Stripped this 1978 magazine rack thing, part of the first furniture set I ever bought. Stained dark walnut and then thick polyurethane, multiple coats.

We have to change the original bar plans, unfortunately.

We put in a floating floor in the game room. And after consulting a few construction buddies, it is not a good idea to put something heavy and permanent on that new floor, as it will buckle if it can't float. I kinda knew that but thought I could do it anyway attaching to the wall mortar, but that still leaves all that weight on that floor. We could cut out 14' of new floor, leaving the float gap, but it seems stupid to do that on a brand new floor that's a month old.

So, I'm reluctantly switching gears to a portable, movable smaller bar there. I saw one at a furniture store recently, so my crew (me and another guy, lol) may do a recon run to that store, take some pics, measure it to see if it will 'fit' while talking to the sales guy, and then come home and plagiarise the fucker.

Also looking on internet later to see what we can come up with that's light and portable.

Just replaced the carbon filters in my op: one Tall Boy for the room and a standard 24" shorty for the out take fan. The out take scrubber is SO hard to get to, I have to move out a significant portion of my room to get to it. I had to do it, I smelled my grow from outside on Sunday and couldn't believe it. I could have sworn that I replaced them in March or so, but when I checked my email, it had been about 18 months! Sloppy. SO glad the cool weather is back, and so are my ladies! No more AC, and constant fresh CO2 being pumped in from outside. They're already starting to grow taller and fatter, and I save a lot on electricity. Win/win...

Picked up another ATV like the one I have but it has much better parts on it, except the motor which was blown. I'm going to take the best parts from the two and make one real nice one for my daughter. So far I've stripped the new one down to just the frame and motor.

My daughter wants me to paint it teal for her. You can kinda see where I tested the paint on the inside of the front fender.
