[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 3930814, member: 50228"] I agree on the 1/2" plywood idea. You don't need 3/4" and the extra cost plus the added headache of dragging it around isn't worth it. You can screw things to 1/2" just fine, and put up 2x4s anywhere you need additional support for heavier items. One thing, if you leave a gap at the bottom (which you should, to prevent any spills from sucking up and rotting it out), run a length of hardware cloth (wire) or screening around the bottom of the wall before putting up the plywood. to keep the mice out. And finally, you need keep a busted motor around or some other broken thing for that old man to work on. Don't leave him hanging. You have all year to break something and put it on a bench or go pick something up off craigslist. Us old farts need to stay busy or death will catch up with us!
