I've about finished the "reading room" book shelves. See Terry! I can do something in less than 2 years. :D
The "reading room" is used about once a morning for taking a shower. No, it isn't out in the rain. It is a small room with a ventilator which runs during showers. Not rain, but forced water type. Oh, just ask Doc Zack. He will gladly elaborate. :D
The shelves are SPF. The tongue and groove boards for the back are 5" wide each. I allowed 1/8" clearance for expansion per board. Everything is cut. THEN I ran pine through the Wood Movement Calculator. Ugh! Going from 25% present shop humidity to 95% potential bath humidity shows a 5" board to move over a 1/4"!
I think I'm OK as the shower runs for only a few minutes a day and finish (probably flat varnish over shellac) should slow the movement way down. Also the ventilator should draw off much of the moisture. Did I goof?
Nothing is glued yet, but I'm ready.
David, who still needs to learn to "measure" *everything* twice before cutting
