The Great Built-in Build of 2012

A guest post from Erik - yippee!!!

From the moment we saw the living room in our house, we both immediately thought "wow, built-in bookcases would look really nice around the fireplace."  As we got settled into the house and the projects started piling up we basically tabled the idea of such a large project so close to the Anders arrival and my busy work schedule. 

Built-ins would look nice, right?
But the more Landon and Anders' toys started piling up (spoiled rotten!), the more appealing the idea of some extra storage sounded.  So we figured what the heck? How hard could it be?

Using a combination of Google Sketchup and an assortment of books on cabinetry, I came up with the following design that was approved by The Boss.


The lumber has been purchased, the dimension have been checked and double checked and we are all set for construction to begin.  Hoping to make some good progress over the holiday weekend...that's if the boys cooperate!

Wish us luck!  Check back for updates!
