Day 120- Map Room framing

Welcome back Ghouls! We started framing out the Map Room! Right now the key is getting the moving wall to work. You can see in the images the idea of the suspension mechanism which is this year's major upgrade for moving doors and in this case walls. I took apart an old caster wheel saving the wheel and the bolt. Then taking 2 8" brackets (Home depot, 93cents each) the wheel was rebolted to the brackets as shown. The wheel will then sit on top of the 2x4 and will roll ON TOP as the wall moves. Now the trick will be to safely bolt a construct together that will convert to the horizontal wall frame. You can also see the floor of the room has been framed out. The Map Room will measure about 7 feet deep by 6 feet wide by 7.5 high. The I beams for the wall have to be widely separated to allow for a central projection set-up from the ceiling.
