As a result, the floors are not quite level and most door frames are not entirely square, some more than others.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234406140077819810.post-71692938764474713372010-12-01T17:04:49.932-05:002010-12-01T17:04:49.932-05:00Is it just me, or does that room have a serious li...Is it just me, or does that room have a serious list to starboard? :-)Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234406140077819810.post-13593221939505804522010-11-29T16:04:10.423-05:002010-11-29T16:04:10.423-05:00Forget green plastic army men.

It's a moral imperative. At the very least, an arched skirt under the shelf.<br /><br />Seriously... how cool would that be? An arched shelf, with books climbing the arch, and a 'keystone' in the middle.<br /><br />I can think of several ways to do it, starting with a steam box and a pine board.Carteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468700184940877315noreply@blogger.com
