Basement Office

Steps

• Clean Basement
• Finish Basement
• Electronics Bench
• Ultimate Workstation V2

Areas/Requirements

• Exercise
• Desk (electronics/office)
• Computer (sitting/walking)
• tv area
• storage
• bookshelf

The space should be usable for social gatherings. Especially game night.

Exercise

The designated area needs to be just large enough to hold the equipment in storage. Need to test this by folding up the rowing machine and bench. Get dimensions.

I need a storage solution for the plates. I should think about how to make setup faster.

Desk

This will be a many-in-one. The desk itself will be built as a hand tool work bench. The spot where it's parked against the wall will have storage for electronics. I can use it as either an electronics bench or small wood project bench in place. By pulling it more to the center of the room I can do larger wood projects.

See Electronics Bench.

This is primarily for electronics, but I also want to be able to do paper work here.

Computer Gantry

The monitors are about 4' across. This will be Ultimate Workstation V2.

Two beams run almost the 22' length. A perpendicular beam runs along them. The computer support slides along this. The vertical support should not interfere with my legs in the chair. The gantries need to lock, but their movement will be manually (at least initially). I'll also add a swivel to the top, which also needs a lock. The computer height and angle will still be motor controlled.

This setup allows me to move the computer to the treadmill, chair or over by the workbench.

I need a way to run power.

TV Area

TV will go back up. 2 chairs and a small table. Since this will be kind of in the middle of the room, I want to be able to move them out of the way easily. This can open up room for exercise.

Storage

• Closet area, may make more sense to rotate this as depth isn't an issue
• knex/lego: I'd like better division for knex

Office supplies

• envelopes/stamps/checkbooks
• writing: one type of pen, one bulk pencil, eraser, sharpie, white out
• notebooks
• binders
• paper
  • LL lined
  • LL graph
  • LL half page
  • note cards
  • post its
• 3 hole punch
• stapler/staples
• batteries

I like the sterlite bins I've been using, I'd like to make a rack to hold these.

I want a temperature controlled cabinet for wine. Should hold 2 or 3 batches.

Bookshelf

12x90

I should reoranize this in my office. It can be used for some storage.
