Hi Sanji

Er....Nope.

Couldnt get it under the kids beds.

They couldnt decide whether they wanted to sleep on top or bottom bunks,so they ended up with a set of bunks each.
Biggest has a double bed at the bottom and a single on the top.

We stood the legs on blocks to get more space under them so I could go to B and Q.

B and Q had some 1/2 inch thick Conti? boards. I got two at 3ft wide and 5 at 6 inches wide.
I screwed the 6 inch bits on the sides of the 3 ft bits and made two big shallow 5 ft long boxes.
The kids drag these out from under their beds and play with bionicles and lego etc in them, then clear their rooms by pushing them back under their beds.

There would be ructions if I used the space.

Anyhow, I need most of the stuff in the lounge.
Its got my book shelves in there, 2 tellies, one for playstations and the other for Nicolodeon - and CSI if the kids ever go to bed...
Oh and a 3 seater, a 2 seater and two armchairs.

And a load of junk.

We also keep a couple of masts and sails in there.

Good Idea though

Thank You GSF Gaz

I am very proud of them. I know that they are useless at being "Normal", as am I, but they are absolutely brilliant at what they are good at.

Your lady likes hammocks?

Overnight?

Oh dear.

How are you supposed to escape for a while?

Im lucky, mine stayed for 3 days and has now gone home.

Found it.

Its on the workbench in the middle of the kitchen under all the clothes.

I think they must get all that grease on their scool uniforms at school. Must remember to complain.

I put some sockets in the slots on the platform so the pot would rotate on it.

Didnt work.

Difficult to do after that much whiskey...

Still, didnt miss by too much

Im really not that rough, Honest. I dont use the wood one for shaping rudders or for flattening out boat damage.

Looks like I was too drunk to find a grinding disk. That one is a cutting disk. You can tell because its flat.

It also looks worn out.

I suppose it would sort of fit in the opening....

Oh dear...

Oh goooood!

Looks like I didnt end up with a pic of the hole getting smoothed out.

So, I must have done it with the file.

Going to have to find out where you get the smug smiling icon smily things from....

Oh right!

Boring holes in it....

Why didnt I think of that.

Oh... I wold have been very careful while doing that while I was drunk, because if the drill jams in the tin, it could spin the tin and cut me....
