I just saw your post. Due to the size and my design i have about $200-300 in the building materials and lighting. With everything to include the heat panel, herpstat II and other stuff. I have around $600 or so in the whole project. I don't know if that would be considered expensive or not but it is muti-use, looks good in the room, and has made maintaining my bp easier.

Very nice......AND helpful!!!
Thanks for sharing! I was looking at the expensive track systems that were going to cost more than the enclosure! I never thought about looking in the metal section!!
Leave it to a good ole Georgia boy!!!
Thanks again!!!

Re: My DIY bookcase/ enclosure Project
6 months now and my first upgrade/fix. I had some LED light wiring attached to the ceiling but my pb has played in them so i got some cable hider from lowes and installed it on the ceiling in the troubled area. let see how this works.
I had snake supervision duing the installation.

Thanks
It turned out to be not that hard to build. Size was the only issue since i had to movebit around myself. All together it is heavy but in sections it is not.

I used the valspar primer paint to paint this. I wanted to do some more coats to it but i was not able to. I ran my mouse sander with a fine grit over the melamine before painting.
