Santa Fe RV Park

Apache Junction, AZ

Pantry drawer fix-

The opening for the shelves are too large so cans fall out behind the drawer when we travel.

Materials: (2) 7’ white alum screen framing.

Package 5mm shelf support angle nickel (8pk)

Package 6  5/8” Oval Quad Deep Thread nickel screws.

Package #8 x 5/8” Pan Head Phillips screws

Step 1: Monte cut three 20” strips of white alum screen framing and screwed in across the middle of opening of each shelf on the side next to the oven.  We decided to have the strips on this side stationary because it is awkward to access cans on this side as there is not much room to move when the drawer is pulled out.

Step 2: Monte installed an angle support on each side of the opening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Monte then cut three 17” strips of while alum screen framing

 and drilled holes on the ends to correspond with the angle supports.

The strips can be easily moved to access the cans. 

Hopefully for approximately $13 we have solved the problem of the wandering cans but we won’t know until we’re on the road again.

We received a severe dust storm warning on our phones in the early afternoon while the sky was still clear. 

BUT by 4PM the visibility was so poor that we could hardly make out the mountains in the distance.
