I made some progress on the section house in March. I decided to start by building a wall roughly in the middle of the room to hang the benchwork from. Matt Latham came over to help.
With the wall up, I was able to play around with deck height again. This has the decks at
45 and 64.5 inches with the valence at 83 inches.
With a rough idea of where the decks will be, I got some 1/4" sheetrock and covered the wall at the top.
The last bit of progress was to start adding valence brackets under the sheetrock.
