Al, do you think that you can talk LIz into installing a reclining mechanism while she's refurbishing?
My wonky feet, knees and back highly recommend it.

A word to the wise re.screwing, Al:
Careful to not overdo it.
.... one Saturday, 'way back, I screwed so much I got blisters.
['Twas before battery powered drivers were a thing ... I assembled a waterbed frame and my lily-white hands weren't up to the handle on my #2 Phillips. ]
