solution

See that little pile on the floor....of LEGOs? Love them, but picking them up well, not so fun for anyone. But it has to be done.

So a trip to Home Depot (yes we have one here), a borrowed drill, some helpers, lots of patience with a lack of proper tools,

and a low, rolling table appears.

it is now stored under the couch in the living area. Safe from bare feet, and soon-to-be crawling babies (we hope).
