During the month of December and January, we completely rebuilt the apartment. This means that we tore out all walls, floors and electricity and then rebuilt everything. Since early February, we have been moving in, and custom-building bookshelves among other things. The living room is now done. Everything in oak was built by me.

Sandblasting and powder coating! They say that powers coating really needs clean metal, so I decider to sandblast all pieces. Now they all have this beautiful ghostly white color with a subtle glitter. Really beautiful. Before pulling all of the pieces at risk, I decided to do a test coating on a throw-away piece. Not much to say. I hung it from the trolley, grounded the powder gun and sprayed. Except for the area closest to where it hung from the wire, the powder covered the piece with perfect smoothness.

So we are rebuilding our apartment from scratch (New walls, floors, ceiling and kitchen) and as a part of that, the kids are getting their own rooms. In their own rooms, they will get raised beds that are attached to the walls in three corners. The fourth corner has to either stand on a post on the floor, or hang from the ceiling. Naturally, I want to make a ceiling mount to keep the floor clear.
