… making the shelving unit for the cupboard at the back of the stairs.
And after all this time too, but it’s made-to-measure and each of the shelves had to be cut and fitted individually. Anyway, there it is.
It’s not actually quite finished though – it needs varnishing and it will have the first coat of that tomorrow morning.
The shelving unit is actually a huge beast and weighs a tonne – I never expected it to turn out anything like this.
You’ll also notice that there’s a shelf missing. The original plans called for 7 shelves, which is how many 400mm pine planks that I had, but Brain of Britain seems to have managed to forget his original plans and has made it to take 8.
But never mind. I’m bound be in Montlucon sometime and I can pick one up then from Brico Depot.
That’s where it’s going to go – in the alcove there that will be the stair cupboard in the empty space at the back of the stairs that I built in the winter of 2009-2010.
That’s an ideal place to make a little cupboard – after all, I can’t think of what else to do with the space.
And I won’t know myself when this is installed in there and full of all of the stuff that’s lying about all over the place and that’s the whole point of making it.
And so apart from that and the usual stuff on the computer, that’s about that.
But I did have a phone call from Nada who has resurfaced in the area after all this time, and also a long chat with Rosemary. She’s going out on a date tomorrow night – it’s alright for some, isn’t it?
Anyway, my bed beckons. I feel like an early night.
