  • Hi, take it or leave it because I’m not very knowledgeable but I did do something like this with my partner. We used a shelf mounting system like this: https://a.co/d/60pkQw2 although I am not sure which exact one we used. I can look if you’re interested.

    We determined the location of the support beams, which mapped where we placed the vertical shelf supports. Drilling those into drywall anchors is not an option. Then, we determined the shelf lengths we’d need to fit the space we tried to fill. They sell numerous shelf lengths, so it was a puzzle of where we could support it, how long we wanted it, etc. We have a tv stand below the shelving for our entertainment center stuff and our TV. I’m happy to share more if it helps.

    None of this works if you really want to build the whole thing. But, it is easier than doing so and relates to what other commenter have said, this one travels a bit easier because you can use any parts that do fit your next place (which I know isn’t important right now).










  • Exactly:

    • It reheats food quickly with a better texture than the microwave
    • It keeps food warm once I’ve cooked it and i can use it to keep part of dinner warm while I cook the rest
    • It cooks food evenly because it is a convection oven, and starts the process quicker because it is small
    • It replaces my toaster
    • I can bake one thing in the oven (fish potatoes, broccoli) while the other cooks in the air fryer, especially helpful when they have vastly different cook times and temperatures







  • I cut my indoor basil and mint plants way back because they were making a mess. I hope they bounce back! This week, I’ll go out looking for a couple pepper plants to try kratky for the first time outdoors. Basically, I make a big nutrient solution in a bucket, I leave the plant’s dirt slightly submerged in the water, and hopefully the plant roots into the nutrients and grows like crazy. I have a small backyard and no hose hookup so I want this to be a simple solution to grow red peppers or poblanos’ as well as a spicy pepper like a jalapeño or Thai chili. Step 1 is finding the seedlings!
