Make sure you use plenty of primer on the treated lumber 4x4's. Treated lumber is about soaking wet when it hits the racks in the stores and takes a long time to dry out. Even a small amount of moisture content will mess with the paint job.

It’s not treated 4x4’s, it’s repurposed rough sawn 5x5’s with lots of prep work done to them.

I custom built a couple end tables when we bought new couches a couple years ago. It was an easy, quick job that I did with no plans other than in my head. They have a 2" thick top and a single 3/4" thick shelf towards the bottom with all the visible screw holes countersunk and plugged.

Other than that it has been very minor repairs or projects.

I've got a few bigger projects planned, but never enough time to get to them.

Next up will be an upcycled headboard for our bedroom. For years, we've just had a simple mattress and frame with no headboard or footboard. I've got a lot of salvaged pallet wood and wood I've bought for other temporary projects. The plan is to distress the boards a little more and stain them different depths of stain, hang some 3/4" thick anchoring boards on 4 wall studs, and then just brad nailing a random pattern of the boards into the anchoring boards to create a headboard. I'll also probably mount some lights on it as well. Eventually it'll look something like this:

...with lights mounted to it, and a little overhang on the perimeter to create the effect of it floating in front of the wall rather than being directly mounted to the wall.

After that, my list of projects includes:

A pergola above our deck (after we re-plank and re-rail the deck)
Garage shelving/storage and setting up our shed to be more of a workshop
Raised garden beds (standing height)
A chicken coop
Built in storage/shelving in one of our bonus rooms

At this rate, that'll all happen in 14 years when I can retire, lol... but if I get to any of it before then I'll try to remember to take pics and share.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      By toldozer · Posted

      Since Tepper bought the team we've made 43 draft selections before this last draft. Of those 43 only 11 I would consider guys that should be on NFL rosters, not even starters but should be on teams period. Of those 11 only 4 are good to above average NFL players.  Brian Burns correcting me if I'm wrong but hurney pick Hubbard picked by Matt rhules wife Derrick Brown this was Hurneys last first round pick right? Jaycee Horn - the one pick fitterer/Morgan made that looks like a pro bowl player. Problem is they picked him right in front of first team all pro at the same position.

      Relax. We are off to a slow start.

      I'm with you on this. I watched the beginning until the weather delay, saw enough of the game to say to myself, "I think I will go outside and cut my grass". Pretty sad that cutting grass is way better than watching the Can'thers play. Actually had a good time and the weather was awesome. Probably gonna stick with that M/O for the foreseeable future.

      Tepper makes the wrong decision in literally every case. It's laughable at this point. It is as hard as getting every single decision right. Give me one example of one thing he's got correct in 8 fuging years. It's no surprise that promoting the assistant GM that worked for the worst GM that I've ever seen was a mistake. This goes all the way back to insisting that Ron run a 3-4 and the defense goes to complete poo and we suck. That decision in my opinion cost us 3 or 4 more seasons of the greatest middle linebacker to ever do it.
