Bookshelves and trim

So sorry I have been remiss in my postings of late! Just busy...

Yesterday I popped up to the house to meet up with Ariana and Keizo, who now have a van full of wood offcuts for the impending winter freeze. Here they are now!

The bookshelves up stairs are being made at present. All of the shelves, except for the major structural parts, will be adjustable, so as you can see in the picture below, Kaoru's shelves are all but done, they just need to add in the components for the adjustable shelves (metal strips down the inside of each shelf, then the wooden shelf fits into those).

The big floor to ceiling bookshelves in the free space are also being made. Again, the main structural part at least. Here they are, being made...

Chiselling precision!

This is 2.5cm thick composite pine (so it won't warp).

The bench for the upstairs sink is also on its way, and they have added a nice shelf in there too!

what's also underway is the wood trim that line the top of each wall and also the door frames. Here's the door frame from our room into the closet. The little bits of wood around it will be removed later.

The next stage is the plastering. Apparently this will take some time, because they go around and do every nail and screw first, then plaster the walls to make them flat. Then the wallpaper will go on.

Well, that's it for today! For me, the really exciting part is coming up, when all the good looking stuff will start going in. Shallow, I know!
