Bumpa the Builder...


For the past (almost) 6 years, we've had a hole in our wall. No, we didn't bust our wall out or anything like that. Most newer homes have these niches in the wall in the family room area where the t.v.s would go. A lot of people hire someone to custom build a entertainment center for that niche. Well, we finally have a beautiful custom, hand made entertainment center. It's a solid piece of furniture with cabinets and pull out drawers for me to keep everything nice, neat, and organized!

This great handcrafted piece of artwork was built from scratch by Lance's Dad, aka Bumpa! Yes, Bumpa is definitely creative and crafty with his precision and fancy tools. If you have forgotten, he also built Joshie a great train table when he was one (now passed on to cousin, Marley in L.A.). Bumpa also built Joshie and Jayden's famous 2 story castle/loft complete with a full sized slide which is in the playroom. And, he also built a smaller entertainment center for Joshie and Jayden's entertainment area upstairs.

We're so lucky that Bumpa built us all of these wonderful things that are original, of high quality, and custom made with "TLC"! He can build pretty much anything...I bet he can even build a house! I don't think there are any limits to what he can build.

Thank you Bumpa for your latest creation. We love it! Everyone who comes over and sees the entertainment center are amazed at the overall craftmenship and quality. They all assume that we paid thousands for it...it definitely looks like it!

Now, all we need is to go out and buy a new BIG t.v.!
