Workshop Done
My husband, John Plocher, has almost finished rebuilding the formerly-termite-infested walls and roof of our garage-turned-model-train-room-and-workshop. You can see his progress in my blog posts:
- John versus the termites (6 May 2009)
- Cupola Update (14 May 2009)
- Roofing the Workshop and Cupola (3 June 2009)
Since 3 June, the newly restored space has been sheet rocked and painted. John has redistributed the tools, cabinets, and stuff which had been jammed into the train room. Now, most of the model train stuff is in one room and most of the tools are in the other; both rooms are clean and usable. This project has required an unreasonable amount of work but John now has his space mostly as he wants it. We even have room for family storage!
The cupola was worth the extra effort. As we hoped, it defines, lights, and cools the space. Here is the progress of our unusual architectural feature:
Early May: cupola hole
|
Mid-May: framed cupola, windows
|
Early June: roofed cupola
|
Early July: sheet rocked
|
Mid-July: siding finished
|
Late July: paint
|
Late July: fan in
