ANOTHER TV RACK!

Early this month, we received a second-hand JVC TV from my brother. He had it shipped about a month ago and it only arrived on the first week of thIS month and just in time for us to get it during Mama’s birthday and my sister’s despedida. It was his old TV in Abu Dhabi, 29 –inches with a flat screen but its back is still so big which made it quite heavy. He tried to sell it at first but since flat screen TVs are so cheap there he had difficulty finding any buyer and so he decided to just give it away, thankfully he gave it to me! So the hubby and I just decided to put it in our room upstairs but since we didn’t have a TV rack there and we wanted also to have something quite sturdy to hold it, he decided to do another smaller TV rack for our room.

This time, he’s definitely faster because the first pic was taken on the 20th. He constructed the rack in just one day. The second pic was taken just 4 days later and the third pic, a mere 6 days, on the 26th, the rack was already upstairs in our room with the TV on top and the computer below it. It’s just so nice to have my very own handy man around the house eh!?!

A NEW PROJECT – TV RACK FOR THE NEW TV!

After about a week of rest, the hubby once again embarked on a new project – this time to construct a new TV rack for the new TV, but of course! The old one just won’t do since we would have to remove the top shelf just so our new 32-inch TV would fit in the old rack. He started making the rack yesterday from leftover wood that he scavenged. And today, he finished assembling it and had even painted the cabinet with white primer before he came in to dinner tonight. I guess he’s getting quite good at it because he seems to need less time to accomplish the cabinet itself. It helped, too, that he used a mechanical saw to cut the wood into the size that he wanted. Aside from being quicker, it was less strenuous than using an ordinary saw. Well, here’s a picture of the cabinet. He planned to paint it black but we still have to buy the paint. He also wants to install glass doors for it, but we have to find where to buy it and have it made by someone else coz he sure doesn’t know yet how to make that kind of a door, will provide more updates soon…
