3. Installed a "pull-out" shelf in the coroner cabinet, under the cook top.
4. Installed a T-paper holder up and under the bathroom sink.
5. Moved the 3 pouch holder, in the bathroom, up 6", so it will stay UP, when being used.

Do you recall where you got the two steps?

I called my dealer, where I purchased the R-Pod. He sold it to me at cost, $86.00
The spets were 1/2 narrower the the original. Nothing a couple washers could not make up for.
P.S. I am in Meadville, PA

What size nails or screws did you use and what type of board for the shelves you put in the closet?

I wondered the same thing! I kept picturing one of those long body drawers at the morgue. I guess the 179 has a LOT more room then the 177!

As for steps, I installed these from eTrailer. I just had to enlarge the back screw holes a bit. Otherwise a perfect fit.

I made 3/4 x 3/4 x 10 square rods to hold up the sides of the metal shelves. The shelf was made, using "Closest Maid" wire shelves. I measured the tubs, that I planed to use for height. Added an extra 1/4" or so, to have 6 tubs. As for the screws I used 1" drywall screw with glue on the wall side.

I would love to see the pull-out shelf for the cabinet under the stove. I love the 2 steps also, I will have to check into that. We are also looking at putting in the window in the door. Did you install it or have someone install it for you? Great mods.
