Interior painting and pantry question |

The wire system is great is theory but reality is....I hate it in my bathroom closet! Bedroom closet isn't so bad but still not great. The problem I have is that anything that doesn't span several wires is likely to tip over or be unstable. Deodorant or shaving cream is always tipped on it's side, etc. It is great for towels and keeping dust and lint off of the shelving but the small items look disorganized. I imagine small items in a pantry would have the same problem. Plus, this stuff is pretty expensive for what you get.

With those types of remodels, its not terribly important except the obvious stuff.
Will this bath be out of service or being used during this time?
I'd do the faceframe first with a strong desire to just replace the entire cabinet and have it just replaced in a day instead of futzing with in-situ. You may have to remove the existing counter top to do so.
I'd probably gut everything I'm not saving first, repaint (even behind the toilet), Then the cabinet, counter top (with sink) and then fixtures.
I'd consider a couple of extras while I was in there...
Replace single outlet boxes with doubles at the sink area. GFCI if not already.
Replace angle stops if any age on them at all. Use 1/4 turn valves.
Increase lighting.
Add high CFM, quiet fan, preferably on a timer especially in high humidity locations.

Shop vac - disappointing |

Is it a shop vac brand or you just generally talking about shop vacs? I haven't been impressed with shop vac brand vacuums at all, mostly due to the small hose. I have been using rigid vacuums and haven't really noticed that issue, even without a prefilter and they have a larger hose. I also started using the washable filters, which I really like. I have a rigid vac I bought 8-9 years ago and it is still going strong. I hooked it up to one of those vacuum manifold kits and it still has good suction with all that piping and a couple sections of flexible hose.
