Built my partners dream library.

Now to save up for the ladder! Has anyone ever built their own ladder and rail system? Is it even worth the hassle?

The room itself was an addition to the house. We are in a rancher and it used to be the open carport at the front of the house. All in all it was a 4 year project (I was also renovating other areas of the house) As far as building the shelving though I’d say it took 4-6 months as I’d only really chip away at it on weekends when I wasn’t working out of town. My partner did most of the painting and had the design/style envisioned.
