Well, I'm off to a good start today. I've got some preliminary painting done and I've assembled the shelving unit. Here's some photos:
Here is the interior shelf unit. I assembled it with 2" long wood screws. This will provide some manner of organization for the books and help to keep them upright:
This is what it looks like:
My next task was to begin the finishing process. I had a container of exterior paint in "coconut" which I think is another way of saying off-white. I painted the inside and the shelves this color so it's not too dark inside:
Then I tipped the box over and applied a coat of exterior deck stain to the underside:
I'm also adding some moulding to give the box a more finished look:
And that's where I am right now. I'm going to let everything dry and give the painted surfaces another coat of paint later on this evening. And I'll begin the face frame.
Stay tuned,
VW
