Anyone know where I can pick up some inflatable couches? I'd like to have something to sit on sooner rather than later, so I'm thinking that might be a good interim solution until things have settled down enough that adult furniture can be returned to the living room.
I'm thinking of putting them on platform raised slightly off the ground, so that there can be air circulation in case any liquids get under them. (Though I suppose I could just as easily put down plastic drop-cloths. I prefer having the air circulation, though.) Going to need to hit Home Despot or something to figure out exactly how the support structure will work, though I figure that getting a couple of 4'x6' platforms supported underneath by 2"x2" posts at either end and in the middle, with another 2"x2" cross piece running perpendicular underneath in a T-pattern should do the job. Slap felt on the bottom and it should be hardwood-floor friendly, as long as the support pieces don't get damp.
I've completely reorganized my garage today. Still got a little bit to go, but it's mostly done. Not exactly the ultimate in home gym, but I do at least feel like I've gotten my exercise for the day. Amazingly, even though I've added more stuff to the garage I think the amount of available space hasn't been reduced much so I'm optimistic that I will still be able to park my car in the garage once I'm done. This makes me happy, since I was really not looking forward to having to park my car outside for an indefinite period of time.

Also, folks in the SF area, Walmart is having a Green Day today (Saturday) and tomorrow where you can drop off old computers, TVs, etc. for recycling for free. Don't think they're taking video tapes, unfortunately. ;_;
