We found some great wood in one of the many sheds on the farm. It came from a farm that my grandfather had cleared 40 some years ago and then had milled at a local lumber mill. We came up with a great use for it. With an old floor length mirror I got for free when Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada was refurbishing, and some heavy screws, we now have a "window" in our otherwise windowless dining room.
We hung the mirror with BIG bolts so that it wouldn't come crashing down in the event that a monster truck slammed into any wall in the house and caused the slightest vibration. But of course that would never happen in our house. Oh no.
We taped a level line, so the wood frame wouldn't look all wonky. And of course we checked ourselves out because it's important to look good when your doing home improvements.
We predrilled holes so the wood wouldn't crack when we screwed it to the mirror frame.
Ta Da!
Uh oh, gotta go. Bubba wants me to build a house with him. Talk to ya soon.
