Civilization at Last!

The screen "at rest' and out of the way
After fifteen years of "summer cabin" mode, we have joined civilization at last! They hooked up the satellite dish (now we have two: one for internet; one for TV). But here is the latest invention:

Space is severely limited in the 25 x 25 cabin (plus loft), as you may know. Lucky for us, the spaces between the supporting beams is just right to slip a 42" flat screen snuggly into it. But, who wants that thing to dangle down and have us walking into it? No problem! Roger created a "stand" that screws into the wall and moves in and out to keep the screen protected when not in use.

The screen swung down into viewing mode
When we want to watch TV, we just unsnap a sturdy hook behind the screen and swing the screen so it hangs straight. Of course, there will be a stand under this, but I wanted to take a picture before I forgot!

I get the impression your cabin is going to be the neatest thing, with all these cool little customized touches Roger is adding!
