Finally...my new desk.

MY SUPERFANTASTIC NEW DESK
Alright.  After scouring the kijiji ads, second hand stores, Staples, Walmart and every other gosh-darn store in Moncton, I have come up empty handed.  As you read previously, I was working on a new desk for my office.  The mission was cheap as possible and indestructible.  I have gone through three crappy desks in the past 2 or so years and I am sooooo tired of replacing them every time I turn around.  So... what I came up with was the old door/filing cabinet trick.  However, I was uninformed as to how much a filing cabinet actually costs...if you can even find one... in the colour and size that you need.  The closest we came was $137 at Staples and it would take about a week to get here.  

No.  That simply won't do.

The solution, dear friends?  A super-handy husband that figured out a way to bolt/screw/fasten/whatever the other end of the desk/door to the wall.  I now have a terrific, cute, sturdy, super big desk to work at.  And all for the bargain price of about $15.  The door (about 7 feet long and 2.5 feet wide) we found at a second hand building supplies store, "Happy Harry's", the file cabinet was ours to begin with, and the brackets and fasteners were about $5.  Not bad,eh!  I'm so happy with how it turned out.  
And... do you know what the best thing is about this desk?  I still have plenty of money left to place another MAC order.  ;^)
