A Word on the Room

A few quick notes on the room where the layout is being constructed.  The room is a closed in screen porch that measures a little less than 12 x 12.  This allows such perks as a non level floor designed to let water run off.

When I closed the porch in, I did it with the intent of it becoming the layout room.  I had the windows custom built.  You'll notice they are "transom" type windows.  This serves several purposes.  First -- they are all above layout level so I don't have to work around them.  Second -- they allow a lot of light in the room.  Third, the design provides some privacy.  I have been very happy with the result.

I also wired the room with a layout in mind.  Most of the outlets are double ganged ( I think that's the term).  The left pair is always powered, the right side can be turned off by a switch next to the door.  This was done so that I could guarantee all power to the layout was off when I left the room.

There are nine recessed lights in the ceiling.  I didn't plan any specific layout lighting since there is so much natural light in the room.  Again -- I've been pleased with the results.  The light switch doubles as a dimmer -- so I can dim them if necessary.

The room is carpeted for comfort and style.

That's it -- a quick description of my workspace.
