2007 Shack Remodel

The saga continues...

But first a word from our sponsors.

(Loud announcer voice is up to you) Does your shack look like this??  

Are your wires out of control? 

With the un-patented K1TTT Wire Management System you can go from that to this in only days!

And you can get your worst out of control wiring back under control and looking like it was actually designed to be this way!  Just look at the results!!

And for only $9.95 we will not only give you 10 magic wire organizers, but we'll throw in a box of special wall attachment screws at no extra charge!  Pay only $99.95 shipping and handling and we'll supply you with a free life time supply of Super Flex cable labeling tape at no extra charge!

Argh, enough of that.  I hate those commercials.  It is amazing though what you can do with a few slices of ABS drain pipe and some sheetrock screws.  Add a bit of big wire moulding and it should look even better in another week or so.  Almost time for the new drop ceiling and then carpet.

A contest in the middle of all this... Of course!  NEQP, and we had to defend our perfect winning streak in the M/S class.  Envision this... Friday the drop ceiling material arrive and construction begins.  By Saturday afternoon the installation of wire ducts and drop celing transformed the above to this:


And this:

The contest kind of looked like this... through a camera with an almost dead battery:

Monday... Carpet panels arrive and installation begins.  By Wednesday the room is starting to look like this:

And this:

Almost time to start moving back in.

Another day of putting furniture back together, reconnecting cables, and lots of vacuuming, and it looks like a radio shack again... now for some new tables???

 

On to Part-3?... (later)
