A surprising amount of work got done tonight.  Sanded the desk, and the wife put a second coat on it.  I put trim on a few more things.  I seem to keep finding things to put trim on but I am totally out of cut offs now so I think I am really done.  I even did the electrical box.  And once it was on, I realized it was out of square so I took it off and fixed it.

I installed the wash stand and chip box lid that the wife has been staining.  It looks amazing.  Much better than plain pine.  The wife was on fire and painted two of the doors as well.  I sort of just putzed around putting trim on this and that and wandering around.  I did manage to start cleaning stuff up, since I really almost done with construction.  Besides the cabinets but we need to start cleaning so we can clean the floor.

Feeling better about the cabinet doors at least hopefully I can order that material soon and start working on them once I pick up a few tools.

Here is the pictures from the last two days of construction.  We are basically done with the trim now.  I have a few small things to do.  Little details to trim yet but for the most part it is done.  That feels pretty nice.

One more coat of paint on the desk should finish that.  I think I might make some shelves for the desk but that will be in the future.  We need to give the floor a good cleaning.  Get the bathroom flooring in, and start working on the cabinet doors and drawers.  That is going to be the most technically difficult stage of the project.  Having never built drawers or cabinets before, I have a lot to learn.  I also have a lot of tools and jigs that need to be acquired and built.

Number one is a crosscut sled for the table saw.  I also need a dado setup and perhaps may have to make or buy a router table.  I need to decide which type of drawers and doors to make once that is finalized, I can start making some of this stuff.  Until then, we are going to clean, and probably start moving some stuff in.

Really making some progress now.  The space is defined and the details are pouring in.  I built this monster L-shaped desk tonight.  I had been researching and planning.  You all may remember my 3d model, well here it is in Real-D.  I tweaked a few things from the model to make it work with the stud locations in the wall but this desk is pretty amazing.  It is 8 feet on each side minus about 6 inches on one of the left side.

I am going to cut some cord holes, rout the edges and paint it now.  I am super excited to work on it now.  There is so much space, that I might even share about 2 feet of it with the wife.  Check out the instructable if you want to make your own.  The whole desk cost about $60.  And I am pretty sure I could stand on it.  Triangles are great for strength.

The window jambs got the first coat of paint.  I also built the nifty wash stand for the bathroom.  It will hold a bowl and pitcher.  You know, like old school.  I used the same design that I am going to use for my desk.  It was easy, super strong, and inexpensive.  I think it looks mighty nice.

I also put together a quick lid for the chip box out of some scrap left over from the windows.  Tomorrow I start working on my desk.  Should go pretty easy considering how easy it was building this little table.
