Just about have the remodel done and and a lady asked me to come up and build some bookshelves for her library/computer room. Last time I talked to her it was going to be a couple of built ins and now she wants shelve on all four wall, floor to ceiling (108"), shelves over and under the window and all in cherry did I say! It is just about 50 feet of shelves she wants.
I priced just the cherry ply today..... 150 bucks a sheet here. I'm going to get prices on pre-finished stuff too and see if it is worth the labor savings and my sanity as I hate finishing! One point she made that made me feel better is she doesn't want any fancy moldings or trim, just wants it basic and simple. Simple works well with my mind (pun intended) She did mention a rolling library ladder, do they make them to go around corners or do you install one for each wall?
I'll post more as this project gets further along. I'll be asking a lot of questions as I'm a bit overwhelmed with the size of the task ahead.
