And please let us know the reactions of your son. I can imagine I would be kind of irritated but proud of my dad building such a thing on his own, working his way through all these difficulties.

My son came home yesterday and stayed through this evening. It turns out my efforts were not in vain. He was utterly amazed that I took on, and completed, the MagicMirror project. He was excited and enthusiastic, wanting to see the code of the modules and css files. He already has ideas for what he would want to do with MM.

So, he went back to school with a camera full of pictures of my mirror to show his frat buddies, and he promised that he and I would do something like this together, when time allowed. I’m hoping he will want to create a MM module with me, although he would be doing all the work and I would just be along for the ride.

But what a ride it will be ;) As a father I know all to well how important these kinds of memories are… for both.

I’m a father and a grandfather, too.

If I was the oldest to make a MagicMirror, that would be cool. :-)

22" diagonal monitor
The mirror I bought was 24"x12". I only had to cut the length of the mirror by about 4 inches. The 12" width was perfect.
