2015

Wow! Is it really 4 years since I started this? Not sure what happened but things came to a halt for too long after the last entry. Now it is moving ahead again. I'm not going to make bold predictions this time. Just make entries as things happen. First up, I finally finished the walls and gave the interior a coat of paint.

Next up came bases for the cabinets. It was at this point that we discovered thet the floor has a nasty slope into one corner which meant the the Bases at the far end had to be packed up by 40mm to bring them level with the nearest one. To minimise the gap under the base, I had to nail on a strip of 18mm x 18mm pine to it.

I had trouble trying to work out what sort of cabinets I wanted and who I could get to build them until I hit on the idea of using IKEA kitchen base cabinets as I could buy them to suit my needs and build them myself. $2000 later and I have most of the cabinets I need for my room. There are still three more required to fill gaps but they will have to be bespoke units, one of which will include a work bench which I haven't quite worked out yet. I am thinking of a slide out type bench as the railway will be running across the top of the unit. Stay tuned and I'll get back to you. Hopefully it won't take another 4 years.

There are more cabinets at the other end of the room but this should give the general idea.
