There is something amazing about owning a home. When I first received my key, the 10-year-old Dean in me saw it for what it truly was, a gigantic, expensive fort and fully customizable. When I originally measured and mapped out my new playground, it was in hopes I would discover a secret room. That kid in me was only slightly devastated when none were found.
However, if I had found a room, the entrance would most definitely have been behind a bookcase accessible only by pulling a secret book lever. This week I created such a lever, and since I was lacking a secret room, I constructed a neat lamp base from some spare wire and wood that I had laying around the garage. I also picked up an equally neat light bulb to finish it all off. Now when you tug on the correct book… voilà! — the light illuminates and the kid in me smiles with glee!
