The Bug Room
August, 2017: Having moved mealworms to the basement from the laundry room, this walk-in closet became known as The Bug Room. The floor is 2.5'x10'.
The concrete offset in view on the right (below) have storage shelves, hidden by a curtain.
A table/shelf (above) was installed at a comfortable height and the stud wall was covered with a piece of remnant carpet. Use what you have! On the opposite end of the closet, (below) are more shelves and drawer units. The louvered panel door to the left is "the closet inside the closet", which is a great place for Christmas trees and delicate decorations.
October, 2017 - February, 2018:
Expanding the worm farm with superworms, [See the blog page, Superworm Farm.]
More drawers and changes to the work shelf, taking advantage of vertical space (below):
  2019: With the next expansion (below) of my insect farm to include dubia roaches, I have stacked large, drawer units to the right of the main closet door. I sourced these drawers locally for a great discount through yard sales. Rolling drawer units make use of the floor space for mealworms and superworms (not pictured below).  ALL Drawers Are Full What next? Where to next? |
The louvered doors and stud walls were covered with thin wood panel board.
To expand the roach business further, large Sterilite drawers were placed on the concrete offset wall.
May, 2022:
The entire basement floor, including the Bug Room, was covered with luxury vinyl plank (LVP), but, no pictures of this project. The walls were finally painted, too.
