Today’s project was satisfying. There’s just no other way to describe it. It came together exactly as envisioned and looks even better. Can’t ask for more!<\/p>\n

I built the ‘tunnel’ for the furnace duct which doubles as a base for the bookcase. I knew I had the right idea in mind for materials when I discovered that I had exactly<\/em> the right amount of laminate flooring left, with no need to piece together scraps to get the right lengths. I was even able to put to use a mismatched piece (‘birch’ rather than ‘oak’; I just used it for the wall of the tunnel that’s against the wall of the RV and not visible). Thank goodness I had that piece, even if it was mismatched!<\/p>\n

I hope the bookcase is secure! I have four screws going into studs. I didn’t originally have to secure it since it was wedged in tightly between the bucket chairs:<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I will be building the ladder and then, trim not withstanding, the front room and major renos will be DONE. Unbelievable! There is still a ton of work to do, but I truly do think the worst is behind me. Famous last words… \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
