Boy, I bet you get tired of people telling you what you “shoulda” done. 😂 Great video!❤️

[@paulalalinga9165]

Hi, if you’re not going to stack those cabinets. Use a piece of three-quarter inch plywood under it and put wheels on it. I do this all the time at home and I’m never sorry that I did it because I can move it without unloading it.

[@shadegarden7375]

Good idea!

[@diyfferent]

Thank you for the good suggestion.

[@damogranheart5521]

A place for everything and everything in its place. And on wheels! Totally Aces!

The tree falling on the old shed was a blessing in disguise because this place is so much more functional and spacious you can really get comfortable in there while you work. And if needed while working you can always get one of those portable compost toilets for emergencies let’s say it’s a heavy rain and you don’t want to make the sprint. But this project is really nice 👍

[@YourFavDieselTech]

You made a good choice on the storage cabinets. I’m a diesel mechanic and we use those in the shop I work at.

[@kristinwhitworth410]

I respect your efforts to work on your storage space. Once everything is organized and well contained you will make a lot of progress on all of your projects. I completely get it!

[@tomfl58]

Why don't you put one cabinet on top of the other and save floor space ?

[@oldmcdanelsfarm592]

They may not support that much weight.

[@charliemartin-k7m]

I own the taller version of these shelves that are more of less 2 on top of each other and they and its total crap.

[@Live-Your-Passion]

If they were to stack those plastic cabinets definitely would cause it to bend out of shape

[@suzzannelemarier3350]

Sometimes with plastic cabinets and drawer systems the weight on top sinks the bottom ones down.

[@carolyncarlson3825]

To heavy

[@jecatwrangler]

Super fun to see your family vibing and thriving in FL (along with all the challenges) .. one of your old vids popped up in my feed remnding me of your journey - thanks for the years of sharing, this ole shut-in is appreciative! Toodles!

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

I like the cabinets. I have a couple that are similar but taller. You could stack those and save some space. I’d strap them to the wall, though.

[@diyfferent]

These aren't stackable, but this company does sell tall cabinets for people who want something taller.

[@sharongriffith7505]

I like your storage cabinets and I am thinking that it might be nice if you could stack one upon the other to save you floor space.

[@diyfferent]

They aren't designed to stack, but they do sell a tall cabinet version. We chose two small cabinets because we don't want a tipping hazard and the small ones actually give us a better use of space. The shelves aren't as far apart on the small ones and are the perfect size for what we wanted.

Have you tried mixing remnants of other cans to change the colour, your daughter will have an eye for that 😊

How exciting! The most important thing is feeling organized so you can get to things when you need them and you can get them put away when you need to clean up. It’s just such an important thing to do on projects.

[@kayashmore4296]

Your paint fits nicely in the storage cupboard.

[@joycejones2979]

You are so smart Doug! I just love how “analyze”situations and come up with the answers that suit and your family. You decided that you didn’t need that door to be as wide as it was and you pulled out the necessary tools and took it out replacing it with what you thought was best. It didn’t seem like it was a lot to you. Great job! Have a safe and blessed weekend all of you!💕

[@brendahaire8824]

Great job as always. Thank you for bringing us along. Doug, Eevee, Belle and Maverick have a wonderful weekend.

This extra space is a total game changer. I’m truly excited for you guys. It’s been a long time coming for this property. It’s fun to watch it coming together for ya’ll. I know it hasn’t been easy finding spots for everything. You guys do a great job at working with what you have at hand. Have fun organizing everything!

[@laurafiler3760]

Suggestion on your old unused paint buy an old school plastic trash can like round Rubbermaid. Then, sort interior and exterior paints in 2 piles . Then open either one of the piles and and pour as many cans as you can or want to. Then mix what's in the trash can . You can buy clean 5 gal buckets mark the lid int/ext and then a sample of the color on lid . And on cheap paper plates another sample of color ,and int/ext to tape on the side of the bucket usually I use clear packing tape because you can go around the bucket . ❤ your channel.

[@lisamichele9941]

Have you ever thought about peg boards on a wall? To store tools, cords, etc. It's changeable. You always have good ideas so if pegboards aren't a good fit for you, I'm curious what other ideas you may have. My dad's shop needs organization and if he can't see it, he can't find it. 😅 So I'm thinking that's what I may do. 🤔

[@axelbrode4673]

Let me say first that I did not read all 303 comments before I add a suggestion. Try wiping down the plastic storage with fabric soften sheets (dryer sheets). Might work, usually takes the static from your clothes. Later

[@peterhicks3516]

The new areas of paneling are perfect candidates for paint jobs from your many cans of unused paint.

[@ScotWalt858]

Looking good$

[@diyfferent]

Thanks!

We had a sun cast storage shed , then a hail storm made 28 holes in the roof I could fit my fist through, the company sent us a whole new roof kit , paid by our insurance. Loved that shed.

[@Niteowl99]

Eevee and Doug, I love the way you think things through. This storage building is going to so useful. I understand clutter and how you can feel when you’re looking for tools, supplies or spec for something. I’m glad you are moving right along with improvements. 👍💯‼️

[@boredpeanutbutter75]

Nice shelves/ cabinets. They seem sturdy enough, yet light weight. And they look sturdy enough to be stackable if you ever needed it. Everything seems to be coming together easily, and looks so nice! You must feel a sense of relief now that you can finally move everything inside--out of the weather, and out of the way. I'll see you in the next video. You guys take care!

[@rose-g3l]

What a great idea these storage cabinets. Lots of progress, good work !

[@galady8632]

Eevee and Doug are making so much progress! I see the wooden hutch is in-place. I know that had to be a huge challenge. Actually the Office Trailer was a great solution for your storage challenges. I have been searching in my area and so far no bargains here. Until I actually purchase a property I have no place for to park anything. I would probably add a mini-split so I could comfortably utilize the space year-round. I also need to research insurance

[@diyfferent]

We talked about the moving the hutch in a previous video, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2PRfK2DiZp2q6M

[@vickiehemb2691]

I think it looks really good you did a good job

[@timcritz3194]

I have 3 six foot tall versions of thise plastic cabinets in my shop. Mine are older versions without the metal shelf stiffeners so the shelves started to bow over time. I added a piece of osb to the tops of each shelf to strengthen them. Other then that they have held up fine for over 10 years.

[@diyfferent]

That's good to hear. Hopefully ours hold up too!

[@sewlovelym7361]

I think we need to think about the same thing here. We have so so many tools and equipment it's unreal for our age. We need to thin things out and share with our adult kids more of our big items. No more huge projects for us. Thank you for the inspiration and I so enjoy watching whenever you put out a video. Doug you have some amazing ideas and when you and Eevee get together with your joint ideas, which is all the time, you make it go seamlessly it seems. Blessings for a great weekend!

[@ellenprado9303]

Removing the door between the two sides of the building will give more storage to each side

[@melissatamer9193]

Looking great. Things are coming together.

[@BobbieJeanM]

The cabinets are perfect for paint cans and other supplies! Would it be helpful to make a list of the different colors and finish (semigloss, flat, etc.) for each shelf and tape it to the inside of a door. That way you won’t have to pull the front row off of each shelf when you want a particular color? Or maybe that’s just what I would have to do because I can’t remember where I put what color! 😆 Changes are coming along quickly and looking good! 👍💕😊

You’re making great progress !!! If one idea doesn’t pan out … try another 👍. ❤❤❤

Those are some neat shelves. Very easy assembly. I'm joking and I don't know how many difrent colors of paint you have. I wonder what color you would end up with if you mixed them all together and if it would be a nice color to paint whatever else you're going to paint on the storage unit.😊

[@janeysiegrist5061]

You could put the cabinets on top of the other one. AND you could do a pocket door there so the door wont be in the other room in the way. THAT would be nice

I prefer the plastic or resin cabinets too. I had them when I had a basement. Now I have a mix of plastic shelving units and wooden items. I’m stacking things prefer floor space in my small shed workshop/art studio. I’m hanging shelves on the wall so. Being creative is the way to go. I took down a lot of interior doors they weren’t needed for me. I like easy access in my old age lol

[@jacquicoder7160]

I really like those cabinets but you are so right, plastic is a dust magnet. I had a feeling that you wouldn't like where you initially put them, though. It looked like they would be too much in the way around the closet. All of your efforts to improve the space are looking good. This trailer is proving itself to be so handy already for much needed storage space.
