Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) ========== Hey, we did too! My father built a counter that was for other things (dishes and silverware I think), with a cut out for the TV to sit in. Actually it was a divider counter, so the TV could be swung around to be viewed in either the dining or living room (we found a TV that could be swung around). Both sides had doors (shutters, actually, the counter was "Danish Modern" style and kind of cool looking). Obviously when we had guests we shut the doors. And, IIRC, we had the first TV at our end of the street. At first it was sort of considered a guilty vice. Hmmm, come to think of it, maybe TV is still a guilty pleasure. :-) Marnie aka Doe
