Digging the lighting fixtures. I think you won't have the same illumination problem I did back in my old room.

Well it's a good thing you have an extra case of ceiling tiles in case this sort of thing happened, right?? right???

I do have a lot of extra tiles. I'll probably just leave it like it is for a while though. Its not all that noticable and I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with the roof quite yet.

Drop ceiling tiles usually have a notch around the outside that fits in the metal tracks, and they're usually not finished on the back. Crab's could be different though.

After what seems like an eternity, Lucas (my shelving friend) and I got together after conflicting schedules over the last few weeks and started work on the shelving. We finalized the plans, did a lot of measuring and marking, cut a few boards and put up a solid frame to start with. Heres some pics of what we did so far:

The plan is to finish building and mounting the shelves on wednesday evening. After that I'll probably take a day or two to paint it and then I'll finally be able to start filling it!!

After having to postpone another 3 times we finally got together 2 days in a row to finish most of the work. We ran out of wood for the actual shelves and so did Home Depot, Home Hardware and Rona so we are temporarily stalled. Lucas figures he can get some ordered in so hopefully next week we can finish completely. For now we've got a large majority of it done though. I've just got to paint it now.

Slapped on some primer and a couple coats of paint. Just waiting for those damn boards to get in.
