OK, here we go.

Post number 3, first picture (or top left). The two walls either side of the printer (left and right of the printer that extend from the floor to the ceiling).

1) What type of wood is that?
2) What thickness is it?
3) Did you laminate two pieces of 1/4" together to have two finished sides?

Inquiring minds need to know.

OK, I found part of the answer in the Desk thread. You used 1/2 birch with maple edging. Was the birch finished on both sides?

In all my excitement to get the cabinets re-installed, I forgot one major requirement--I didn't replace the foam seals around the fridge. This may not seem like a big deal, but even though the partions around the fridge are tightly fit, the amount of air that can leak around the edges is pretty significant. You don't really notice this in hot weather, but when it's 5 degrees outside, the cold air flows in and freezes your feet.

Not to mention the hazard of CO.

I've been dreading having to take everything apart to do this, but it turned out only to take about four hours. The arrow points to the original plywood backing that the orginal partions were screwed to. I had to removed the front 3" in order to allow for a continuous band of foam strip to go around the fridge. I couldn't find any low density 1" foam, so I cut the strip only 1" wide (the original foam was about 2.5" wide) to reduce the compressive force needed to get the partitions back in place.



This was the last item on my priority 1 list of things to do. Now to get on with priorities 2,3,4, and 5.
