As I suspected, I was overthinking the problem. I hadn't thought of the
suggestion of how to check the level at the store. That helps a lot!
I had thought of some of the pre-fab kits, but a buddy of mine gave me
three pieces of particle board shelving 2' wide by 8' long. I have some
assorted 2x4's sitting around, so I am mostly set for materials. Plus,
I would like the experience, even with something so simple.
Thanks for all the advice.
