Building the war room of my dreams

I *ahem* tested Gemini for the next part of my grand plan in this project.

Or rather … it tested me as like all the other LLM’s before it once again messed up the design as I was getting close to having something that looked good.

Luckily I managed to save a few images of the design.

There is only one problem left : executing it in the real world.

During the planning phase I learned two new words : ‘batten’ and ‘noggin’.

To make the concept a reality Gemini told me that I needed to add wooden planks to the wall. 5 vertical (‘batten’) and a whole heap of horizontal ones called ‘noggins’. On top of that construct we shall attempt to mount 6mm MDF plates.

As per usual I spend a lot of time correcting and fixing the mistakes the bloody thing kept making, but I think I’ve got the overall layout planned.

Because I don’t trust the measurements and calculations that Gemini gave me I won’t be ordering everything at once. The 5 vertical battens do appear to be a pretty safe bet, so that shouldn’t be much of a problem.

The horizontal noggins should be pretty safe to do as well, because I can at least rely on the width of the billy bookcases (80cm) that form part of the design.

Everything else … well let’s just say that I’d rather measure in the real world first, because while gaps between the panels are part of the design I do want them to be somewhat symmetrical.

Only one question left : can I do this ?
We will have to find out later, because I really should have finished the doors of the built-in closet first. Although this side quest did help me figure out the placement and height of the blue accents that are part of those designs as well.
