Well since I have alot of free time right now being off work for the next 4 months, I decided Im going to work on that case/stand I have been wanting to build for some time now.
See right now I have 4 big shelving units in my living room, all full of games, movies systems and everything then on each side of those 4 big ones I have 2 smaller ones with all my hand held system stuff. To be honest its a bit of a eye sore.
I got a buddy of mine (hes a carpenter for a home building center) to draw me up some plans based on some notes I gave him for a custom shelving unit I wanted to build.
Now that I have the plans, I just need the parts. I'll try and post a pic of my living room after I have finished building this thing. Although I'm really not sure how long its going to take me.
My wife is glad I'm finally getting rid of the nasty ones I have been using. (Basically 2x4's painted black...really nasty)
This new one will be her fav type of wood coloring. Lacquered Dark Cherry wood. Should look very nice.
Although I'm worried about not only how long its going to take me to build this thing, but also how it will fit in the living room.
It will measure 12' wide by 8' high, 3' deep. So as you can imagine its a BIG unit. But it will have enough space to hold all my game systems, games and movies.
The hardest part was figuring out how to have this thing work as a shelving unit, while still acting as a entertainment unit.
The TV I got my wife for our 5th anniversary (big 72" pain in the ass) will even fit right in the middle of this beast. So she will be happy I wont have to rearrange the living room. (She is stubborn and likes a tidy/orderly space) If somethings "not quite right" I have to move it for her until its "found its home"
Anyways Home Depot closes in in like 45 min so I better get crackin. Im just going to pick everything up tonight and get everything sorted. I'll start on it all tomorrow.
Wish me luck
