60 Liner Feet Of Shelving

With 60 liner feet of shelving you would think one might have plenty of room, well guess again. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to books, at least it's the lions share of art related ones anyway. They not organized yet as we just want to get everything up and out of the way for now. She also has several mobile bins that will go along the bottom for easy access. As I said before it is coming together.

Still room at the top.

A Very Busy Day

Yesterday was a very busy day, right away I put some mud on spots that needed touching up. While it was drying I picked up the pine ( 1 x 2 x 14 ft) and ReBecca was in town to see what shelving parts were available. After that we went into Saint John to do a little shopping, and get additional shelving parts that weren't available in town. It was a very quick trip, two stops and lunch all in under two hours. Once we got home I got busy sanding the touch ups, I vacuumed and mopped the floor, pulled down the plastic patrician and primed everything. Then two coats of ceiling paint, two coats of wall paint and a good coat on the floor to dry over night. All in all a very good day. Today the shelf wall mounts and brackets are up and the shelves will be up soon, once they are cut to desired length, those pictures later.

Primers on.
Ceiling is done, two coats.

Two coats on the walls.

Add a touch of color to the floor and it's done.

The Last 8 Feet

After getting all the books and supplies moved from the last 8 feet ReBecca was done for the day, that was yesterday at 9:30 PM, and she started in the afternoon, she had it well organized and packed it. This morning we moved the book cases downstairs and I was able to start putting up the last 12 sheets of drywall. And because I could start a little earlier than planed, I got the seams taped and the mud is on. Tomorrow I'll get it sanded (wet sanding) apply the second coat of mud, get the fans going and maybe just maybe I could get it sanded and the third coat on. It's an open area and the corners are very easy to do.


The last 8 feet.

It only took 12 sheets to do this part.

The first coat of mud is on.

Looks good.
