If you're challeneged for space it's the way to go, but you seem to have lots of space. Full on frontal views show off the pretty instruments better. | ||

I wasn't quite sure how to do 18' boards, but I propped up one end with the paint roller extension rod, then went to the other end and tacked it at the mark, then put my level in the middle, and tacked up the other end, then put the nails in at the studs every 16". Maybe not the best way to do it, but it got the job done!  I have also decided that I like the old electric circular saw better than the heavier battery powered one... my saw cuts are not the best - but I watched a video today about using your speed square to ensure straight cuts, and that a thinner blade makes smoother cuts. I am only about 30 years behind everyone else on learning this, but boy howdy do I like the power tools, I am getting quite a nice collection of nice DeWalts! Edited by Nancy 2015-07-29 7:45 PM | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | THANK You Professor!!!!! Do I need a Special Bit then to install them, or use a regular PH2? I will definitely get the Spax screws!! I would feel better with screws to hold it up than the nails, I sure don't want one of those support boards coming down holding all those vintage Ovations!! And you are right, I have plans for down the line in better lighting, comfy couch and chair, and a good size wall mounted tv so I can watch Videos and play along with too!! Lots of ideas to tweak it already!! You guys are the BEST!!! Thank You so much!!!!! . | ||

Yes, let's move on to comfy chairs and entertainment systems. I have a couple Ekornes chairs w/ ottoman. The arms ar very low, no impeding play...
For the TV, there's an 80" screen and HD Projector in "The Cavern" with a 200w per channel surround system. If you wanna go all out, you buy drums and bass amps and stuff like that so you can get your friends to come over and play on the weekends. Jam scheduled for Saturday, anyone near is invited. | ||

It turned out Beautifully! I have the String Swings, and just need to get them spaced and hung, then the Guitars can come out of their cases, and I can see them all everyday!!! I'll put up some pics, the stuff crammed all over my Family Room is the stuff my Brother was just storing for a month.... It is not perfect, but I am kind of proud of it, I measured, cut and hung all the cedar boards by myself, and the guitars will keep anyone from looking at my saw cuts too closely! . I suck at screwing things into walls so I switched to nails, like I said, not perfect, but at least I didn't give up!! Very, Very, Very nice indeed! Well done Nan! | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Damon, that chair is Fantastic!!! Thank You Banjo!! This really is a wonderful learning experience, and I still have all 10 fingers, with no holes in them (yet!), so things are looking up! Mark - can you please tell me what spacing you used on your String Swing - Center to Center? Thank You!!! I am lucky too, I have a rocker/recliner down there, and there is a full bathroom and spare bedroom. My Tool room will be perfect for storing the cases (I am thinking of getting those nice shelving units to put them in. Then the only thing I will need to get is a small dorm fridge for my Mt Dew! I want to do a wall mounted TV for watching YouTube for lessons, and play along. And there is a wonderful fireplace down there for during the winter months. Edited by Nancy 2015-07-31 4:20 PM | ||
