Building Summary: Today, I used the boards I cut yesterday to build a frame. This frame will lift the toilet and sink area above the currently protruding drain pipes.
Commentary: Not every post has to be of philosophical nature. As a matter of fact, much of the Walden philosophy is about appreciating the world as it is – not as it supposedly should or could be. So, for today’s highlight, I’m going to share an image.
How many clamps are being used here? Five would be the answer to that question. Why? Well, the boards I chose for this frame were not of the utmost quality (they are scrap boards after all), so when I was fastening the last corner of the sub-toilet/sink frame, I was contending with quite a lot of warp. Fortunately, with clamps, I was able to wrestle the wood into place. There’s still some bend to the 65″ board on the back side, but that’ll be corrected when I fasten it down to the bathroom’s base frame.
On that note, I suppose I already have tomorrow’s work cut out for me.
