Step 15 Wooden floor, curtains

Than i installed wooden floor on the metallic structure. I tried to make an invisible junction between the four massive wood pieces with a mixture of polyurethane glue and wood dust, and wasn't very successfull in terms of aesthetic as polyurethane expands when it dries : i had to remove some glue and correct the levels so the floor doesn't look perfect as some layers of the plywood appears on some junction ... but the joint is very strong ... I prefer liability to beauty ...this time hehehe !

On the pictures you can see that I already started to live in there : I had to write a thesis "forcefeedback systems" that is still in progress (i hand in september 2007 hopefully and it will be freely downloadable by the way !). For intimacy I installed stainless steel cables and sewed simple white curtains with a double layer at the bottom so people in the streets can't see through. The rings are fixed on the curtain are also stainless steel so the curtain miraculously slides on the cable SSSWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPP !

While living in this 'white cube' I noticed the anormal presence of dust especially in the computer's venitlation ... where was it coming from ? ...
