Making any progress, you slackers? Tell us about it!
Just moved into a new place, so a lot of things: -Building a compost bin
-Hanging shelves, mirrors, paintings, etc.
-Installing new electrical outlets
-Adjusting doors that are out of alignment
-Reupholstering a few chairs
Currently putting the finishing touches on a wall-mounted chest of drawers for the workshop, which is holding everything from screws to scrap metal to machinist vices. It’s made of scrap pallet wood and ply and totally hand-tooled (planes/chisels/saws). My workshop is very very small (under 8ft by 9ft) and doubles as my home office, so this baby really frees up major space.
Just the rest of the drawer labels left to do. Not sure if these photos will work, but here goes:
It’s not much honestly, but in order to make both kids fit in one room I’m making all their furniture from sheets of MDF. This was my very first project, and likely a mistake, but good progress has been made.
though not as home oriented as most posters here, i have a denim jacket i’ve been working on for the past couple months. have been making and sewing my own patches on, and am currently looking at dyeing the sleeves, though i’ve been procrastinating from that a bit ;)
Currently stripping popcorn ceiling on entire first floor, shoring and patching dry wall on all walls and ceiling, painting entire first floor, and replacing most fixtures and rugs. May not sound like much, but it’s full time. First spruce up place has had in 21 years. Also replacing pads and rotors on car when I need to take a brake (intended) from the dust and endless sanding.
