It's outside, it's replacing all grass in my backyard with 3/8 river stone, adding fountain and shrubs and flowers etc. It's pretty cool and almost finished. I don't know if I should have done it 🤣 but once it started, I couldn't stop in the middle!
Also no more mowing!
I’m building a 90s themed arcade in my shed. My friend wrote a proxy to the Wayback machine so that you can navigate to, say yahoo.com and our windows 98 computer will display it as it was in 1999. Virtually any site we could remember works!
But I’m also wanting to keep my workshop in the shed so my plan is to add a second floor first. I’ve never done construction before, so I’ve been looking up building codes and “building” what I have and want in blender. here’s the stair case:
I also 3D scanned my shed and can super impose new structure into it:
. Now I’m ready to order building materials.
I've been most of the way though the planning stages of a new desk, 3D printing cabinet, and air filtration system now for 6 months.
I'm close, I can feel it.
The Toilet From The Deepest Pit of Hell.
…or maybe I should call it The Toilet of Theseus.
I’ve replaced so many parts, solved so many leaks, reseated the tank, yada yada yada. It broke again, this time the lever arm. Off to the hardware store again, looking for an indestructible lever arm. Sheesh.
I’m just about ready to get a big bucket and some sawdust and slap a seat on it and call it good!
We went a bit mad.
Moved into a bungalow in 2007. Lovely location; ugly, cold, poorly-extended, horrible house. Last December, after years of talking about it, we knocked it down. Right now the replacement house is being built, estimated to be finished at the end of August.
Looking forward to moving back in!
