Lol

oh i see the halfway point now.

that is some nice work shaft looks nice!

My wife wants to remodel kitchen... Meh...I wanna convert the 3 car garage, laundry and bathroom into a master room/bath suite... Then add another driveway and build car port over where I converted that other room...

For the master, we got 775 sqft to work with... Also 9 foot ceilings... Could add some french doors in back which would open open close to pool. Could have a massive bathroom and lots of storage/walk-ins...

The kitchen... Not as much to work with and would end up doing a total upstairs remodel including adding new windows and doors and knocking out exterior walls etc... Fuck that...

ripping out walls sucks. so does plumbing. i ripped out a closet wall and relocated an outlet in my mud room so i could build custom lockers. turned out better than my ceiling

I ain't fucking with plumbing... We got all the plumbing in place down there... Prolly have to move it around some... But not me...

What sucks more is spending several weekends sanding down walls in three rooms because your friend decides they actually prefer the look of spray painted walls to rolled walls. The last few months of my life have been stripping wallpaper, sanding walls, waiting for plasterers' to reskimn the walls, sanding (keying) the plaster, undercoating the walls with three coats then sanding the undercoat back down to near plaster again in preparation for spraying instead .


It's nearly complete though, and ultra, ultra smooth.

Hey shaft, I also redid the living room... Here's a pic...

You could've put a bit of oak up there

Hey dumbo...I said in my original post that I redid my bedroom ceiling and that's exactly what my pictures show. Why would I talk about what I did and post pictures of something else?

It's becoming clear now... Shaft only has a single bed... He doesn't want us to find out he's divorced and lonely... ...

Sounds like you are really clutching at straws. Shaft posted so nice work in his bedroom and all you have is what appears to be a trailer park inspired smack den for sleep quarters.

The butt hurt is understandable

even this ceiling shot makes your place look jerry built and cheap

I guess I can understand your desperation to see where a real man with two testicles sleeps.


btw...thats the saddest looking decorative beam ive ever seen, plain old rough cut 2x8 lazily painted brown. I suggest you surround it with a better wood, maybe walnut, and put a nice stain on it so it doesn't look like something out of a trailer park.

I concur with Shafts assessment of the situation

I concur with chunk's concurrence with regards to Shaft's assessment of the situation.

Look at the bloody thing, I've seen better craftsmanship on pallets

That's not a decorative beem... And it's load bearing... The previous owner morons painted it white...

That's no excuse.

You're welcome.

You've lived in that house for what, over 20 years? Face it goofball, your taste sucks...crushed..

So you admit its shit ?

With all the car port conversions and above ground pools being installed you couldnt find the time to cover up a crappy beam ?

No I like the beems... Maybe one day I'll strip the paint and stain them...
