Just an Inch to Small

After having our TV sit on a small desk for a year we decided it was time to upgrade. However we couldn't find what we were looking for at a price we were willing to pay. So Craig came up with the idea of building one. Have to admit--I was a little scepticle about this one. So for a few months he and his "instructor" (Andrea's grandpa) built this masterpiece from a pile of wood. I was a little suprised and impressed that Craig enough patience to complete something so involved. And I'm sure he wondered a few times what he had gotten himself into--especially when spending hours at night in the garage sanding this thing. But it looks wonderful!! So the day finally came when we moved it into the family room, lifted our 5 year old tube TV into its proper position, and whala!!---wait a minute---it doesn't fit!!!! It hung off the front end about an inch. And Craig's reply was "but I measured it". He was actually pretty upset about it. So question---do we cut a whole in the back of his masterpiece so we could fit the hug back of our tube TV inside or do we go and get a flatscreen?? Hmmm....now I was wondering if the measurments were off for a reason :) So anyways, we decided to get a new TV (with thanks to Pres Bush's tax rebate). But we love having one place to put all our media stuff (and where Austin can't reach it)......so thanks Craig for all your hard work. It turned out beautiful!!!
