Improved from last year with earthquake protection on the front of the shelves. Canned more this year than I ever have before! Feeling mighty proud 💪

    That’s amazing! Our basement freezer died recently, and while I was able to salvage some stuff, I was kind of surprised at how old some of my frozen veggies were, so my next project is some kind of canning/freezing inventory. Do you have a system?

    I call this pantry po*n, ha ha! I love to see what people have achieved. Great job! It must be so reassuring to have a reserve like this and all due to your own hard work and self reliance. I hope to have something like this someday. Right now I only made plum jam.

    This is my dream basement, and my canning nightmare. Excellent work!

    Looks fantastic!! I am currently in the planning stages of acquiring such a sexy set up; can I ask how you built your shelves?? Looks like 2×4 framing and a thick plywood for each shelf base but do you have any 2×4 bracing under each shelf? I know full jars get heavy and I’m curious as to how much support that many jars require so the shelves don’t bow. Amazing job and it all looks delicious! 🙂

    Wow! That is gorgeous. This is definitely goals!

  7. Really fantastic storage of canned goods and taters! I love the earthquake rail, but what about jars knocking into each other? I have pondered that problem for years. Bubble wrap around every jar? Cardboard “cards”?
