131301 - Paul delivered the new shelf, drilled holes and set brackets on the
131302 - mid-panel side, planned in the meeting on 120201 1644. ref SDS 15 R55K
131303 - Shelf looks good - level and professional fit, neither too loose, nor
131304 - too tight to remove when needed.
131306 - ..
131307 - There was an initial problem getting the shelf level, caused by poor
131308 - lighting that prevented seeing marks for fastening shelf brackes on
131309 - the mid-panel. This was redone, and then was correct.
131311 - ..
131312 - The additional shelf provides an effective visual break that masks
131313 - slight differences in finsihing the back panel, reported on 120201
131314 - 1644. ref SDS 15 R55K
131316 - ..
131317 - Paul brought wood putty and filled the two holes in the ceiling,
131318 - caused originally by removing a 14" portion of the mid-panel to make
131319 - room for the large screen television, reported on 120120 1005.
131320 - ref SDS 9 P55G At that time on 120120, these holes were covered with
131321 - a thin strip. ref SDS 9 NB6K However, this strip had to be removed to
131322 - fit the new 42" television into the armoire opening, reported on
131323 - 120206 0845. ref SDS 16 U65H
131325 - ..
131326 - Paul used a hammer to drive a few nail/tacks flush with the ceiling,
131327 - to provide a smoother surface.
131329 - ..
131330 - Paul explained the putty could fall out of the holes when it drys and
131331 - shrinks a bit. He left a small can of the putty to make further
131332 - repairs as necessary. He added paint thinner to the putty to prevent
131333 - it from drying out in the can when it may be needed.
131335 - ..
131336 - Paul brought 1500 grit sandpaper and used it to sand down the surface
131337 - of the shelf, which he recommended for getting a smoother finish,
131338 - reported in the meeting on 120201 1644. ref SDS 15 3R57
131340 - ..
131341 - Paul noticed the front edge of the new shelf has areas with roughness,
131342 - particularly along the front edge. He got some 400 grit sandpaper
131343 - from his truck and sanded these areas to create a smoother surface
131344 - that more closely matches high quality surfaces in the original
131345 - armoire.
131347 - ..
131348 - Paul used the putty to fill the 3 screw insets on the left side, and
131349 - the 2 in the mid-panel location. He also filled the 3 small nail
131350 - insets on the vertical cover strip on the mid-panel.
