The wife has me slaving away on the new nursery, just a preliminary pic. She had the job to order the wall paper and as you can see we can up a little short lol. Need to fill holes, paint, and finish that out. Then it'll be a new light fixture and starting to buy furniture.

Finally finished coffee bar area. Took way longer than it should have because I decided to try using dowels instead of pocket screws and.... well I gave up on that shit and went back to pocket screws. Only used dowels on the top.

Looks great!
I also love building stuff myself.

Yeah it's nice to make exactly what you want for the exact space. I could of done a better job though. I rushed it at the end after wasting a lot of time on the dowels. Also the wood selection was junk. Luckily we are going for a more rustic look so it works fine.

If I ever have the space for a proper wood working shop area and up my skills I would probably go back and redo some of the stuff I've made and do them a bit better with hardwoods etc.

Doesn't seem worth it right now at my skill level.

See the slidig wooden walls behind the car? I made them on one Saturday. Alone. I love this thing, every day. Self made stuff is just more „worth" to me.

Summer garage project...

I've been slowly nearing completion over the summer. Switched to a wall mounted GDO. Love it! Now I'm searching for some larger garage wall art to finish up.

Looks great man! What did you use for the wainscoting? I can't tell if its metal or plastic.

Really nice transformation. I like what you did.

Asking - no concerns (impressions, tears, or cracks) with the quickjacks on the tiles? Thought of putting these in the main bay - but held off. So I only did swisstrax in the one.

Thank you! It's corrugated tin on the bottom and plywood "siding" on top.

I have no issues with the tiles. The Quickjacks spread the load enough it hasn't been a problem.

What's your pressure washer setup? I'm trying to make one that I don't have to move around.

The pressure washer is the AR Blue 630 with Mosmatic sprayer set up. It flows over 2gpm. Works beautifully . Got the setup from OG. I'll probably end up with a hose reel. Thought I would try it without first to save $200+.

While my wife and I wait, and wait, and wait, and wait some more on permits to build our house we decided to have some fun on the property and build a "tiny cabin" that we can camp in, hang out, or even work remotely from.

It's going to be 119sqft and 14 feet tall which is exactly 1 sqft under the size and height limit for a permit. LOL.

It sits on pier blocks and thus has no "permanent" foundation. Electrical will be solar and batteries. Fresh and gray water tanks will take care of the off the grid water supply. The permitting department can go suck it.

Framing is underway on this long weekend.

Is this more for your needs or for the middle finger?

Solidly 50% about needs and 50% about "F YOU" to the city and the "concerned neighbor" who has already called the city on us twice. Once for cutting down a tree without a permit (no permit needed, it was dead) and once for the cabin.

Oi. That would drive me mad. Here’s to the headaches being worth it one day soon…

That's why I live in an area with open zoning, you can do pretty much whatever you want with your property.

Operation: change hinge orientation for better access in new apartment, phase 3.

Phase 1: Flipped the fridge door so it opens towards the wall now, instead of the kitchen. Better access when cooking

Phase 2: Flipped the bathroom lower cabinet door to open towards the bathtub instead of in to the room. Don't have to jump around to get something now

Phase 3: Medicine cabinet. It's one of those useless 3 door ones, but the doors don't open usefully. Mine vs what ideally would be it; it's as easy as flipping the door but I'm not sure if I should just drill two holes on the left side of the cabinet and get bolts+nuts to hold the left door in place, or do something else. The mirror is beveled and the hinges aren't equidistant but that's ok since the mirror is in 3 pieces anyway. Plus (I think) I can always take the mirror off with like a fishing line or something to cut the caulk out, flip 180deg, and caulk again. That sounds like a lot of effort I'm not ready for though

Am I totally off base for bolting it on to the side of the cabinet? The spacing works out, so I wouldn't have to get a shim or anything; can take and post more photos if anyone needs more info... TIA

Who designs a cabinet like that??? Its just stupid to have the flanking doors hinged from the center. I would definitely be changing the doors around if it were my cabinet. Either that or replacing the entire cabinet with one that's more functional.
