and mirror frame where we demo'd

you can buy them ready to slip between studs too. I found one on e-Bay, but this one is better cuz it's FREE LOL and it's just as well we didn't spend the $$ as the wall there wasn't your standard stud configuration

here's the e-Bay link if you're interested

7. wow, NEAT!!! He MADE that?!?
Actually made it with, like hammer and saw and nails and stuff?

I am just SO impressed. We are totally un-handy. Can occasionally come up with cool ways to improvise with what others have made, but we can't actually MAKE anything. Dang, lucky you!

Maybe you'll have to moonlight at the Home Improvement store after all, just long enough to get the employee discount on some swanky new saws...

speculatively,
Bright

8. not only did he make it out of old scrap parts, he had to frame in the
wall cuz there was only one stud where he could hang it

he's a lot handier than he gives himself credit for

and I might.... so wish me luck, I'm off to the interview for the graphics job in about 20 minutes
