Locker Room

[Travis]

This thread contains before and after shots of a locker room that I designed and built for a customer. I used waynes coating on the walls to match the backs of the lockers. The room was an odd shape so I designed 4 locker stations that wrap around the room with a bench/chest. Plenty of room under the benches for shoes. Installed 22 hooks in this room so they can hang coats, book bags and athletic gear for their two sons. I used the Fuji Q4 sprayer with Sherwin Williams latex enamel which gave a super smooth finish. The home owner is really please although I would do many things different a second time around.

Travis,

Nice clean lines and a great execution. Love the beadboard. Did you have to put in the flooring also?

Thanks everyone. No I did not do the tile work. It was actually a rushed job by the homeowner. You can probably tell by the grout smeared all over the tiles. They had also left out full tiles against the back wall. After I had it in they decided they wanted bottoms. Had to pull it out take it back to the shop and build and paint again. :BangHead:

Notice the air return, it was behind the sheet rock so I had to build new lockers on that side. :BangHead: :BangHead:

To make matters worse, I put up the waynes coating to paint later but their painter came in and did a hack job (they fired him). I ended up tearing out half of the waynes coating and doing it again becasue of the runs in the groves and trash in the finish. It was bad, the guy had to be smoking crack. I just could not let it stand like it was.:BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:


But I had a lot of fun doing it.

Now I hve moved on to my next project building chest of drawers for wife. It is really cool design and I will post up pictures soon.

I see nothing wrong with it, but I am curious, what would you do different? You have to share, how else would we learn other than the hardway?

Fair question Travis.

1. To save money I used T1 paneling from HomeDepot. It took a lot of sanding and crack filling and selecting where to cut. Would have bought higher quality paneling like they have Catawaba hardwoods.

2. I would have cut the benches out of two pieces of plywood and made sure that the 45 degree corner was in one of those cuts. I spent along time on that corne.

3. I would have banded with 1/2" hardwood instead of 3" banding on the benches. I learned that it easier and looks better.

4. I assembled everything and took apart and painted flat and reassembled. I would sand everything, assemble all except the backs and paint then install backs. Huge time savings.
