The Hardest Part
We are gonna go threw this quick...

Side counter hight is 42". Normally standing desk's are 44" but that would not alow me to look into or work on my planes fuselage's easly.
The desk under the window is a standard 38"

2X4
I ran to Home Depot and bought 3 2x4's for $2.00 each
Take the same measurements as the cleats on the wall.
Cut the 2x4's

Bring in the Goods
Take all of the good looking stuff and put it out on the desk... Throw all of the crap into the closet and close the doors...
Make Sure the Boss Likes It
Move in all R/C aircraft and trucks and have it throughly inspected by the boss.
