Char and I are working on finishing our basement. We’re going to make two big rooms, and a bunch of storage down there. The main room will be a fairly large TV/kids room which is where I plan on building my whole hog home theatre with in wall and in-ceiling speakers. The other part of… Continue reading What I want in a home office

I shall call it mini-behemoth
Almost a year ago Ryan and I built the Behemoth. It’s fully assembled (except for the darned doors which I just can’t seem to manage to build), so last weekend I decided to build a unit for Kaylin.
