Haha hey what's up bro , I like how you put it " discouraged " but yeah , within 3 minutes of me posting the black lives matter video I was shall we say " discouraged " , locked out of my account password .

Did you have a good 4th ? I'm stuck steam cleaning , the grand kids had an accident this afternoon & spilled chocolate custard from Culvers on my wife's bone white carpet , white is a bitch to get clean .

When I vanish you guys will know why , I'm not hiding behind a sock to play here lol , that's why I used this staff known account to post from , fuckers , i was just starting to have fun being back ;)
Well shit, hope your original account wasn't banned. That doesn't add up. It should work normally in 30 days time, so same time, next month ;)

Soon as you started posting after your hiatus, you started to take a lot of heat. "Politics" Yum, Yum... eat em up tiger... Guess the powers that be don't want you dishing much back. And it's only carpet man, take er easy.

If you're not around for a bit, have an excellent summer.

Filled in holes and touched up paint today. The new door knob didn't line up with old wall bubble door stop...had no idea how it was attached so I started cutting through it with a utility knife...0705161529.jpg 0705161600a.jpg
came right off, just sticky glued...
taped around hole, joint compound smoothed in...0705161617.jpg

Spent a good portion of the day driving, it's ok because it's summer and I was on highways mostly. I'm stressed because of the amount of stuff I have to do in the next month or so, and I think today was more productive than I give it credit for.

I have a playlist of old commercials from when I was a kid on YouTube and I listened to those while driving. The road I was on was one that I used to go down when I was younger, so it felt kinda cool, and I was able to not think about work and decompress.

Good stuff.

last challenging project of the remodel is done enough for now.

all of this just to hold some purses and shoes. still need to buy at least 1-2 more sheets of melamine to make a shoe divider and more vertical support for the long shelves.

i don't have a table saw that extends to 24'', so i had to cut all the pieces with a jigsaw. even if i had a table saw, it would still chip the melamine. even some of the factory edges had significant chips, and i sorted through these heavy ass sheets for the best ones.

so long story short i did caulk the butts. i was hesitant to do so, but i tried a couple and it looked great. couldn't even see the caulk line if you tried and any slight gaps disappeared. i still need to buy and apply some white acrylic touch up paint for all the borders where the banding meets the factory edges. then those slight chips should disappear as well.

not much else on the punchlist after i get that done.

Yup, that's melamine for you. A skill saw(i'd put masking tape on the underside) with a finish blade works. Just clamp on a guide :-D and go. I don't own a sliding chop/miter saw either.

The only thing I have left to do this summer is shoot on the base and finish it. That's it! Full remodel has been achieved. From new stucco exterior to new sheetrock. Gonna wait to put in the new carpet once the addition is done, which I'm not going to be doing for quite a while, because I'll have to shut down the grow here. I no want to shut down the grow here. But I need to add on, sell, move on to the next house. FML
caulk the butts
Don't you just love caulking butts? I sure do! :-)
