When I started doing projects, I knew that I would have to do some spray-painting eventually. There was just one major problem… I didn’t have anywhere that I could spray paint. Here’s what I did last year to change that.

I had wanted to start building my vertical storage extension, but the leftover pre-laminated OSB panels I had were no good for this project as I didn’t have the ability to saw them into the right sizes on my own, and many would’ve been too small to begin with, so after I finished drawing up my plans, I made another panel cut layout image so I’d know for sure what I’d need — then bought everything I’d need to get started with the building process.

Everything I’d initially designed, I’d finally built. And all was, well… not perfect. My storage was great for large materials, but I had a lot of small tools and materials that I needed to store, and I wanted to come up with a better solution for that.

I wanted to work on my main desk, but I did something else instead. I was still happy with my corner ‘box’ idea, but the walls in this room are viscious. I already made myself bleed several times just applying the pipe insulation. I couldn’t just put materials in that box and have them lean against that wall. It might damage my materials. I figured it would be better to solve that issue first.

For my main desk, I was pretty sure I couldn’t get a long-enough furniture panel upstairs, so I had it cut in half and planned to glue the two pieces back together once they were in the room. Here’s a free piece of advice to everyone else: don’t do that.

One of the issues I had to solve in this room was the corner where desk and storage would meet. Even in the planning phase, I struggled with this. I eventually came up with something that I was happy with, though. Read more “How we got here (April 2018, part 1)”
How we got here
Plans made, power issue solved, pre-laminated OSB nearby, it was time to start prepping for and then building the first part of the hobby room: the storage area.
