Planning... (we're getting closer)

Funny how some people can start whacking away at planning something and just... start. These are people I envy, for they're not pulling up Excel AGAIN to compare something, or digging the house apart a half hour to find a CAD mat to draw a layout. (Not that *I* did that, of course.)

Today I took more measurements of my area of the basement and drew my plans. Mostly, I was drawing and cutting out scale shapes of the table and shelf to see if they'd play well in the space. Most normal people probably would spend their afternoon actually BUILDING the table rather than cutting  paper shapes, but normal is overrated, right? Honestly, we really are just talking about a table and shelf. I'm trying to find a secret hidey-hole for scrap glass storage, but I recognize I have a long time to figure that out. I just plan some things until they beg for mercy.

So tomorrow is the day our friend Randy is coming over and will help Saul put the tabletop on my cabinets, and I'll start "moving in." I'm REALLY excited and will post the progress once there's something to see.

Is this drawing overkill? Maybe, but I wanted to show Saul what I
had in mind. I also wanted to see if I would be happy with less
than 8' in length since I don't have a separate grinding area. As
you can see, 8' won since it will fit.
