I purchased this book, but don’t really have time to read it, so I cut the binding off with my jig saw:

I then put the loose sheets into my ScanSnap 1300 scanner. In 15 minutes I had a 250 page pdf. Using a PDF to TTS app on the Android phone, I’ve turned this physical book into an audio book. It works great!

RV show!

We went to the RV show at RCC last Sunday. Some really nice units were on display, which helps firm up our retirement fantasies.

Folding bed for Mechel

I based the design on the Moddi bed, whose photos I saw online. We did this so his room could be used by the school during the day.

It’s an IKEA bed frame with 8 IKEA table tips bolted to the bottom to give it a modern art look.

The weight is shared between the wall cables and the ladder that supports the bed when it’s down:

When it’s up, it looks like an art piece:
