MAN AT WORK

Dad is busy this morning, building a shelf for plants that will go across the back of the couch area. He has taken out the old panelling on the living room back wall. ( the garbage man will hate us this week ) . Dad and Mark came home yesterday with sheet rock and got it in the house. Dad in his type A personality mode, took out the old wall and corner shelves and old insulation, and replace it with all new stuff. Dad had me help with one piece of sheet rock and then proceeded to hang all the rest, and mud it in and tape it.
Today.. as you can see he is still in his jamies.. he is at it early.. trying to get my input on where to place the shelf that will go across the back of the wall and not interfere with the couch.. I wanted it lower, but that would not work as the area under will have tall people sitting in it.. nobody wants plants hanging in their hair when they are just trying to sit and visit, or watch TV.
Dad has his creative juices flowing and I will try and stay out of his way.. He has a special design all figured out, and it sounds like a beautiful idea to me. hip-hip-hurry for men who can build!!
