Our new shelves! Notice the tree bolted into the wood

Our our food supply for the year. Pasta, lentils, beans, dry milk, PB&J and miscilanous tomatoes are the big winners here


We were really lucky and got the newest, nicest teacher housing, probably in the entire district. The only downside to that was that we didn't have much shelving. So one night I went out scavenging for some nice flat rocks and some boards. As I was scrounging through the scrap pile, one of the carpenters approached me. I told him my vision of boards stacked on rocks. He laughed and said that it wouldn't be "fashionable" enough for us. Anyway, we fed him some dinner and he built us a few shelves. Here's the one he built above our washer and dryer.

I asked for rustic.
