We are supposed to be having a major clear out of the junkyard that is the kid’s playroom. As is to be expected this should generate small fix-it jobs on a large scale . It would if it was being done with any speed, that is, but the Major is far too busy to progress her first project of the New Year. Hence it can be carried out at my more reasoned and logical pace, which also happens to be quite a bit more leisurely…
Anyhoo the first quarter of the room (also the one which the least in it) yielded enough floor space to fit another small desk into the room. I managed to swing it past the Major on the grounds that the current ‘70s office surplus desk could be used as messy/craft area for the kids (ie code for a small scale indoor workbench for me, mwhah-ha-ha-hah!).
At the moment the world and his wife are ditching their computer desks when they get a laptop and they are frequently available on Freecycle. As I am of a functional/utilitarian bent I don’t care what it looks like just as long as it fits into the space and does the job so that suits me. A day later we had a perfectly reasonable pine corner desk. Result.
