The bomb shelter rack.

Designed a simple L rack to cater to my needs.

 

 

 

If I were to make it from aluminum profiles & laminated plywood it would probably cost around $300. I see there are standard boltless racks out there that looks pretty cheap(at least the flyers pasted at the lift looks cheap). Asking for quotes now to see if they can make it in the dimensions that I need. I wonder how much this configuration will cost?

 

 

Completed this by hacking 2 sets of ikea hejne. racks. It was quite flimsy, so I bought additional legs(cheap!) and braced the bottom, and 4 corners were "T"-braced for better rigidity.

 

 

i made a feature to allow the right bottom shelf swivel-able that if I have tall items that needed to be placed at the bottom the lowest shelf can lifted up for more headroom. Below pic shows the bottom right shelf lifted.

 

As the shelves were standard width I had to shorten them to make a 250mm clearance for tall objects like my ladder. So the right shelves were hacked with a jig saw.

Did a real quick and cheap mod to the bathroom box up that covers the piping.

took out the egg crate lighting diffuser and measured them. I can see the pipes thru it which I didn't like. However these diffuse lights better and allow more light thru then my mod.

 

paid a visit to Dama trading. Had free coffee while had them cut out in acrylic my egg crate dimensions and replaced them for master bathroom.

cant see the pipes now... 

Although the light is not as uniform as before but my bathroom looks way more sophisticated now...

25 out of 27 light points were from taobao. 

Only 1 had a bulb that was not working. I didn't even know it's suppose to come with one. I bought it for the housing design(see my storeroom light). 

Anyway it's a tungsten filament bulb. I switched out most to LEDs.

Oh....... that LEDs bulb did you bought in taobao too??

T5s, strips, recess spotlights and track lights from taobao. 

E14 and e27s I got from ikea as those that came with the light housing having these bases were mostly tungsten filament type which I replaced.

I still have 1 bulb I left as tungsten filament as that was a special shape(something like Edison bulbs) and was not able to get the same shape on LED form.

Yes they do, Look for Striberg led strips..

however I believe you will need a power point inside your wardrobe for it to connect to. So if you have not made your wardrobe you need to communicate this to your carpenter early so he can hide the wiring.

hi sir, for your toilet  acrylic, how much does it does?

[Changbp 5]

I purchased 1 sheet, inclusive of cutting to it into 6 different sizes for me is about $60.  

1 sheet is enough for 2 bathrooms.

Hi xiang38,

decide on the color first and then the choices left are not that many. Then you decide the light transmission level and whether non, 1, both 2 sides are textured.

I do not know which will produce the best effect, i went with PL449 just to try out. It Is gloss on both sides.

I think the outcome is acceptable for my master bath, but not for my common bathroom as too low light transmission.

I'm thinking of exploring the type with higher light transmission and single side textured as I believe that would give more even lighting.
