[blindkid] storage solutions

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     When I was in school, my Father mount shelves on one wall of my 
bedroom. They went from floor to ceiling and I used a step stool to get to 
the top shelf. By the time I left high school, I had nearly 90 feet of 
shelving in my room.

Regards,

Robert

>> We need some storage solutions! We're in a house with no garage, no
>> basement, no attic space, very small closets. Where do you store all the

>>
>> Winona has 3 tall bookcases in her room all full without. 1 bookcase with
>> her personal books, toys, little goodies. We still have 6 boxes of books
>> that aren't unpacked. There is no place to store the boxes full of books,
>> and it's easier for Winona to get to them on bookcases. All the teachers
>> have a variety of books, and they jump around in them.

>> Our other issue is the games. We turned half the linen closet into a game
