Thursday, August 12: Furniture Updates

Here are more updates on the furniture that I completed yesterday (Wednesday, August 11). The first is the hutch, which was already completed, but needed to be added to the smaller desk next to the computer desk. Since I could not lift the hutch onto the desk by myself, I was able to do that with Lori's help when she came yesterday. It may not mesh perfectly (probably because one desk has been there longer than the other), but it looks pretty good to me. More importantly, this now includes a cabinet of drawers in which I will be able to file a number of things, such as bills and/or receipts.

The second piece is a large filing cabinet on which another hutch will be built. I built the filing cabinet yesterday while Lori was here. I had started the hutch for this cabinet before but had to put it on hold when I realized that I needed the lower cabinet on which to put it.

What is left to do in terms of building furniture?
1. Finish hutch and put it on file cabinet.
2. Build two book shelves.
3. Build large desk for middle of room.

I am hoping to finish these pieces by the weekend. But more importantly, I need to make significant progress toward organizing the stuff that goes into my new office. (Any ideas?:-) Hopefully by next week, I can send photos of how the finished product looks!
