"Hey, Mom, can I do this to my bedroom?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"What a mess, you should have charged a dollar a whack." |
|

And what it looks like from the bedroom/office. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
All finshed. Makes a great place to store tools. The building stocks are on the floor. Should have unpacked these earlier as they are still damp. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bedroom side. Just need to texture & paint. |

The building stock timbers after 3 hot, dry days. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The end rails with legs attached. One took a bad twist. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The forward station set in place. I deviated from the plans here. The uprights & legs are to be on the forward side of the rail. I flipped it to the aft side so the legs will be on the main garage floor not on the step up in the bump. |
