Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Paul, it looks fantastic. Melmine really can make the job a heck of a lot easier!
Have those spots been spoken for, or are you looking to fill them now?

lol... hopefully someone would have me committed before I made 10 more.
Jeremy, I took your advice and put casters on the bottom, too. GOOD IDEA, especially when 10 sheets of 24x48 melamine weigh as much as a small car.
Amanda, these are actually "upgraded" tubs so that individuals can have more space than just sweater boxes. Plus, I'm going to need all the room I can get for next year's anticipated offspring. I used to have a bias against melamine and wouldn't buy/use it for anything, but I was recently persuaded into giving it a try. I'm glad I did.

Nice, Paul. I'm getting ready to build another rack for me. And I agree with you. The casters are the best thing I added to mine.

Lucille, instead of routing out a groove for the heat tape, I decided to run the tape about 1 1/2" up the sidewall and then pass the cords out through the pegboard back. This way, the tubs aren't sliding over my lovely soldering job.
Then I decided to cover the heat tape with clear contact paper to hold it in place. It stuck down really well w/o wrinkling and the tubs slide over it w/o a problem. I was worried that the little "feet" on the tubs might catch on metal tape, otherwise I would have used that like I usually do.
Karen, the casters really make it more convenient, but you have to get really good, heavy-duty ones. The ones with rubber wheels roll easier than the hard plastic wheels, and having brakes on them is nice when your basement floor is pitched to a floor drain. They're not cheap though, I think these were $17 each.
