- measure where I want to shelf to go
- make some marks for where the bracket should go
- check to see if the marks are level
- find the screws Ikea included in the packaging
- start screwing the brackets to the wall
- place the shelves in the screwed in bracket
- check to make sure its level
- screw in the other side
- repeat till all shelves are in
My Husband (redoing the shelves because my job came out of the wall):
- Buys correct screws at the local hardware store (it seems those ones Ikea included were NOT for the wall)
- Checks to see if the ceiling is level
- Checks to see if other parts of the ceiling are level through out the house
- Checks to see if the doorframe is level
- Measures to determine where to draw lines
- Draws a line on one side of the wall
- Measures to determine where to draw the next line
- Draws a line on the other side of the wall
- Uses some tool to make sure the placement of screws will be level
- Stops and considers whether to finish the wall paneling in this area before continuing with shelf placement; Decides to continue with the shelves
- Makes marks for screws, checks marks for accuracy, checks to see if marks are level
- Drills holes into spot marked where screw will go (I was told this is important ;) )
- Screws bracket to the wall with correct screws
- Starts to repeat on the other wall
- realizes that to get the shelves lined up straight, 1/8 inch has to cut off each board
- cuts off 1/8 inch off each board for this side
- Repeat till all shelves are in
Now, besides my awesome pallet board wall, there is a reason most of the board and screw work on this house is being done by my husband!
Oh, and I made a pallet board garden box! Maybe I'll stick with pallet board work and Varethane :)
