab decision probably comes down to that classic duality -- time vs. money. The shelves I built cost me about $30 for supplies and about 2 hours for planning and (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
