and married to a guy who was a great woodworker with minimal tools. I did have to redesign a few things to compensate for bad cuts, but mostly it worked out fine. Everything we owned broke down, collapsed, folded up, or turned into its own packing crate and I do have to say some of it was quite ingenious.

In fact, I lived like a college student until I bought this place 18 years ago, living out of suitcases and an antique trunk instead of having furniture with drawers. I even got a real (thrift shop) couch a few years ago.

It's driving me nuts.

I still have some of the knock down, fold up stuff and I find that I prefer it.
