#39 - I like to use soffits for special fence design. Here is a stone fence I did. Actually once I got the basics done it was just a matter of copying.

Did anyone mention using them as (50) paintings? Or (51) ceiling beams?
I also use them (52) on the underside of tables to make the tabletop look thicker or to make a "skirt" (I think that's what it's called). Like in this picture -- same table with and without soffit skirt.Kathleen Moore

Going to get killed by you all for this one 59: Igloo Housing tracks. All you have to do is stack them one on top of each other - no trusses, no beams, no building codes, no meltdown.

61 In 7.09 the part of the swimming pool below ground (better pools in 9.0) so I can see it in cross section. Ditto a septic tank and the pipes for it.
62 A license plate for the trailer. Suppose one for the car would be possible, too, but I was concerned that my trailer built from logs and fence parts wouldn't be recognized as such. Oh, the trailer tongue is a soffit, too!
63 Lots of things that need storage space planned for them: The pod that straps to the top of the car for long distance travel. Christmas ornament boxes. Reams of paper in the office. Facial tissue boxes everywhere. Light bulb boxes in the closet. Stack of storm windows.
64 A phone book on the desk.
65 Stacks of game boxes on the bookcase.
66 Colored switch plate covers.
67 Cushions for benches.
68 More attractive gravel in the aquarium.
And I thought I saw this, but now I can't find it, so maybe here's one more: Leaves for a drop leaf table.
Thanks for the keyboard, Kathleen!Debbie
