A while ago Oliver asked for some space in my office to build Lego creations. \u00a0Being the dutiful loving father [ and a little bored ] I decided to indulge him.<\/p>\n

The wood was a 40mm x 900mm x 3000mm piece of birch from eBay which I had to chop down to size in the garage.<\/p>\n

Massive thanks go to Mark from #4 who helped me carry to wood from the garage to my office and then came up with the cunning plan of sliding it into place using the sofa bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
