Room Preparation 2

Constructing the one interior wall separating the utility room (Zone 1) from the remainder of the railroad room was completed quickly. An 8' stud wall was constructed and 4 sheets of drywall were installed and taped, joint compound applied and sanded. Two coats of paint was applied.

The Dispatcher's desk and book cabinet installed on the layout side. The open space on the left of the Dispatcher's desk will be the helix location.

The workbench and the supply shelves are located on the other side. A microwave will be located on a shelf over the left side of the laundry set tub. The dehumidifier will be relocated below and to the right of the workbench.  

About half of the foundation about the sill has been insulated with 1/2 inch styrofoam and R19 fiberglass insulation.

I constructed a tool caddy to hold all the construction tools and nuts, bolts, screws, etc.,  necessary for room preparation. It includes a fan for ventilation and cooling.

Under the stairs is an open space that will contain the heavy tools and supply storage. Right now its a junk storage location.
