Second Shelf Wall and Corner

After lots of research on dealing with inside corners of shelves, I decided on the method seen in the picture above. I picked it because it seems to make the best use of space. Melissa thinks cabinet doors for most of the corner shelves will be useful because we'll probably use them for linens and other random stuff. I agree. Now I just have to figure out how to frame out a space to attach hinges...not fun.

I used nailers in the plaster walls on the corners and on each of the surrounding shelves. The nailers on the surrounding shelves will easily hold the weight. I skipped the plywood backing for the corner shelves because it would have been too difficult to try to fit it in there properly...also because I ran out of 1/4" plywood. Once we paint it and cover most of the corner shelves with cabinet doors, nobody will care.

I used 1 X 2 popular as the face over all the exposed plywood edges. It will help prevent shelf sag on some of the longer spans. It also allowed me to get away with Brek's adjoining carcase suggestion.

I went a little crazy with the nail gun while attaching the face pieces. The darn thing is so fun, I just got careless and several of the nails went in crooked and came back out in wrong places. I'll pull these nails through with plyers and patch the damage with wood putty...the joy of paint grade projects.
