i built a 5x6 shoe rack for my wife, i, drilled 100 holes for pegs (so she can tell me how to adjust the shelves, i.e. close together for the slipper shelf, further apart for the mid boot shelf etc)
anyway it has 9 shelves and she wanted 2 more. i goto homedepot picked up a 1inx10inx10ft board and ask the dude to cut it in half (the rack has already been made, i've been moving shelves around for a few days, i just need to drill it into the stud to prevent tipover and it's done). i get back 2 boards, 1 measuring 58", and the other at 62"
i said, wtf, i can't use this and just left.
