In Canada there's a few very large chains, I would be concerned if the individual owner/operator could operate like this under that structure. Small operation. Local.

Space isn't an issue really, only in the context of that comic room, but his room will have plenty more space in it. tv horror 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad -- didn't realize this was a permanent situation. Not sure where I got the idea that you were simply helping him out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wombat Posted August 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 Making some progress. My original thought was to have all custom built shelves on this wall. Putting that on hold for a bit. The wall to the right of this is going to have a work/sorting area. My home office is to the left of this wall. archiecomicscollector, Jayman, badback83 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Maybe I should put another row of the smaller shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there room beneath for a small bookshelf (possibly two rows tall) for you to put your floppies/tpb's or whatever's in those short/long boxes under the table?

The goal is to replace that folding table with a nice work table with enough room underneath to hide my short boxes. There definitely wouldn't be enough room for all of them. I'm trying to keep that wall clean to not detract from the slabs. I have tons of room so it should work for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangercow Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) No, it and the Gulf logo are vinyl decals I had printed. They look great even up close (and the Oilers logo has a Grant Feur light-switch cover!). Edited August 24, 2018 by Dangercow ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was moving some of the slabs around today and discovered something. They all seem to be "sticking" to the wall. There didn't seem to be any damage to the wall, but I'm not sure what would happen long term. There are definitely some rougher edges on the back top of all the slabs so I'm guessing just the pressure of them leaning against the wall is making them sink in a bit.
