Well so far I have 2 coats of stain on the cabinet and doors, but I don't think the guy at Bunnings mixed it correctly as the colour is no where near as dark as it should be by now. So will have to revisit that on the weekend.



Power dis units are mock mounted for now and have 2 sockets in place

And sump/equipment end is ready to seal.

Waiting on push to lock door catches to arrive then it's almost ready to move inside

(Pics to come once they decide to upload. )

Looking good mate !
exciting times ahead . Those power boards from K&J look fantastic!
Great idea , looks like they make it easier to hide the mess of cables.

Yeah labels to come once I start wiring them in.

It's a cabots stain and varnish (oil based), gloss finish as I like shiny things.
But it's meant to be australian jarrah, Bunnings had none but happily mixed it.
Think I'll lay mahogany over it.
