I spent my Sunday afternoon putting my shelf togather with the help of my Girlfriend and her nephew.

I made a design change to the outside edge supports, most notably reducing the number from three to two. I also attached two 12 inch long 2x4s to the ceiling that I then attached the outside edge supports to using the 3/8ths lag screws for both. This was in place of the original plan to have the edge supports pass through the sheet rock and attaching to the ceiling joists. I chose to do this becuase it would put a tension load on the lag screws vrs the originaly planed shear load. Also, it was far easier to run the screw up through the ceiling vrs tring to back to the suports in the attic.

I will work on drawing some asbuilt plans and continue documenting the build in the detials section I think. Mabey, if it feels like it would make sense, I will do a basic instruction set.
