We have just begun building our next house and it's 200 miles away from our current house and we'll be living in our Bigfoot a lot. There was one thing I wanted to make a little easier...
Thought you folks might get a kick out of it. Nowhere else but FGRV!
Here's a picture of it, from below:
There's more pictures and details here or you can get there via the link below.
Happy Birthday USA!

Check that out! This is too cool. I know what you mean about the table never seeming to be at the right height for whatever you're doing.

So when are you going to patent and market this?

Thanks to all for the kind words.
I suspect this isn't patentable, Fred, but if it is, as the inventor, in the interest of world peace, I hereby donate it to the world!!

I hope it doesn't need an electric chair as an accessory!

Bill,
It's amazing what comes out of the human mind when a need is perceived. Clever execution of your concept, raise the table to prepare the meal and lower it to enjoy consuming the comestibles.
Enjoy

bill, if you can build this you can build anything!!
please set your mind to thinking how to convert to electric start the d#$%&m gas mower or gas trimmer, weed wacker things that are so impossible to start for those of us like your wife.
there HAS to be money in that, most of us get older every day and it gets harder and harder to find a neighbor to pull the rope!

Easy start modifications to these items are called ... men.
If the reader isn't already one of these, or chooses not to aquire one, the solution may be this: Many modern small gas engins have a priming bulb in the fuel line. If you follow the directions and only depress or squeeze the bulb three or four times, it's harldly ever enough. Instead, work the bulb until you hear a squirting sound inside the device. That signals that fuel has reached the carburator. After that, it's a one or two pull deal.
