Kristy M. Normal, IL. I have always loved doing projects with my father, so restoring this old newspaper box was a perfect project for the two of us. He is both a handyman and an engineer, so his expertise was tremendously helpful when deconstructing the unnecessary parts of the box and also designing and building a custom shelving unit for the books. And because he lives just a few houses down the street from me, he is able to witness our neighborhood enjoy the fruits of our labor!
