NO

The Sony TV I had sitting next to it survived the battle with the elements and cabinet collapse.  I was impressed.

Eh, I paid $20 for two of them and cobbled together a working one out of the pieces.  $20 for cap kits that didn't accomplish a damn thing.  $12 for a TV.  $10 for the tarp.  Not too shabby.  It was fun occasionally but nobody's touched it in a year.  We had a monsoon a couple of weeks ago that did it in.  I pull the tarp back last night, go inside to take a leak, think to myself, "you know, that tarp was probably the only thing holding it up," and go back outside to it tipping over and my dog running away from it.  Missed my wife by about 6 inches. 

Damn shame, could have used the insurance money.
