You watched us design and build this house in 150 days, but the work is far from over.
We're about to jump into my favorite part of the process of bringing all this together.
Join me for an exclusive look right here on eHow Home. Now, Paul, you mentioned a few
things that you've done with regard to storage and being more efficient, and I see all these
drawers and things, and it looks pretty swell. This is the thing that's been so successful.
I found these drawers. What are they? Well, they came from a big machine shop up in the
Midwest, and I found them in Louisville, and the guy had three or four pallets, and I bought
one pallet and didn't know what to do with them. And then, so, my guys kinda designed
this thing around them. And you found this wood knobs. We applied the wood *** to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And all of that. And it's just a multifunctional storage unit. It's
made out of recycled oak lumber. Yeah. And, of course, the pans are recycled. Sure. Reused,
I should say. They're repurposed or whatever. Right. Anyway, these have been just immensely
popular. And I see a great… What's going on back there -- you got some chains back
there? Well, we installed these chains, and the purpose of them is to keep the drawer
coming out. Oh, okay, so you hook that in the back so -- ah-ha! See, it's like that.
Cut down on spills. So you don't still your potatoes. So you could use it for produce
-- I hadn't though about that. Yeah, I see it multipurpose in the kitchen. You know,
there's always need for organization in the kitchen. Certainly in my mine. And, so, I
could see it for flatware and then utensils. Right, right. That sort of thing. I love the
fact that you're using linens in here too. But, you know, and then as the dry goods in
the way of potatoes and things like that, that would be excellent -- I love it, yeah.
And, so, this cabinet, you all actually built here with… We built the cabinet to fit the
drawers. Yeah. It was kind of a backwards sort of thing, but it worked out beautifully.
And I wish I could find some more. I bet if anybody will, you will. We tried -- they are
no more. I wanna get the dimensions of this because I think that -- we have a mud room
that's right off the kitchen, and this is the kind of thing that would be perfect. Because
in a mudroom, you gotta store all kinds of things, and this would be a great way to organize,
well, as we've talked about, all kinds of things. I like it -- it's got, you know, flat
space on the top for extra storage up here. Yep. It's great. A good use of space. Yeah,
excellent, excellent. Good work. So, Paul, what other clever ways do you have storing
things? You know, I'm glad you mentioned that. Come here, let me show you. Hey, if you're
enjoying this, check in regularly. You're gonna see where we use these things in the
