This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Tool Closet
Pulp Tool Closet
With the Pulp Bath Reno 1 pretty much in the rear view mirror (a couple touch ups here and there but ready to use) and the Bath Reno 2 demo partially underway, took a little detour and decided to knock out a few smaller projects, just to get them done as Pulp Bath Reno 2 is going to take a bit of time to complete!
One of those smaller projects being a first floor closet that we had designated to be the “household tool closet”, you know, the quick go-to storage spot for all of those most helpful everyday type tools that you use for interior house type adds and repairs. I’m talking about everything from screwdrivers to a couple battery powered drills. Tape measures, rulers, drill bits, anchoring kits, hex tools, hammers, mallets, tiny tools, tape (duct, blue, electric), head lamps, wrench sets, pliers, knee pads and other PPE wear, telescoping mirrors, sand paper, alkaline batteries, etc. Kind of a mini hardware store, if you will (and even all of that stuff does not preclude the inevitable trip to Lowe’s/Home Depot for something you still need)!
Anyway, we had been using it for the above mentioned purpose, in it’s “as-is” state, however some unrelated work that needed to be done, just so happened to come through this closet wall (as it turns out, there is a utility chase from cellar to 2nd floor in the wall) and said work required it to be emptied and various sections opened up, leaving it in the condition you see in the adjacent pic. What to do? Well, the walls were all plaster on lath and due to the age and work involved, it kind of had a few sections that just crumbled. Trying to patch and get it back to a usable state would be, quite honestly, a nightmare!
Enter new sheetrock walls over the existing. Plenty of nice and solid studs in the wall, so added some new lath on the open holes, patch sheetrock over the lath to get the walls flush and then right over the top with some new 3/16” sheetrock (see 2nd adjacent pic). So far, so good. Work to complete closing it up and then the patch paint portion to follow. We are on it this weekend!
Assorted progress pics 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!
