For some real trash-core DIY, I recommend using the free prio-mail cardboard boxes from the post office.
You don't even need to go in to get them, you can just order them free and they'll ship them free in bulk.
The medium sized ones make excellent shelves that can hold all manner of disc based format (and VHS if you're a dumbass like me).
They can also hold modestly sized books which is of course a plus for comrades.
Cut the closing flaps off the box and you can make supports so they don't totally bend in (I don't know if they'd actually cave in though without them, they might continue to hold but bent as hell).
Add a nice helping of duct tape to hold everything together and you're good, bone-apple-teeth.
One final word on the matter is that these become structurally shitty the more vertical you make them (shocker, huh).
What I've done is lean them back into boxes that are flat on the floor, and their weight holds them without sliding.
That probably only works for carpet, but whatever
They were actually fairly stable at four tall, but five started to present troubles, and six is obviously leaning.
Anyhow there you go, a shelf for the masses.

>>29073They aren't but in that case your request is impossible, you either stick it to a wall with adhesive or make it hang from the wall with a nail. You should start thinking about hanging it from the ceiling or putting it on a stand. Consider a picture frame as a last case scenario.

No.29251
>>29071Thanks. ya I probably was overthinking it.
Ended up using cinderblocks because the whole point here is to get water away from the foundation of the garage, so digging a hole and filling it with grave right beside said foundation is probably a bad idea. Havent actually filled them with water yet but it seems stable enough.
Now im putting on the gutters and jesus its a pain because the garage itself is ancient and practically falling over so nothing is level. Im basically trying to get water to flow uphill but I think ive got it now, waiting for a rain this afternoon to see what else I need to move and or patch with caulk.
In retrospect spending the extra money for seamless gutters might been worth it

is it okay to paint my wall with poster paint? i can't afford real paint
Also I want to hang up my UPS which is like 3-4 kg on the wall, ner my PC is there any other better way?
Should I get a custom made wood one by carpenter or do it myself (I don't have a drill) or will a cheap online bought wall shelf be able to hold a UPS?
No.30898
>>30895I don't think it's a good idea, poster paint is generally pretty thin, would take forever to get an opaque layer on the wall.
a better option would be to find a secondhand contractor supply place (like habitat for humanity's ReStore) and buy an opened bucket of acyrlic housepaint.
as far as your UPS, a store bought shelf should be fine, as long as its anchored to studs in your wall (assuming you have drywall, it's different for masonry/concrete). You will definitely need both a drill and a stud finder to do it safely.
you could also pick up a shelf at ReStore for cheap. Check pawn shops for a good deal on a drill, its a popular item for resale by junkies etc, can often be got cheap.
