MacGuyver

I spent a good part of yesterday filling holes in the window and door casings, bead board, built-ins, etc.  A local retailer had a "VIP" sale for a few hours in the evening so I got to knock-off early.  

We've been looking for an entertainment console of some sort, but have some interesting limitations.  In the store I stumbled upon this.  We need something short because the attic walls aren't vertical.  In addition, the path to the attic is narrow and winding.  So the curved front might help, but it's pretty long (wide).  The question is, will it make it up the stairs?

I'm not willing to spend a hundred bucks for (non-refundable) delivery just to find out the thing won't fit up the stairs.

So I took this morning off to play MacGuyver and construct this.  It's made of some spare cardboard, rigid foam, and duct tape stolen from The Little Man.  The stops had to come off the attic doorway, but it might just squeeze through the opening.  Problem is... it's still too tall, meaning there's not enough height for a decent sized TV.  Oh well.

So I spent the afternoon painting the walls in this room instead.  Photos and that story at a later date.
