The last big job in the living room

There are many things in life that seem to end up on the "man wish list". Things like a really cool beer fridge and a proper man shed with shelves to put all the man toys. In this case it was a place to properly hold all his DVDs and the tv to allow for maximum enjoyment of the time between jobs on the house. Here is the job now from start to finish...apologies for any repetition of pictures.

The initial frame goes in

 Now we have a top half

 Some nice trim and a start on the paint job

 All nicely painted just waiting on the shelves

 Finished a ready for a Lord of the Rings marathon

Storage begins to appear

So now that most of the big stuff is done we're starting to work on putting together all of our storage. Believe me it's needed!! Only problem is with a house as old as ours you have to build everything bespoke (think no square corners) and it takes twice as long. Here are some photos of the shelving going into the living room. Can't wait till they are finished!!!

Stage 1

 Stage 2

Almost finished!! Now for some shelves

The Kitchen Shelves

I forgot to take some partially done pictures of the new shelves we're putting up in the kitchen, but here are some shots of them 85% done. We've got adjustable bookcase strips for part of it so we can move the shelves around to accommodate our rapidly growing book collection. The only part we need to put on are the architrave that will go on the vertical and horizontal edge to add a decorative touch and hide all the structural work. Can't believe this only took two weeks!
