Starting OVER AGAIN I'm having a cabinet maker build me a 8 foot shadowbox layout section to start out with. STARTING OUT small this time. About a year ago I went gun-ho and built 64 feet of L girder benchwork in part of my basement. After I got it done and looking at it about a week The light bulb came onand thought who in the hell is going to build all this buy MYSELF So im trying another approach this time so we'll see what happens. No pictures Yet.
Craig, Good luck on the new railroad. I wish I could find someone local to build some bench work for me. I am building my railroad in 4 foot sections and finishing a new section before starting the next section. That way it appears like I have accomplished something. Eight feet is a great wat to go and can be finished to a high detail in a year or two.
Well didn't workout with this guy seen him Thursday He wants 500 bucks to do one 8 foot section when I seen them on MRH site they build there's for 150 bucks each using cabinet grade lumber. So that's not going to happened. So everything is on HOLD I think I'm going to Start buying my dropped ceiling material and get it all and get that done in the next few months. With a nice ceiling done and LED lighting then the hard part will be done and ready for a new layout
Good news Had somebody that came out tonight and gave me a real good price to do the whole basement So im thinking it should be done in a week or less minus the ...LED lighting... ill worry about that down the road.
Installer Texted me today on starting work Today 2/25/19 after 5 pm So hopefully work will began This afternoon I thought he would start last week but he had a big job to finish first
Progress is being made Hade to install 2 headers above my 2 side rooms that my water softener is in and well tank and the other room was plumbed for a bathroom. 2 walls have 1860 barnwood on them so ill have to install the same on the headers so ill have the same thickness when he installs the outside dropped ceiling rail. Have to match what I have on the walls What a pain in the
Basement Ceiling is 95 Percent done Today. Ill have to do the LED lighting as putting the lighting cans in and wiring them up they will all be hooked up to a dimmer... then boxing in my 3 steel poles. Im going to do some carpet shopping next week. But WOW... night and Day in how it looks and feels nowHuge difference
Well the old 1860 Barnwood was taken down and replaced with Pacific Knotty Cedar Planking that I bought at Home depot I used this before and really like the look and easy to put up Ordered 2 doors yesterday the same as what I have upstairs for the future bathroom and the other for a storage room finished one of the walls yesterday so the goal today is wall in the other room
