How To Rebuild Garage Stairs and Landing
Here is a picture of the old stairs and landing that crosses over the stairs that go to the basement from the garage. The "safety railing" or shoe rack was terribly made, it was very wobbly and gross to look at. The entire platform was made of 2x6 joist and although sufficient for this short span it was my choice to use 2x8 joist to make the landing closer to the height of the house floor.

How to Build a Custom TV Stand
Here is the completed TV stand. It has been in use for 5 years and is in perfect condition even after moving twice. The Wii was originally deigned for a DVD player and the space below was originally made for a VCR (yes I had one 5 years ago). The top shelves were designed for DVD game cases but have since migrated into CD books.
