Home Office Done!

Brian Bilbrey

 

Here's the picture I envisioned for the office, back in October, when I was in the home-stretch on the degree warpath:

I started working on the project in mid-December, apparently moments after I was done with the final paper of the last course I took. In early February, I installed the first shelving unit. Today I installed the final piece - the back counter, which is fabricated from 3/4 cherry ply and banded with hard maple (thus complementing the desk in the center of the room).

I've built every piece of furniture in my office, discounting the Aeron chair ... I'm pretty damn proud of it, too. No one piece is perfect - they all have flaws, but they're mine. Huzzah.

Sadly, this apparently means that I now have to start working on Marcia's list of things to be done...
