The top shelf of the kitchen island has had this sag happening:
I had noticed it in the past, but never did anything about it. I'm sure it was caused by the sheer weight of stuff I had stored in here - a bunch of which has been purged, hallelujah.
I went to the garage looking for wood I could cut to fit below the top shelf, vertically, and lo and behold found one. I had to use a hand saw, but it was relatively easy.
Do you see it? You wouldn't even know it was there, lurking behind the middle of the cabinet on both sides.
I pulled most of the things out to see if it was straight. IT WAS. No sag!
I used some hair elastics to help keep cords together. And I gave everything a really good wipe down.
Including the crock pot which had lime buildup from pots of beans.
Mostly removed by a little soak in white vinegar.
Everything got put back in an order that made sense. I used a couple of small baskets and a tray for small items. Nothing heavy on the top shelf.
There is lots of empty space down here and I aim to keep it that way.
