What started in Jozi was halted by our move to CT, but now I would like to think this layout/setup will serve me well for the next few years.
We finally committed to renovate our study, I won the tender and was put to work on my first day of leave. This afternoon I finished up the job, there are some snags, but on the whole we are happy with the results.
I built/removed/painted/cleaned/moved everything in the past two weeks, the only contractors used was for tiling (laying not removal) and rubble removal (doing this from the 3rd level of an apartment block solo would have killed me).
Here is some before pics, this basically a mix and match of what was here when we arrived and what we had before.
The final result;
There drawer is for when I need a keyboard and mouse setup. When you close the drawer, it allows more space for "Race mode". The numpad is there for additional vehicle controls, headlights etc. I will make up a stand for it in Jan, at my office we have a nice tool for bending plastics which I will use.
I am super chuffed and the SO also has a way better space to study and work from.
I actually wanted to build a race seat setup but was unsure if the ergo's would work & the aesthetics of the space is also important to me. I have a Mazda Mx5 NB driver seat which I might used for a seat setup later on.
For now my cheap office chair will do the job
