hang10tiki you are so right. It just keeps going like the energizer bunny.

SandraFremgen thank you. Here comes more photos of the family room as the Dreaded Domino Effect continues. See below. Please share some photos of your Tiki Oasis day.

ZeroTiki are you and your wife coming to our Sacramento Crawl??? Glad you like the mug. I try to make each years mug look like it really came from a Sacramento tiki place.

======================================================

Part Two of the Dreaded Domino Effect. I decided and Dan agreed that the nook needed to be treeless so out to the car they went for a trip to Goodwill.

We even got rid of all the silk plants that were hiding the fireplace.

Now that the nook had more room I figured out how we could make space for more of Dan's mug collection. So after Goodwill we drove on to Home Depot. It's so wonderful that they will cut anything you buy to the size you need.

It didn't take long until we checked out and were on our way back home.

We screwed the sides on and then I used the boxes for the crawl mugs to position the center shelf which was screwed into place.

After I marked the back Dan hammered in all the support nails.

It fit perfectly and now hides the cords to all my tall lamps.

Now back to work to make a second shelf for the other wall.

I didn't show this the first time but Dan couldn't start any nail without me holding it in place. That's the trust that comes with a 36 year marriage!

It fit like a glove. You may notice that Dan decided that the big

tiki needed to come back into the nook. He worried about it being outside.

I painted all the cut ends and screws with white enamel paint.

Dan tried out a MadDogMike mug on the back shelf and

a few others on the side shelves.

These two shelves cost a total of $68.00. Not bad at all.

However the Dreaded Domino Effect is not yet over. The family room is still in progress. More tomorrow.

Cheers, Wendy
