Was building some shelves for the garage, just 2x4 + plywood construction, nothing fancy. This is a budget build, all of the lumber used was recycled pieces from other projects, left overs, etc.
I was doing the building outside on the cement pad in front of my garage. Used a level to make sure everything was squared up. Moved the shelf into the garage, set it next to the wall where I needed it. Stepped back, looked at it. It was crooked.
Problem is I built it on the pad in front of the garage ... it has a couple degree slope to allow water to drain away from the garage door. So now my shelf unit has a couple degree slope.
At least I was smart enough to realize how I made the mistake.
