[Rhodes22-list] Under galley storage

[Michael D. Weisner]

Jerry,

We had no shelves or storage under the galley when we purchased our R22. 
After several attempts at productively utilizing the space, we have settled 
on a set of wire-frame shelves originally designed for closet organization. 
This provided good vertical separation within the space and plastic bins or 
baskets were placed on the shelves to contain various kitchen items.  We 
really needed some drawers.  Last year, we pulled out a couple of bins and 
replaced them with Sterilite Clearview Drawers: 
http://www.sterilite.com/Category.html?Section=Storage&ProductCategory=45 
(available at Wal-Mart, $8/#1791, 3-drawer unit.)  They are available in 
black or white trim with clear drawers.  Check the office supplies aisle, 
the household goods aisle has the larger units.  I secured the drawer units 
to the wire frame with Tywraps around the drawer frames.

Nothing to build, easy to change and very functional.
