Didn't know the wiki page existed. I like it. I'll have to add a few articles I have written
  a few years back for the LiMBO newsletter. I should still have them somewhere on a CD.
  I plan on making the shelf out of a piece of wood thats laminated in similar grey
  to match the cabinets of the Westy we plan on picking up this weekend. It'll be a great place to set the portable DVD players on and the stuff animal collection they carry with them on our road trips. Now that the kids are older they will be sleeping up top. This way we can have a cup of tea before bed and not disturb them like we used to when they slept on the bottom. Thanks for again for the link Michael.
