Last full day in Wisconsin~~~
Back at O'Hare. About to take the 12 hour flight home.
I spent six hours today turning this...
... into this! 1080p RCA console TV. My 32" Visio fit perfectly. Our city trash bin is half full of scrap I had to take out to get it to fit. Gotta hand it to RCA, they used real wood and glued, tacked and screwed in every single piece.
Working on digging up the huge tree stump from right in the middle of the yard.
