Indoor projects

My favorite indoor project is my new pot rack ... we looked all over for a pot rack, but only found the scrawniest things, then we found some heavy duty commercial shelving units & inspiration hit ....


The phrase 'you get what you pay for' proved itself correct, again, when we purchased cheap ceiling fans in an effort to make our builder happy about the budget.... The fans look okay, but their blades kept growing a nasty mold -


You can see it better here -

Solved the problem by having pressure treated lumber resawn into thin slabs, then fitted into blades.

And here you see the finished product - I like it much better than the original and think these blades fit in with my 'rustic' theme much better.
