Just how many industrial shelves is a housewife supposed to need for her hobby????

I just got back from Home Depot a bit ago. I have two large shelves in my gun room and a few smaller ones that are placed here and there, wherever they would fit when we started moving things around. I have some large numbers expected to come in over the next few weeks.....so I thought I'd go ahead and rearrange things so I could get more of the larger shelves in there. I had a third one that I put in our washroom because I wanted to leave the ammo and heavy things downstairs.....but Larry filled those shelves up with his tools and such almost instantly, so I just called that one a loss.
So, tomorrow my son in law is coming over to put these things together for me. I picked up one large one and two of the smaller ones. Altogether this will make the NINTH shelving unit I have bought for this hobby of mine.
We put cardboard down on the shelves and then cover them with green felt like carpet to protect the guns that are put on them. I was surprised I could get these things in my Highlander. For a minute, I thought I was going to have to borrow Larry's truck.
The original plan was to run to Sam's because they are $20 cheaper there....but they had a line out the door where people were waiting to go in. I wasn't in the mood to wait, so I drove on over to Home Depot....what a mess of people running all over that place! Almost no masks on anyone too. I wore mine, but I felt silly once I saw how many people weren't wearing one.

You have a real good hobby Kasey. 😁
no kissing up just a observation your business ethics and honesty , not counting your top 100 well it says a lot about you
toss in all the family and dogs and neighbor and buyer stories well that just adds to your character
Perhaps you need a "she shed" for this "hobby".
Dang, i miss the green font.
Larry keeps threatening to have a building built for this thing I have going on. I told him if it didn't come with an in ground pool don't even try. I know he's just itching to have another building to fill up with junk really. In all seriousness I am going to buy one of those outbuildings to put my shipping boxes in. The loft of the barn is where we keep them now and its a chore to always have to bring bundles in so we can pack the boxes.
