Marcus Builds me Shelves

We started here in my laundry room.  There is three doors that lead in and out of the laundry room so it doesn't leave space for shelves and places for my laundry baskets, or any folding area.  I had seen a desk with a hinge on it and thought we could do something like that and set it up and then have it swing down or up and latch it.  Marcus thought about it and found some folding brackets on the internet. 

We measured and figured we could make four shelves and fit 10 laundry baskets in there, or have a folding area and 6-8 laundry baskets.  And then when I am all done with laundry I will collapse the shelves and we can walk through easily to the kitchen.

 They are all folded down.

 All set up.

Isn't that an awesome bracket to fold down??

Of course we built them for laundry baskets not kids.  The day after they were done Landon ripped one out of the dry wall.  I always kept that one folded up.  Then a month later Kylie was trying to climb up for something and completely ripped out two more.  So back to square one.  Marcus ripped out the dry wall and installed 2x4s between the studs so he could screw them into the wood and not just the dry wall.  He replaced the drywall and textured.  Now we still need to prime, paint and put the shelves back up.  Darn kids, we have to build everything for a pack of wild elephants for it to survive in our family.
