Home Improvement Today?

Awesome. But fair warning the hardest thing to do is work on a home you live in.

Try renovating your 1 and only bathroom lol
Been there

 

Try living in a 240sqft shed with your wife and 2 cats for 2 years with your toilet in the woodshed 75' from the shack while you build your house

 

I expected that. I don't have anything too drastic planned yet though.

 

^ Holy crap!

Have you guys seen the Stanley Fat Max Mobile Workstation? I use one for all of my armorer tools and gun parts when I travel to various field offices and inspect/repair weapons.

I keep flirting with the idea of going to the Tanos Systainer system of tool boxes

The only really flimsy part is the retracting pull handle. The rest of it is surprisingly sturdy. I wouldn't use it to bang on wood or metal work pieces, but for simply carrying tools around it's pretty good.

 

Correct. A tackle box with wheels.

 

I looked at the heavier version of that and decided to stick with my bags. My biggest issue are the single day jobs like new doors or windows. Between the nail guns saw aluminum brake and whatever else I'm way past out of room.

 

I wish something like that would have been available when I started out. I'll have to price out what the swap over would cost me.

 

Organization makes me so much happier if every Sunday I resort my truck for the week ahead. No one puts things back right and that's at least 2 hours a week I spend doing it.

 

What about the assortment of maple syrups and hockey pucks?

 

I have 4 Jobox's full of gear that doesn't usually travel too

 

Just read through it and decided to try to find the saw on craigslist again. I'm pretty sure the guy wanted less than $100 for 2 saws. Now I can't find it but there is an identical homelite xl-12 bow chain saw and the guy is asking $450 or b/o.

 

The things we do for our dreams!

 

Better late than never... I hope - didn't bother to read through all 287 pages

Master bedroom upon closing


Carpet up


Had another pic but whatever... Here's after sanding, poly, paint, and trim work:


The other 2 bedrooms turned out similarly. One was much worse to begin with, the other much better

It's a start!



Oops, shitty one before:


No carpet:


Boards replaced:


Sanded:


And done up top!

 

A one good use of the backseat of a DC

 

It looks like those floors turned out really well from the pictures.

 

Looks awesome Andrew! Diggin it.
