READING ROOM - DAY SEVENTEEN

KEN PUT UP ALL THE SHEETROCK, AND ON DAYS EIGHTEEN, NINETEEN AND TWENTY, I CONSTRUCTED THE 'SKELETON' FOR THE BUILT-IN BOOKSHELVES.


THESE SHELVES ATE 50 2X4s. FIFTY! I CALCULATED IT BEFORE I STARTED, BUT COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WOULD TAKE THAT MUCH MATERIAL...


THE SHELVES ARE ABOUT 8 FEET LONG, WITHOUT A MID-SPAN SUPPORT, SO THEY HAD TO BE A LITTLE OVER-BUILT.


ALONG THE BACK WALL, THE TWO SHELVES CREATE AN ALCOVE FOR THE BUILT-IN DESK.
