This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Tool Closet
Pulp Tool Closet
As previously discussed, we wanted to knock off a couple of the smaller projects we had on the plate, one being the Pulp Tool Closet makeover. That said, we also wanted to squeeze in a little “antique” shopping last weekend and no better way to do that then to attend the 3 times a year Brimfield Antique Flea Market show in MA (look it up if not familiar), also listed as America’s Oldest Outdoor Antique Flea Market. I believe it to be the largest type show in the country (and after the many miles logged walking through it, I tend to agree)!
And success was had for sure! Picked up a couple of classic additions for the 257 Project, new gold tipped andirons for the recently converted dining room that used to be a cast iron insert fireplace to full on regular fireplace (had to install a new exhaust liner and flue to make that conversion), a wonderfully cool “Hall Tree with Mirror” piece of furniture (which we installed in the 3rd floor entryway to the guest room, just in time for company this weekend), and a couple varied knick knack ceramic pieces for sitting on tops of shelves/mantels. Also took advantage of some of the wide variety of food trucks that line the main drag of the event, a good day indeed!
After all that, managed to get back on the Tool Closet repair work, essentially framed out a new ceiling (closet was 9 foot tall inside, dropped it down to 8 feet), installed the new sheetrock on that (those orange lines passing through are radiant heat lines to 2nd floor, going to eventually box those out but need a little more slack to be added), finish sheetrock on remaining walls and guess what? We are ready for patch paint. After that, we’ll re-install our Container Store tool storage shelving/hooks/etc., probably pick up some more for the right side where we removed the old shelving and then the tools can come home to rest! Which will be nice because they are sort of scattered about at the moment.
Progress pics adjacent and below. See you next week!

The 1800 Project
Here’s the trailer to the exciting new movie coming out this summer (okay, so maybe not really a movie, more a couple long form video’s to document the start to finish of this project)! Truth is, had a little fun with a movie trailer template they have and this is the “story” of the 1800 Project to date. Enjoy!
Innocent
So it’s 2020 and the pandemic is getting into full swing, it was a good time to do some recording. Years ago I had written a song called “Innocent” which was based off a nice, solid and repeating base line (which I played using the top E string on the guitar). Song was pretty much the result of watching a lot of crime shows and just plain watching the news. Original was done using a 4-Track recorder and while intent was there, could not really do it justice. Flash forward to 2020, GarageBand and multi-track recording from home, plus the ability to share and get contributions from some of your musician friends, the results are in! Special bonus, a co-workers two children doing some back up vocals, while practicing social distancing out in the garage/driveway, and well, making the best of a very different and trying time. Hope you enjoy!
The Ray Harm and Guy Coheleach Limited Edition Prints Prints
We recently mentioned that we had been gifted a fine collection of Ray Harm and Guy Coheleach “limited edition” art prints which we intend to eventually sell here from the website (will be setting up a page in our shop collection). Currently doing a complete inventory of what we have and documenting all of that. Wanted to share a little taste of what we are talking about so will feature a pic or two each week until we get that shop page up and running. This week’s pic sample prints below!
