Joy Snacks

2025-12-31

From a post I made on Argh Ink:

I was in the Garden Room, checking on the hydroponic units, and looking at the garden shelving reminded me of the shelving in the Owner’s Suite. I have two baker’s racks and a four-shelf unit that I’ve been passively thinking of modifying. Given the modifications of the racks in the Garden Room that I accomplished in little steps… snacks, as it were…

So, Joy Snack 1 was emptying the four-shelf unit and relocating the shelves thereon.

Joy Snack 2 was completely disassembling a bookshelf that was barely used, located to the right of the fridge and stacking the components for disposal. The four-shelf rack had been located to the right of the bookcase.

Joy Snack 3 was moving the fridge to the right, up against the 4×4 post support, as far to the right as it could go unless it went to the right of said post.

Joy snacks 4 and 5 were removing the loose items on two baker’s racks and dragging them to the right, up against the fridge. That freed up the corner.

Joy Snack 6 was moving the four-shelf unit into the vacated corner. The rearranged shelves now aligned with the baker’s rack at ninety degrees.

Joy Snack 7 was arranging the contents of the shelves that had moved and several that hadn’t. Several snacky nibbles involved magnetic spice racks on the side and door of the fridge.

More joy snacks ahead – the shelves on those two baker’s racks need to be adjusted. When It’s all completed, there will be pictures.

As noted on the pictures in red, the two baker's racks lower shelves will be raised. Several reasons, including the old man's ability to reach stuff and the ability to sweep or vacuum under them.

Joy Snack 8 was relocating the magnetic spice holders from the side of the fridge to the front. Of the six spice racks, two were empty and went to the Garden Room to hold plant food.

Joy Snack 9 was removing everything from the two remaining baker's racks in order to take them away from the curtains and lay them on their sides to make it easy to move the middle and bottom shelves.

Joy Snack 10 was Actually moving the shelves. "Measure twice, move once" didn't work, but as shown in the picture below, the result was adequate. Since the top shelf couldn't be raised, the middle rack went to a compromise height.

Joy Snack 11 was restocking the shelves.

All Done (for now)
