<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This email is sort of a call for advise and for interest. I am getting way ahead of myself, as much depends on whether we get a grant we will be applying for, but I thought I might get started in polling if anyone might have use for 4 foot
wide, 3 foot deep steel shelves (and associated crossbars and support bars) designed for compactor storage carriages bought from Space Saver/Diversified Storage Solutions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The New Jersey State Museum, Bureau of Natural History, will be applying for a grant that would allow us to replace these shelves with drawers on rollers. *<b>IF</b>* we get the grant, we will end up with about 260 of these steel, powder-painted
shelves (4’ wide x 3’ deep) and associated cross and support bars, to re-home, as we could not re-use most of them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there anybody on this list that has units that could accommodate that size shelf, and could use any? You wouldn’t have to take them all (and they wouldn’t be available for a couple years yet, assuming we get the grant).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is all theoretical at this point, but I would assume we would give them away to another institution; however they would have to be picked up (or shipping arranged/paid) by the interested party.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would really hate to scrap them, they’re in great shape for the most part (purchased/installed in late 2006). Their color is “Designer Gray.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am assuming there isn’t a place where they could be exchanged for other size shelves, or sold used. If you know of any, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any advice on what to do with these shelves (should we be successful in replacing them with drawers), would be most welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
