Since the apartment
is so small, we thought we would construct a
built-in eating area.
Chip calls this project "geometry hell." Clada tested the
mock-ups that Chip used to figure out dimensions.
Chip built a 2x4
base.
Next
he figured out the necessary mitre cuts.
Lots
and lots of angles had to be determined.
He dry-fit the bench to
check all of the angles.
Before
we could install the booth frame, we painted the walls and
window, and installed wood trim.
Chip
was a good sport and made new picture frames so we could
hang pictures before installing the booth.
The
booth frames were installed.
Then
Chip added the lining which Clada had already
finished. He also installed an outlet in the booth.
Next
Chip installed the trim around the base and on top of the
four compartments.
Chip has made a
little more progress.
Chip constructed a table top out of leftover
Corian from the kitchen countertop. That stuff goes
everywhere!
We decided to try it out
before we finished
it.
And then it was done...we love the extra storage.
The booth is completely
done.
The last thing we did was install a new light fixture.
Yeah! We
finished a
project! This
