It\u2019s time for the first monthly DIY challenge of the new year! January is a big month for organization as well all try to get our lives back in order after Christmas and also maybe even start fresh with some new routines or organization methods. That\u2019s why this month\u2019s challenge is centered around organization projects around the house! Make sure you check out all of the organization projects submitted by the other bloggers and hopefully you\u2019ll feel inspired!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m partnering with The Home Depot today to show you how I built this TV riser using the new Husky Expandable Framing Square. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Husky Expandable Framing Square is a great and versatile tool that gives you the best of both worlds. A compact design, but still the ability to mark lines or check square for a greater distance. It quickly and easily expands from 6\u2033 to 12\u2033 and back again with a flip of the ruler.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

If you remember, last year, I remodeled my youngest son\u2019s closet to be a bit more organized and functional. In doing so, we also added a TV to his room and he moved the Xbox out of the great room and into his own. I wish I had a \u2018before\u2019 picture of the hot mess that this was, but alas you\u2019ll just have to use your own imagination. I happened to have a leftover piece of plywood from his closet project that was just the right amount of wood to build a riser for his TV, which then allowed his Xbox to fit under the TV and not stashed off to the side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

To get started, I did some measuring and determined the length and height needed for the riser. It needed to be 30\u2033 long to fit the TV and I wanted it to be 5\u2033 high to give ample air flow for the Xbox fan. I measured the length for the sides of the riser and marked them using my Husky Expandable Framing Square.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I cut all of the pieces down to size using my miter saw. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I then drilled holes 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes into the sides of the riser using my Kreg Jig<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

I glued and clamped the sides in place, then attached them with 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws. <\/p>\n

Once the riser was assembled, I touched up all of the paint on it. Like I said, this was a piece that I decided to scrap from the original design, so it was quick and easy to just touch up the paint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The finished riser fit perfectly on top of the cabinet in my son\u2019s closet and it looks so much nicer to have everything in a proper place and not tossed around everywhere. I\u2019m so glad I kept that piece of wood from his closet project. It\u2019s amazing how sometimes the simplest little things like this DIY TV riser can make a big impact.<\/p>\n
