Dumpster diving for shaving supplies?!

Okay, I never actually dove INTO a dumpster but I did find a perfect shelving unit that someone threw out with the trash. Like most guys, I have a shelf in the bathroom that was getting very full. While I was thinking about adding another shelf, I can across this CD/DVD storage unit next to the dumpster. It's a very heavy unit of reasonable quality and in perfect condition. So last night, I anchored it to the wall just outside of the bathroom for all the overflow shaving accessories I have...and yes, I understand it's a very small collection compared to some of you nutters. I think it turned out very nice...especially since it was free! What do you think:

It's sweet! Great score there.

Nice score, the way it frames your thermostat really makes the whole thing worth it. :)

Ha! It was rather comical last night. The placement of the unit (VERY heavy) was dictated by that thermostat. No choice! There is no way I could hold it up against the wall and mark where the holes would go without breaking the thermostat. Fortunately, I was able to rig up a temporary support (an old audio shelf with a few books on top) to hold the unit while I marked the holes and mounted the screws. That fact that I didn't destroy that thermostat is a minor miracle.

GREAT score for sure!

It just goes to show that another mans trash is another mans treasure... I think thats how it goes.

Looks great & holds a lot, I like it!

Great idea :idea:

That's an AWESOME find!! And it looks great!

Sweet! Looks like its about perfect.

Beautiful! Reduce, reuse and recycle! Plus, I could imagine adding all sorts of stuff before you need another shelf...

Cheers

Well done, looks great! Ken
