![]() 11/4/2006: Here's Max sitting in the corner of the future closet. I've laid out the base-plates for the floor, and fastened non-skid furniture coasters to the bottom. The base-plates are not nailed/glued/or otherwise attached to the floor, so that I didn't have to cut the carpet or nail into the floor (where our under-carpet heater is). |
![]() 11/14/2006: The framing's done! The top plate is screwed directly into the ceiling studs, making the whole shebang extremely stable. The door you see to the left is the main entry into the master bedroom. This is going to be one big closet! Nearly 6x10 feet! |
![]() 11/23/2006: Happy Thanksgiving! The drywall is up and I've started the dreaded task of taping and mudding. All tape is up, and the first coat of mud has been applied everywhere except on the inner corners (which there are a million of). |
![]() 12/14/2006: So the mudding, taping, and painting is all done! I still have to add the baseboards and door casings, but that'll have to wait until after Santa comes to visit (cross your fingers!). Then the door, and the shelving and it'll be done! Stay tuned. |
![]() 1/5/2007: Thanks to Santa and the Porter Cable 6 gallon air compressor & brad-gun set (plus my new Denali compound miter saw) the baseboards and door casings are done! As you can see the door's also installed, and all that's left is mounting the light inside and installing all of the shelving. |
![]() 1/8/2007: And the interior's done too! Here's a view through the door. There are two sets of floor-to-ceiling shelf units on the right and left with bars in between, a set of drawers to the right, and two corner units. There are a total of 5 bars for clothes and a zillion shelves! |
![]() 1/8/2007: Here's a view inside and to the left. Long things are gonna hang here. |
![]() 1/8/2007: And this is the left rear corner with plenty of space for purses, shoes, and other accessories. |
![]() 1/8/2007: And this is the right rear corner. Thanks for keeping track of my progress, and stay tunes for the next big project!! |
