A snapshot of heaven - Lemmy.World

I am a man, and I see many problems with this:

  • the TV is at least two sizes too small
  • WAF is a non-factor, so there would absolutely be some oversized speakers beside that tv
  • my ass isn’t lying on the floor, when a couch would be far more comfortable
  • the couch would make floor pizza too far away, so there would be a “coffee table”
A couch? A coffee table? OK, King Louis XIV. The rest of us will make do with a floor gaming chair.
I’m not sure you realize how much heavy lifting I’m making the quotations around “coffee table” do.

Two cinder blocks and a rough sawn plank.

That’ll do.

I think you underestimate how much construction materials cost. Ikea is cheaper.

Costs? These materials are easily found roadside or elsewhere. The blocks have chunks missing or are uneven, so a matchbook or folded cardboard helps level out the wobble for the weather-soaked grey plank.

I know as I’ve done just that.

Also a lot of construction sites are kind enough to leave a pile of free construction materials somewhere on the site, like they are saying, “we have extra so help yourself! 😁” I try to only help myself at night, because I’m considerate enough to avoid getting in the way of the actual construction.
