Made a tool caddy box that sort of looks like a mini horse stall in the corner. 100 percent scrap wood, so most of the scrap wood pile is gone too.
Also put in a header on the adjacent opening.
Tools are still piled up in the corner, but at least now they are not migrating into the walkable path as there is a 2x4 stop at the bottom.
Used up a few hangers and hooks too.
