Photos are a little out of order but we'll go with it. Here the first of 3 modules is getting the legs attached. We left the top off to keep weight down for carrying everything inside. Star drive deck screws work great, installed in a way that they can be reached from below.
While the foam was laid out we marked where we wanted the legs to go, so we knew where to add extra joists...then changed our minds....then changed our minds again.
First module in place with 3/4 inch plywood top.
We found it easiest to built the support structure on top of the bench top. On the first module I used cleats to attach the top once inside, but on the next 2 I screwed the top directly into the 1x4 framework, as that top section should move in one piece, if it ever needs to be moved.
The closely spaced joist will serve as attachment points for legs. Ignore the cleats, that turned out to be extra work.
A little planning here would have led us to position this leg left or right of the plug. Once I saw that I had managed to put it right in front of the plug I simply moved it away from the wall a few inches.
Ready for the plywood top.
