    Yeah, it's different construction technique when you're building with 2 x 4's. Have you ever tried GRK framing screws ? They're a lot faster than nailing and they hold like crazy.

    The area i've got is about 10 feet wide. What i thought i'd do is lay down a 2 x 4 platform for the cabinets to rest upon so you have a toe space. After that, it would be two 4' wide x 24" deep x appox 7' high cabinets.



    Each of those would be divided in the middle so that the shelves don't have a span of more than 24".

    The last cabinet will be built to fill whatever space is left over on the ten foot dimension.

    Put doors on the front and it's all neat and tidy.

    It's just gonna be a bit of work is all. I got started on them then it started snowing like crazy here a few weeks ago. Had to go off and do snow removal so i'm just getting back to it.

    Hopefully, the weather will stay clear for a bit so that something actually gets done.
