Loft Staircase 2
Last time I made decent progress on a staircase to reach the lofts built in our shed. There are also livestreams showing the building of the loft, among other woodworking projects. Continuing where I left off on the stairs, I'll use standard kiln-dried 2x6s and 2x4s to complete the construction. The vision is to install a heavy pipe on the edge of the loft where the staircase can slide back and forth to provide access to either side of the loft. Installing the pipe and hardware might have to wait, as I'm about to take a break from streaming.

Take a Peak 75
After the first hike that I livestreamed I did another quick one nearby. There wasn't enough time to set up a livestream for this one, plus the signal in the area kinda sucked. I recorded the hike with my cell phone and gimbal instead. It's not the usual 360 video format.

I was about to work on the staircase again when I walked outside to realize, "It's super nice out here!" So I skipped that and suited up for a hike instead. No idea where I'm going, but I can't resist the chance to get outside. It might be smoky from various wildfires blowing in from across the state, so the views might be crystal clear like earlier in the season.

Loft Staircase
There needs to be a way to get up to the loft. My earlier concept designs involved a complicated folding staircase incorporated into the Rolling Shelf Wall I recently built. I have ruled that out for various reasons. Today I'll start building the stairs in a fairly simple manner, though I might build one hinge into them. I hope to buy a heavy duty pipe to hook the stairs to so they can move side-to-side. If I can figure out where to put them, I might also eventually install wheels at the bottom so it can slide easily. I don't know if these should be called stairs or a ladder. Sorta halfway in-between.

Rolling Shelf Wall #10
Only two small doors to build to finish the front side of this shelf. I should be able to finish those, since I bought some cedar planks for it. If I have enough planks and time left, I might make a hatch for the opposite side of the wall. This rolling shelf wall separates quadrants of my shop and storage space, providing valuable storage space for tools and parts. It is on heavy duty casters to allow it to move out of the way or expand a desired space when needed.

Rolling Shelf Wall #9
Can I finish all the front cabinet doors today? Maybe not, but I'll do as many as I can.This rolling shelf wall separates quadrants of my shop and storage space, providing valuable storage space for tools and parts. It is on heavy duty casters to allow it to move out of the way or expand a desired space when needed.

Yesterday I installed two of ten total doors on the rolling shelf wall. Lets see if I can beat that daily achievement today. In reality, there might be more than ten total doors eventually, but ten on the front side.

Rolling Shelf Wall #7
Now that all the casters are installed (yesterday was a struggle with the last two) I'll work on cabinet doors for the one side. Some will be sideways, others will lift up. This will fulfill the wall aspect of the project so that it visually separates spaces. Not sure how much of that I'll finish today, but I'll get a start on it. Most of the parts and materials I'll be using for this portion of the project are cheap and repurposed to save money. Hopefully I didn't forget some key parts.

Rolling Shelf Wall #6
Though the shelf is fully functional, and I could stop here, there is more I'd like to do. First of all, I bought more casters so there could be a total of six, with two supporting the weight in the center. Next I'd like to construct something like cabinet doors that open on one side. This will fulfill the wall aspect of the project so that it visually separates spaces. Not sure how much of that I'll finish today, but I'll get a start on it. I changed the series name from Movable Shelf Wall to Rolling Shelf Wall. It just sounds better.

A Mountaintop Experience
This is a favorite hike of mine. It's probably the most scenic place I have ever been. It's a long drive to get there, so I got up ridiculously early to get there and still have time to complete the hike. I have done no preparation or training hikes this year, so I'll be taking it very slow. If I'm unable to make it to the top, hopefully I can at least make it high enough to see some beautiful scenery. If there is a signal somewhere on the route, I'll share the experience with anyone who drops by.

Lofty Ambitions 6
The loft is virtually done. All I need to do today is screw in place the previously cut and positioned OSB sheets. Maybe a short stream for once. Or maybe I'll make it longer by cutting supporting 2x4 blocking for areas that could use reinforcement from below.

Last week my parents helped me buy and transport the OSB plywood needed to complete the loft in the shed. Today I'll attempt to endure the crazy hot weather to cut and install the plywood sheets as well as blocking to straighten and reinforce the joists.

Movable Shelf Wall #5
All the full-width shelves are now installed. The casters are adequate too, though I will eventually add another pair to support the center. Today I'll work on the final level which is composed of two platforms, with a header rail going all the way across. The primary structure should be finished today. Later I'll add things like hinged doors to make it a legit wall to separate indoor spaces. This is a shelf and wall that roll along the floor of our shed. The design was created in 3D using Blender to help me visualize the dimensions and board cuts. I'll have to assemble the wall inside the shed because it will be too big to pass through the door.
