I Feel Good!
Like the wonderful old James Brown song goes, "I feel good" today! After putting the final coat of paint on the inside of the window seat yesterday, this afternoon I attached the two fixed top left and right pieces, then screwed in the other side of the hinge. The top lifts up and down--like it's supposed to! It's LEVEL!! And it feels sturdy! And you can STILL reach your hand and arm behind the seat (when the top is up) to plug and unplug cords from the electrical outlet. Ta-da!!!
I'm taking a well-deserved 30-minute break now before going back to work to trim my shims (what a rhyme!) and relevel and install the left desk cabinet (which had to be moved until the window seat was installed and painted).
Next phase of the project (you thought it was finished, didn't you?!) is cutting and installing some exterior trim for the seat area. Even though the top will be covered by a thick cushion, I want to fill the gaps between the seat top and the desk cabinet sides. I also need to install a toe kick in the front.
After that, it's paint the window trim white to match the seat/desks/hutch units, then on to build the final hutch section. Maybe by Christmas???? Let's be optimistic!
