Organization/Storage Ideas

[fshrchik]

A tall bed is a great idea, but we went with a futon that will work for bed and couch. The futon frame is high enough (we built it that way) that we can slide some low plastic storage containers beneath it (may end up containing the bedding we use at night). We have an 8cuft Sundanzer chest fridge and will not be puttting in a freezer. My husband telecommutes, so has to have a standing desk setup for work (so we can store some of his work things under that). Do any of you hang clothing? I've been wondering about hanging a bar from rope from the rafters to hang some clothing on. We also have two hanging "shoe" organizers that we've used for organizing our biking gear and/or winter gloves/hats/etc - those could be hung against a wall from the rafters I would think.



I like the idea of a water jug in the kitchen area that has a spout and that's what I figured we'd have. We'll have a bucket below a sink for the kitchen, too - basic stuff.



Our platform is not raised, so no storage there. (We have a rubble trench with grade beam poured on top of that. The yurt sits on the grade beam and is attached to it and the bender board (which is also attached to the grade beam. The floor is poured adobe that we are protecting and hardening further with linseed oil.)



We have a bunch of plastic three draw organizers (the taller variety) that can be stacked. I think we'll need to make liberal use of them. My husband doesn't like the looks of them, but I think he's just going to have to deal with it until the house is built.


Hierony, could you share a picture of your carboy setup? We have a couple of carboys and maybe your setup is a better way to go for us.


Thanks!
