It took me a while to get back to it due to shipping delays, a funeral, a work trip, and needing to protest, but I had some time today to get more done on the library.
First I installed the next cabinet and cut a hole for the outlet so we didn't lose it.
Next up was getting the rest of the cabinets up and the previously assembled frames in place. One everything was lined up, the cabinets were screwed into the frame.
Here's the Ethernet coming out of the right side. I'll do a drywall install after the rest is done.
Next up is pulling the upper trim down, assembling the upper upright frames, assembling and installing the upper cabinets, and then drywall, trim, caulking, and paint. I'm going to try and get the upper level done tomorrow as I'll have several helpers to make it go faster. I'm currently messaging the local specialty suppliers to try and match the 130 year old door casings in the rest of the house.
Edit: Well damn, image uploading seems to be busted at the moment. I'll make a new post when it works again.
Edit x2: Apparently I can post photos from my phone but not my computer?!?
That came out so nicely. Well done!
Thanks! I'm really pleased with it so far. I know there is a lot of work still, particularly the finishing touches, but it makes the room already feel so much better.
Yea, it does look like it's taking shape anyway. Are you planing to hold only books in that thing or something else as well?
Mostly book, but also some plants since this room has amazing light. Also, the bottom left is my networking closet which will have a door on it. The bottom right will have a door for symmetry and probably hold games. The not yet installed top level will have some art and things.
Sounds quite awesome. Good luck with it!
