Need cheap chrome wire shelves 24 x 48
Comments (14)Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, they all have their advantages. It's certainly tempting to make wooden shelves or buy steel shelf units with wooden shelves, but I really like the chrome wire look. The airiness of it makes it look less overpowering in size, and I think the air and light circulation would be better. And if it has wheels I can roll it outside for hardening off. The link to Northern that MM supplied is really what I'm looking for and it's cheaper than the Global shelves. But when I add $50 for shipping I have to decide if I really want to spend the money. Home Depot has some chrome and black wire shelves but nothing in a 24 x 48 size. I wish I had a Menard's in the area but no luck. There are a few lucky people who got racks from bakers going out of business, but that's something that you just fall into by luck. I'll try Costco again tomorrow to see if they have any 24" deep units. If not I might settle for the Costco 18 x 48 or else I'll buy the Northern one. Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Comments (44)Solar, I really do appreciate the research you did for me. We were permitted prior to 2008 (actually in 2006 I believe) which should help me with the issue. In addition, I did find (after some research) another little piece of that code that seems to say that the whole issue is exempt from the 18" rule IF I have outlets on each side which are less than 48" from each other. I'm going to go over and measure while I'm doing plaster today. I could easily move those outlets to be compliant with the 48" rule. I actually do want to put an outlet on the "shelf" as we are now labeling it heh heh I want to use (I don't remember the name of it) one of those below counter plugs that is used in labratorys (because of water being close) that pops up to give you access to the fixture. This would be in the farthest reach of the corner, used for our Aerogarden which we'll keep in that window. I can't mount anything on the wall because it's a very very small area, basically with just the structural beams intersecting for the building in it, and those can't be cut into for power issues. Either way, I think you solved a really stupid problem that's been bothering me so I'm glad I complained. I'm going to wander through the site and see if anything else is bothering me LOL what are you doing tonight? heh heh heh You Rock!!!!...See MoreMore Trash Talk.....best use of 24'
Comments (23)It is amazing how judgmental and accusatory some "Pro"fessionals can be! I posted a question on this thread as I'm planning a renovation on a home we purchased that I have not yet lived in. My current city makes it prohibitively difficult to recycle as curbside recycling was repealed and even when one goes through the effort of taking the recycling to the refuse facility with limited hours, the bins are unreachable and I've heard that the recycling is taken to the trash dump after all and after bleach ruined the carpet in my vehicle, it isn't worth it here. Like funkycamper, I limit as much of my my purchase of packaged items as much as possible, shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. Packaged items include cereal or cracker boxes, plastic milk and juice cartons, small plastic trays or cups, bread bags, applesauce cups to berry containers to plastic take-home containers when we eat out, to toilet paper rolls. Even purchasing perishables and limited processed food produces much recycling. With two teenagers with many friends in our home, we consume quite a bit of food--good, healthy, mostly homemade fresh food. While under renovation, I have begun separating my recyclables in my current home and taking them to my new home. It has been eye-opening how a majority of my trash is recyclable. I can fill two lawn sized trash bags per week with recyclables. Since I won't have to walk downstairs, but only down the hall to the garage to empty my recycling, perhaps it won't be a big deal to empty my recycling every few days as it fills. It is just that most recyclables tend to be bulky, so folding them just to fit them in a too-small recycle bin could be avoided if there were larger cabinet options. My kitchen designer originally drew my cabinets to have a 24" dishwasher to the right of my sink and a 24" bank of drawers to the left of my sink, but placed the 18" trash pullout to the right of dishwasher--completely out of reach. It made no sense to me, but I could see that her goal was to create a symmetrical look, despite the lack of function. If symmetry is so important to kitchen designers, one would think that by now, since most people want their trash under or next to the kitchen sink, there might be a good 24" solution by now to go opposite the dishwasher other than the smallish bins in the 3-part recycling center. I was hoping for some insight on this thread, not instructions on how to take out my trash, how to stomp on cans (which I'd never dream of doing on my new wood floors--though I seldom use canned goods anyway), or telling me that I'm not working hard enough to fold my recyclables. When I considered a compactor, I called Waste Management who said NOT to use one. And, by the way, not that it is anyone's business, but I have a bad elbow so certain motions including breaking down boxes and crushing things by hand can be painful. I can hardly lift a small omelet pan with my right arm. I also live in a state where we have to consider returnables as well. There is a 10 cent deposit on every can or bottle. Those must be stored separately and returned at a grocery store where when you walk in, instead of the sweet smell of fresh bakery items, it smells of stale beer like a dump! I find it grotesque to purchase my food in the same place where I dispose of recyclables. So I really only want two compartments in my pullout for trash and recycling. I put returnables back in their original boxes, stored in my pantry, to transport back to the grocery store, and my paper goes in a large wicker bin that my children dump in a recycling dumpster at their schools. My grandparents lived in the middle of a 60 acre orange grove--everything was recycled (literally as in re-used, including ziplock bags) or burned. We never needed plastic jugs for orange juice--we'd re-used milk containers and dump the orange peels over the fence across the road for the cattle to eat. Thanks AnnKH and funkycamper for sharing your experiences in a constructive Houzzworthy way! :-)...See MoreIs a 24 inch wide sink to small?
Comments (8)I am happy with my 25x19 inch sink. We are a family of 4 and dh is a chef, it has worked out perfectly. But I have nothing to compare it to. I have never had the huge sink. The quality of the sink has been wonderful. It is made by Kindred. I searched high and low for one that would fit a 27 inch cabinet and give us the most space. I think they usually come 23x17, but I found this one that is 25x19. I did purchase the sink grid and love, love love it! It wasn't cheap. I found it on Faucet direct and they gave it to me for $280. Now on most websites it is listed around $380! And that doesn't include the grid. I think I haggled with them to get the price down! It is 18 gauge, 9 inches deep, and the drain is a little toward the back which I love. Radiant/silk finish. If you want some pictures to get the idea of size let me know. My backsplash was just grouted today( a year and a half after the kitchen was done!), so I have to clean up a bit! Good luck...See MoreRelated Professionals
