It seems like my shack is in a constant state of reconfiguration.
Then I had to complicate things by buying a K3S and a Flex-6700 at the
Huntsville Hamfest.
My initial plan was to build a "horseshoe" configuration; much like the
computer room at a former office.
Over time the XYL, who was a Geology/Earth Science professor, covered
three of the four walls with six-foot-tall bookcases.
Now that she has passed, I have the task of selling/donating all of her
book collection.
Eventually I will be able to reclaim the space and have the
configuration that I wanted in the first place.
There is no option to build vertically from the operating desk, as that
would block the view from the only window in the room.

I build furniture as one of my hobbies. Therefore I could build a
custom, made to fit, each piece of equipment enclosure or desk.
However, my station is in a reconfigured built in book case system.
Cabinets are located below with doors, and above, shelves are
extended to depths of 12" to 18" for equipment and operation, extend
to the ceiling. Plus it is some 6 ft wide. A series of holes in each
shelf allows running cables left to right and up and down. Over some
20 years it has contained and supported various pieces of equipment
from a fully configured Collins S Line plus a 5 transceiver
accumulation and now down to two transceivers and one amplifier and
tuner. Being on the 2nd floor of the house, all feed lines and
rotor control traverse the attic and drop down through the ceiling to
the tuner and coax switch arrangement at the operating position.
The point being.........flexibility is a must with any installation
and configuration.
