Tony 'built' this dry erase board for me :-). Well, I *guess* I will share with the children... hahahahaha!
It's 4'x8'. Huge! It's on the only solid wall in the dining room... errr... school room. I guess instead of it being a dining room we use for school it is really a school room we use for dining since we school more hours a day than we eat! 
The wall before...
Here are close ups of the corners. More details at the end.
Mounted with mirror clips.
Okay, here is the story. I had this hankering for a Huge dry erase board. Tony said 'sure' and looked at office store online. They were very spendy... like $200 plus. Umm... There has to be a better (read: cheaper) way! I remembered *vaguely* something from somewhere about making one so off we go to Home Depot. Tony bought a 4'x8' sheet of white tileboard. In a rack above the tileboard were the strips of edging (he cut the mitered edges with a tin snip) and he bought mirror clips in the 'nails and screws' area.
Tileboard $11.97
Caps 4 @ $2.49 each $9.96
1/4 in Mirror clips 3 @ $1.96 each $5.88
GRAND TOTAL (incl tax) $30.31
Woohoo!!! I am so happy!!! I think I'll go write something now!

What a HUGE savings! GO TONY!!!
Don't forget to clean it off regularly or it might stain permanently.
Love,
