Charlie:
At those moments when you might get frustrated with this project, please know the following:
- You're doing a GREAT job.
- You're a much better carpenter than you're letting on.
- Your photos are VERY helpful to others who are building layouts.
Because I am at the benchwork-building stage myself, I am benefiting greatly just from what you've posted so far.
The major difference between us that I can see is that I didn't trust myself not to ding up the freshly painted walls while carrying around 2x4's and sheets of plywood/homasote. I decided to build out all the benchwork, take it back down, finish the paint, and then screw it all into place. I like your approach, however, because it gives you a nicer place to work.
All in all, a great job so far. Please keep us up to date.
