  1. More progress this weekend, not as much as I wanted however, since I left the damn top rail at home... I wasn't going back to get it, so it wont be finished till then. Bout to wrap this project up, which means I have to move forward with the project that I'm not exactly looking forward to. Several weeks ago, I noticed the wainscoting starting to bubble to the right of the speaker on the right. The laundry room is directly behind that area and I ended up finding a leak in the hose bibb box. Its kind of hard to see in the picture, but it did enough damage, that I'm going to have to replace flooring in the entire area and also the wainscoting along that wall. Since its going to be next to impossible to find that exact wainscoting, I've decided (should actually read, what my wife wants) to go full bore stupid and change out the entire wall to shiplap. Damn you Joanna Gains! So... That means sourcing lumber, which fortunately for me isn't an issue. Friend of mine has a lumber yard and I like to go there and dig through old forgotten inventory. I spotted this find a while back and got him to give me a price I couldn't refuse. This is true 1 x 6 doug fir that has been sitting at least 15 years buried in a lumber barn. Hard as a rock for softwood, and really nice and straight for the most part. Here it is, stacked and cleaned of 15 years of dust. My 2nd kid managed to catch whatever crap my first kid gave him, so I get the day to play and mill some of this lumber. Will report back with the milling process later.
  2. What was the method you used to get aged effect on the pallet wood? Just curious.
  3. Dude... Thats awesome. Im so copying that!..
  4. Lets see if I can figure this picture thing out. Recently started a built in bunk bed project. The room was previously an office, which in hindsight, should have taken picture of it beforehand so you could gather an idea of what space was. The location of this house being a "getaway" house, I didn't exactly need an office but could use some additional sleeping quarters since we tend to have a lot of bodies come down on the weekends. This is the room stripped of cabinets and built in desk, so you can envision the size. Next we removed the flooring. True build in because the room is on 75 1/2" wide and a twin mattress is 75" long. Not a lot of extra room. I went ahead and took the time to run the electrical up the walls so the kids/whoever would have easy access to charging ports for phones and ipads. You'll see the outlets on the right hand in the picture above and below. Next up paint. Room is now prepped, time to start construction of bunk beds. Used MDO and poplar for ease of painting. Did most of the work at my shop and mostly assembled on site. Minor cuts for fitting were done on location. Here is the cut pile. Wanted some drawers for some storage in the room. Built those next. Built the ladder at home also. Now that the basic build is done, time for install at location. Ladder installed. Here is as far as I got last weekend. One coat of paint. I got a few trim pieces left to install, and a railing, but the end is near on this one. Will post final pictures once I get that done. Cheers.
  5. Impossible... didnt aggy already declare themselves recruiting national champions this year?
  6. I know I'm in the minority on this and will get hit with neg rep, but no shits given.... I want to play them again yearly. They are insufferable twits that need to be put back in their place yearly by us. At the moment, they run their mouth and we are left to bama and lsu to do our job for us.
  7. I would remove receptacle and test wires from behind. Could just be bad receptacle, not common but does happen.

  9. W2 at 85k... need the "verifiable" income for bank loans... Makes it easier that way when doing personal financing if your self employed... But yes, we try to make as little as possible. In fact I'm dead broke with a mountain of debt...
  10. Ny6 bowl is always better than fucking alamo bowl. Quit being pussies.
  11. Agree... We don't have to cheat to win.
  12. Surprised he made it as long as he did...
  13. If Alabama wins, wouldn't that make a two pete, competing for a 3 pete next year? Pretty sure they might win Heisman with Tua, and possibly another next year, while a awesome junior qb gets snubbed.... Hum... this sounds familiar...
  14. I just came here to say fuck ou...
