Rita, that is such a great idea. "One man's trash us another man's treasure."
Well my wonderful guy came through. He loves building things from wood and showing off his talents. He made the lightbox like Kathy D's with a 1 x 4 frame and plexiglass top. He wanted to use plexiglass, because it is stonger but he couldn't find the frosted type to cut down on the glare. So he used some frosted plastic sheets (like window clings) that he had left over from when he covered a bathroom window. He had it finished by the time I got home yesterday, however, I still can't use it just yet, because he needs to do "some finishing touches". I know it will be worth the wait. I am so lucky to have him.
Thanks again to all who replied.
