I spent Labor Day using my theater carpentry skills by rigging a storage hoist for our extra dining room chairs. Apart from large family gatherings, these chairs were stored in the basement. But because we have to keep the basement clear for remodeling, the garage trusses were the obvious choice for additional storage space.
The block and tackle system makes it easy for one person to hoist or lower the chairs. Now, we’ll have an easy way to access the chairs when we need them AND remodel the basement.
