  • Questions to think about:

    What is allowed for mounting to the walls? Most landlords don’t take kindly to holes in their walls.

    How will this be prevented from racking? You might want some back wall support of your own.

    Are you planning on mounting to the brick or to the side walls? Many houses don’t have 90⁰ angles and you might find that your nice rectangular desk top looks terrible because the house is the wrong shape. (Those side walls are likely not as parallel as you want)

    How long are you going to be living there/how nice do you want it to look? Most likely, this will not travel as well to another place. Mostly because this will be very tailored to this place.

    If you make a back wall for the TV, you’ll be able to mount the TV to the unit, freeing up the lower surface and looking a bit cleaner.


  • Some assumptions: Bob, makes the most delicious dumplings.

    You make a great curry.

    Your wife plays poker with Bob’s wife once a week.

    You and Bob trade dumplings and curry weekly through these poker games. Unfortunately, your wife wants some of the dumplings before giving them to you. You get less dumplings per curry now. (Your wife imposes the tariff)

    Unfortunately, Bob’s wife sees this and thinks she wants in on this also, so eats some curry at poker night, now Bob is getting less curry per dumpling.

    You and Bob lose.

    (This does not quite make it to the level of international trade, but I’m always thinking about food)
