These things begin and end with beer. Mmm, Tsingtao...

Issue: second monitor is in a bitch of a spot. Need to look up to view which is awkward, as well at makes the top of the screen dark.

Stole a book on reincarnation. This does not bode well for me.

Step I: Prop monitor shelf with near every non-Pratchett book I own.

No fancy alt-text here.

Step II: Remove cupboard.

Measure once, cut til it fits. Or something.

Step III: Mark lines. Apparently the saw has a laser guide. Apparently its shit. I'm saddened by this.

Step IV.I: cut self with said nails.

Step IV: Pry off the backing I completely forgot about. Remove nails.

In retrospect, sawduct blowing on a tree would be like someone throwing some kind of human powder on you. Ew.

Step V: Go outside, where sawdust becomes nature's problem.

Read: fail at sawing a straight line

Step VI: Saw planks. If you're non-conformist like me, disregard the guide lines you drew.

Yep, its a shelf.

Step VII: Rebuild desk. Flipped shelf upside down as the other side was covered in holes and groved from the cupboard.

See? Beer.

Completed: AU$70 desk is now a fair amount more ergonomic.
