What's my one rule?

Create a plan... and then redo it from scratch (to see if your mind works it the same way twice). Then do a third plan where you put the best of both plans together.  Then do the math of the plan on an excel spreadsheet.

Plan... and plan... and plan...  So something like this doesn't happen.




I mean, c'mon!  Argh.  If you can't read what's written on there.... the top piece on the straight shelves is above the side pieces.  And on the corner unit, I put it between the side pieces.

Now, this isn't a HUGE deal, as I'm planning to put trim on the top anyways to make them look more like one big unit, but it's just such a stinker.

Lesson learned.  I hope.  Plan... plan... plan again!

Good thing I love to plan :)

  2. I was wondering if you still had the plans for this bookshelf?

    1. Hi Matt - thanks for your interest! If you select "music room" from the "labels/tags" area in the right column of this webpage, there's a post in there called "if you build it" where I attached my doodle. Be sure you keep in mind that the doodle was before I made the oops mentioned in this post. Happy Building!
