mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I have always thought there is a lot of vertical space wasted in my T@B. Apparently someone else does tooo. Talked to my dad tonite, and this is VERY doable.... Katman1356...Jason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McMonsters..........Kelly 48 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Smart use of space! Looking forward to seeing yours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 In that space now is........ with flip up lids on both sides. We put away the top cushion long ago, but even so, there is vertical space wasted, and the top of the bench is unusable, because you have to be able to flip up the lid(s).

The extra storage would be a lot better use of space. Post some progress pix and the completed project when it's done. I'd love to see them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 That would give you way more storage! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Whoever did that mod did a good job. Do they use that porta-potty sitting on the drawer slide like that? Doesn't look like it would be a good idea to sit on it. TCD Memphis and Lou... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, they do, it's got two large wheels underneath to support the weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, they do, it's got two large wheels underneath to support the weight Oh- I can't see the wheels in the photo. Go right ahead, then. Make sure to lock the door first. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Go right ahead, then. I'm sure Carol's dad is breathing a sigh of relief now that you've ok'd it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, if those wheels weren't there- bad things could happen. That's a porta-potty on that shelf. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a porta-potty on that shelf. If you look at the photo, you'll see a shadow underneath the Potty. I assumed that it was a support of some sort, because no one in their right mind, not even you, would build that with only the slides shown for support.Although you can buy extra heavy duty slides that will support the cantilevered load, and as long as the support structure that they're attached to is beefy enough, it's ok.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 The extra heavy duty slides and the extra wood were way more expensive than normal heavy duty slides and two wheels :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I find it amusing that the 3 of you are carrying on a conversation regarding how much support is needed to keep someone sitting on the potty from falling onto the floor. Only on Fort Fiends. Momof6....aka Marty, PureTcrazy...rita and Katman1356...Jason 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only on Fort Fiends. True. Though I must admit it isn't nearly as entertaining as the story of a fiend member crashing to the floor while in the midst of, um, voiding would be.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I could mention a porta potty, a pop-up and a fan in regards to another member of my family ... if it was safe to do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD That's interesting, don't know how it happened.I only give up arrows in very extreme cases, and never any down arrows. Not even to you, but I've been tempted.
