This was Operation Organize Garage. I was able to recruit my Dad for OOG. The main purpose of the project was to build shelving on a ledge next to the water heater. I used all materials that I already had. These were either left at the house when the old tenants moved out or they were scraps that I kept after finishing Poker Table #2. We made three new shelves out of the center piece that was left over from having cut the 4″ bumper or railing that I put on the top of my poker table. The crescent shaped supports were the rounded off corners that were left from cutting the 4′x8′ sheets of plywood for the poker table.

When my Dad showed up he had a 3′x6′ piece of pegboard that was left over from one of his garage projects. What we had to do here was cut out seven pieces of scrap wood in 3″x3″ squares to go directly into the studs. Then we secured the pegboard onto those scraps. The reason for this is to give some distance between the wall and the pegboard so that you can put in pegs without having to tear up the wall from jamming those pegs in. The rest, they say, “Is history.”

I have this as proof to Mike that the dartboard he got me as a groomsman’s gift from his wedding over a year and a half ago is getting some use. I did the proper measurements to make sure that the bullseye is the regulation 5′8″ off the floor. We then marked the distance you have to stand away from the board for throwing the darts at both 7′9 1/4″ and 8′ since both distances were in the instructions.
