[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Plan a shelving or storage project. The need: [STORAGE_NEED]. Wall type and location (for example, plasterboard, brick): [WALL_TYPE]. Loads I expect: [LOADS]. Tools and skill: [TOOLS_SKILL]. Help me design the unit with dimensions and a cut list, a materials list, and hardware choices explained in general terms (fixings depend on the wall and load, so check manufacturer load ratings [VERIFY]). Include steps for finding studs or checking what is behind the wall (cables and pipes) using a detector and care, and a warning not to drill where pipes or cables may run. Give a safe loading guide and a plan to test the fixings gradually. Mention when to call a professional, for example for heavy loads. Add a simple load calculation method using the weight of the items I list, a safety margin, and the rated capacity of the fixings which I must read from the packaging [VERIFY]. Include a checklist for the finished shelf, such as checking level and testing gradually, and a note on anchoring tall units to prevent tipping. Include a short safety and permits check at the end, with rules for [JURISDICTION] marked [VERIFY] and the point at which I should stop and hire help.
