While running the rear camera cable wire for our Garmin back up camera I stumbled upon a huge, the term being relative, void.
Beneath the outside storage box next to the hot water heater was an open area (around the size of one of the those Home Depot red buckets). This was just wasted space that I had to convert into usable storage.
I cut the Azdel board and drilled a finger open hole. Screwed in some plastic board to keep the cargo from traveling into the hot water heater.
Nice use of closed off void. We did something similar with the 16 TBS next to the furnace for shoe storage.
Cool! I've been tempted to convert that space next to the furnace in the 16TBS too. Your post has inspired me to greater effort and I think I'll make it into a shoe space also.
We did not put a divider up in the 16 TBS shoe space. Just made sure no shoes were touching the furnace when turning on the propane heater.
