Build the valance that will support the murphy bi-fold door  Build the valance.     Lay the bookcases face down. Attach the piano hinge. This minimizes the spacing between the two bookcases when they are closed. Alternately, the piano hinge can be attached to the sides of the bookcases.      Decide Fixed and Moving side.      Once you have your book case fully assembled now we need to decide which side you want the door to move to. We will use the term left hand and right hand swing. For this job we will say a left hand swing means the door swings from the left so you will open the right side of the door and the bookcase will fold to the left side of the door. A right hand swing will be just the opposite. You will open the left side of the door and the bookcase will stack on the right.

The rent included power and a place to park their car. They could get to their temp jobs during the week and sail on the weekends.  The other couple spent about half the year in the Caribbean. The rest of the time lived aboard at a boat storage facility, parked next to other boats under a roof while they earned enough money to support them for the re
