Storeroom rack, finally!

I'm in the midst of tidying up my storeroom. More accurately, it's a 'bomb shelter'.

I would never know why it's called a 'bomb shelter'. From what I know, a bomb shelter is a safe hiding place from bombs in time of war. I cannot imagine how this storeroom can be a bomb shelter if there ever is a war. Firstly, it is not inconspicuous - it has a door handle! Secondly, is HDB trying to say that if our block of flat is bombed, the whole flat would collapse, saved for the whole alignment of bomb shelters - since it's meant to protect us from bombs? I have imagined the scene with some silly amusement - the ones who live on the second floor would be most glad then because they could jump one storey down to the safe landing. But how about those who live on the 12th or 13th floor? How would they come down?

Yeah, I know it's silly.

Anyway, after more than 5 years of living in this flat, I have decided that enough is enough: I will get storeroom racks installed! Actually, it's because we could not take a step into the storeroom without knocking into something anymore. To be more accurate, we could only take 1 miserable step into the storeroom as things are ridiculously piled up. And it is impossible to find anything we need. In fact, nobody could remember what we had put in the store!

I decided to call up the storeroom rack specialist, Yee Sin. It's a really simple website which is very helpful for a number-phobic like me! I was pleased and grateful to know that they even have my storeroom measurement in their website. And even better - they have a proposal of the length and depth of the racks!

I decided to customise the rack abit as I wanted something a bit longer than their standard 60 inch, but not full-length.

I got an 84-inch by 46-inch, 4-shelved L-shaped rack at $230.

Look at the amount of rubbish we have in the storeroom!

Toaster, boxes, inline skates!

Toys, NIE notes, paper bags and other knick knacks

Blinds, lights and Xmas tree (in the life-size box)

Xmas ornaments and other knick knacks

Realised someone dumped a whole basketful of soft toys in my storeroom and most of them are not mine!

Anybody remember the Mc Donald's Hello Kitty sets? They are still in their 'original' condition! I didn't get them. My ex did.

How nice to find your sweet 18-year-old pic in the store!

State of my storeroom before installation of racks - literally everything's a thrown-in!

The Yee Sin men installed the racks within half an hour

Now, that's more like it!

I left some space for the big items

I had made some enquiries about the different length of 4-shelved racks, so might as well list them here for future reference:

105' x 46' - $260

$280 (with PVC)

68' x 46' - $180

$200 (with PVC)

80' x 46' - $210

$230 (with PVC)

For 5-shelved racks, add another $45 to $50 to the total cost of the rack.

Each shelf can withstand 100kg, according to the men.
