This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Drainage and Walkway
Pulp Deck
You just can’t beat warm and sunny weekends in the Northeast this time of year, as you know, it could be snowing! Well, maybe a little early for that but I’m sure you can catch my drift. Some days do start out in the upper 30 degree range, combine that with a little moisture and guess what? Snow flurries. That’s right.
That said, we’ve been having a run of the start cool and warm up days, which have totally allowed us to keep going with the outdoor projects and of late, the roof downspout drainage project which I’m happy to report has gone as far as it can on the east side of house (we are near the driveway that will have to be dug up to continue through, part of the plan once we get to driveway re-paving).
Now I should mention that the east side is pretty much the main thoroughfare to the driveway and modes of transportation (the vehicles), so what better time than to get a jump on the new Pulp Walkway! With all projects, a little planning goes a long way, so as you can see in adjacent pic, we went with some stakes and caution tape to give us an idea of what is going to need to be done. We also need to access the detached garage, and while you can see some pavers in the pic, we actually just placed them there to try and create a “dry” path to do the aforementioned vehicles, you see, underneath was an oddball mix of crushed granite, tar and grass, complete with dips and craters that were very good at accumulating rain water!
The new plan? We decided to go with brick in a running bond pattern, so where to begin? A trip to the landscape supply! Turns out we have one fairly local and they indeed had a very nice assortment of all things brick/stone/pavers. We found a very nice “vintage” red brick and some pretty cool stone pavers that we’ll be using for the new Smoker pit (more on that to come later). Stay tuned.
In other news, the Pulp Deck “rough in”, aka, frame, roof and decking is complete (as mentioned, we designed it but did source out the build to save some time) and it is now ready for us too do our “finish” thing. To come….the outdoor kitchen, trim finishes, lighting, and some really cool surprises (check out the below)!
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!
