[Rhodes22-list] Fold Up Support for Bed Cushions

[Jesse Shumaker]

George, nice work on that.  It seems like a good solution to stow that when
not in use since that would open things up quite a bit.  Thanks for sharing.

My solution to keep that piece up when I want to was to add an eye on the
bottom of the wood, and another to the trim behind the seat cushions and
then I attach a bungee to connect them.  The bungee hangs down between the
two forward cushions when not in use.  The wood was starting to delaminate
so I added some reinforcement underneath.   I attached a photo.
