Hanging pans

Further relating to the last post I made with some great household ideas - I completed one of them. Yeah for once I didn't just sit back and think, "what a great idea!" I actually did something about it.

I saw a tip that suggested hanging pots inside a deep storage area. I've been trying to convince my fiancé to put in an extra shelf in our rediculously deep/tall storage area for my pots and pans as so far they've just sat nestled amongst each other.

This project involved $31 and a trip to bunnings. In which I bought a screw up extendable pole - there was difficulty in finding it - it was in the plumbing section. That cost me $16 for the length I needed. And then some S shaped hooks to hang the actual pots off. I ended up finding the quantity and size I needed in the landscaping area (designed for hanging planter pots). They did have S shaped hooks amongst the hangings area but they were $3 for one and I wanted about 10ish hooks for this project. They sold a pack of 4 S hooks for $5 do I bought 3 packets giving me $12 hooks in total. Then at home I just sized the pole up (found it easiest to put it in at the length on an angle and then push the pole into the desired place - gave a tighter/stronger fitting. The hooks is bought where a little snug on the pole so I ended up placing them before putting the pole into place - again this has worked in my benefit as I'm far less likely to accidentally knock hooks off.

I'm quite chuffed with the end result although I still need to find some way to hang my pots which at this point don't have a hanging hole in the handle. I have intentions of putting a small rail into the door for storing the lids into in the future. I'm also thinking of possibly getting another rail for the skillet and the wok (that I rarely use) to store those further at the back of the cupboard.

So here It is for your viewing pleasure. I'll keep you updated over its functionality and the fiancé' reaction incoming days.
