    SWMBO is pretty Strange!

    My SWMBO is a fairly strange creature.
    She must have far to much time on her hands with only 5 kids, 2 dogs, 12 chooks, 2 rooster & I've lost count of the cats to look after.


    Anyway, she often comes up with strange, weird & wonderful ideas which usually make me pour another wine & think "Where the hell did that come from"?


    But, I must admit that one of her newer ideas may have some merit.
    Bare in mind that I (nor she) are designers or engineers or in any way have much technical knowledge.
    What she has come up with is full sized furniture that works a lot like Leggo!
    So, you buy a kit which can be a table & chairs or a dresser & chair or a wardrobe or a study desk & chair or whatever.
    You could have mixed blocks to make what ever you like, several kits which are based on the room to furnished like a lounge room kit that goes together in different ways to make the 1 kit look different & changeable.
    You could even have blocks coloured differently on each side so the furniture would be a different colour depending on which way around you put the block.


    Probably a really dumb idea but I thought it might be a OK.


    Now someone will tell me Ikea already do this?

    PS SWMBO also restarts conversations 3 weeks after I thought they were finished & expects me to know what the hell she is on about.

    That's actually a bloody good idea
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    ideas , such as this have been on some of the home design shows esp. those that focus on maximizing the use of small spaces. really have me thinking now that we have decided being inner city flat is nicer than the suburban house.

    Both my dad and my GF refuse to put the hand brake on if it's not an Everest-ian type slope.
    It annoys me to the point, I may actually be legitimately OCD about it.

    GF - tried to roll it on her driveway
    Dog - more interested in chewing things
    FIL - Toyota person
    MIL - left the handbrake off their mazda, sent it downhill.
