I used the nail gun to secure the shelf sides into place.

thes sides not only act as support, but also will help make sure the wall units don't collapse onto fans at the show :P

Marc the ever so perfectionist is seen here sanding the shelves.

Of course it helps when you have the proper equipment :) Bob Vila would be proud.

All the pieces in place stacked against the garage wall waiting to be tested.

Finally all the shelves are done. Would you believe it took us 5 hours just to do this?

Now for the dress rehearsal. We didn't just want to arrive in indianapolis to find out nothing fit together. So we started attaching one side of the wall unit.

Here Lucie and holds the shelf while Marc secures them to the units with screws.

I am the one with the camera drinking a Pepsi Cola :)

It works !!!

Looks great and sturdy. I love it but was NO WAY prepared for the amount of hours it took to make this.

Next time, if there is one, I am going the low profile route :)

My God it's sunday and we are leaving tuesday, I am FREAKING OUT right now.

We still have to build the blast door. Here is the ceiling top piece of the blastdoor.

Now Marc's hand, Me and Elie are sandwiching the end pieces that will form the blastdoor entrance.

notice the white glue that will bond all in place. I have to thank Marc A LOT for thinking up the idea on how to connect these pieces to the wall units.

Clamping tight for a couple of hours will guarantee nothing will split apart at the seems.

Final dress rehearsal at 7 pm. the door works and looks Fantastic.

Now if only I could rest a little before the show. HA HA HA, nice try Frank :P
