Interesting ideas Chief.
Yeah they're screwed together; if I'd used nails I'd have a cracked floor where my reloading bench used to be, as it'd be a pile of splinters.
The kitchen sink is directly above the corner you see in the upper right. Unfortunately it puts my shelves at "ground zero" for any sink problems; something that's bit me a few times now. The water has dripped directly down on to the center of the shelf on the far right edge each time. It then travels down the leg to the second shelf, where it traverses the shelf towards the center, where it then drips down on to the third.. just a happenstance of "not quite level" construction and slight shelf bowing that has caused some interesting effects with fluid dynamics. (I never even THOUGHT of water when I built the shelves, then figured the problem had been permanently solved after the first time... didn't know the guy had washed my ammo again with grout, or that the sink leaked downstairs yet AGAIN until way after the fact.)
If I knew as much about plumbing as I know about shooting and computers I'd be in good shape!
I can build a trap under the sink and run the drain hose directly outside; the wall to the right is an exterior wall. I can then put a gutter around the water lines that leads to that trap, so it should all drain clean to the great outdoors if there's a leak. I figure 3/8" line should do the trick. If more water gets out than that can handle I have much bigger problems on my hands because that means a pipe has ruptured and is gushing water all over everything...
Oh, and just to top off my luck with plumbing (I often jinx myself when I complain), an upstairs toilet blew a seal and started dripping down in the adjacent room yesterday. It's currently marked out of commission until I get it fixed.
I hate working on toilets.
A lot.
