Don't you hate it when your computer monitor is not at eye level, and you have to slump way down in your chair to get your head directly in front your screen? To solve this problem we'd been using stacks of books to hold up our machines. Tip: Dictionaries and big fat Bible commentaries work nicely. But they're unsightly, so Alex took matters into his own hands and made these out of scrap wood from Home Depot. Awesome! He just screwed the pieces together and painted them orange. He created a special feature on his booster so he can slide the keyboard under it, freeing up desk space. I, on the other hand, just use his desk space for my desk space. (Sorry, Sweetie.)
wow - i'm impressed. those turned out amazing! he should sell them. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet! I like that the keyboard can go underneath when not in use. He should sell them on etsy or something.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice having a "handy" man around.
ReplyDeleteOh, I really need something like that. I am using two phone books right now and it very ugly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why my neck hurts.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I need something like this at both of my desk jobs.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I stumbled upon your blog from the Blog Buzz page and appreciate your entries. :)
This is precisely what my chiropractor ordered. At the moment I'm using a pile of books. This is way better.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! (I say this as I am hunched over in front of my Mac!)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I say this as I am sitting comfortably in front of my Mac. Eating a bowl of soup. With my drink and a bunch of papers on Alex's desk. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a nice black and silver one that matches my pc paraphenalia, but its plastic (and really dusty now that I am looking at it!) - yours looks much nicer!
ReplyDeleteThose of you using phone books could just cover them in some nice gift wrap you know...
The tip about the Bible commentaries made me laugh because I use mine for exactly the same thing. They really are quite versatile. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look great. I have my monitors on a pile of stacked phone books.
ReplyDeletegreat idea! I'm going to have to get my hubby to make me one :) love it
ReplyDeleteI'm so short...I'm either looking up...or it's perfect...sad but true...I'm part of the "lolli-pop guild"
ReplyDeletem
Totally doing that this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why, did I not think of this before? I have a shoe box under mine right now. I am so..uh..getting someone else to make this for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice.:-)
ReplyDeleteI have a ready-made computer stand I got from a specialist store. I couldn't do without it.
Go Alex! Now, this is inspiring! Time to get the hands dirty and go play with some power tools!
ReplyDelete*maniacal laughter*
What, you don't want to make paper flowers or sew tote bags??? :)
ReplyDeleteNice...and of course it's orange :)
ReplyDeleteWe use an upside down wire bin -- love the instant storage space underneath.
Well, that's such a wonderful idea. So simple, thanks for the instructions. My husband is always saying he need something for our monitor to set on. I just might have to do this!
ReplyDeleteYes, Bibles do work wonders for hoisting up the old monitors. But for some reason my mother-in-law was a bit uptight about me using the Bible in such a way.
ReplyDeleteWell, I used Bible commentaries so that's okay. Hee hee. Truth is, I didn't have a Bible big enough.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am making shortbread for an afternoon party tomorrow (don't call it a tea party!), and taking a critical look at my room's walls.
ReplyDeleteBut no, fabric and the like...not so much. :]
i want to know where you got your cute mouse pad from ? ;]
ReplyDeleteFrom CB2. I don't know if they still have them; it was awhile ago. Yeah, I like how the fishies float around in the water. What can I say. I like kid stuff.
ReplyDeletethanks ;] i didnt see it but ill search for it online.
