Darthphere Presents: Geeks with Hammers, the Home and Garden thread.

[Erzengel]

We want to put this in the family room.

 

[Erzengel]

I love Home Goods! Since I moved, there hasn't been one close by to shop at, but they're opening a store right down the road from me at the end of October. I'll definitely have to check for artwork when they open.

I have no scheme I'd like to find some cool comic art...I've been keeping my eye out when I go to Cons. Other than that, I like what I like, and I'll know what I want when I see it I like trees and landscapes. I wouldn't be opposed to an interesting tapestry, either.

We have this, which I have to frame.

This is being framed right now.

And she has this.

We want to put this in the family room.

Oooooo, LOVE this! It would match my living room, too

 

[Immortalfire]

Heck yes. I fixed a loose doorknob, swept some floors and cleared out a jam packed storage closet today.

 

[Kane52630]

Fixing up blinds and curtains are a b**** especially when you don't have measuring tape.

 

[Darthphere]

I don't **** around with blinds. I'm gonna have to at some point since my cat destroyed my blinds.

 

[ComicChick]

i kinda wanna build some shelves upstairs

 

[Kane52630]

Today I spent changing the fluorescent tube lights on the ceiling, I think I might need a taller ladder next time.

What type of shelves exactly?

Today I spent changing the fluorescent tube lights on the ceiling, I think I might need a taller ladder next time.

I have those in my kitchen. Hate them. There's also a terrible drop ceiling. I rent so I can't get rid of it. Which I could tear that son of a ***** down and put in a nice lighting fixture.

 

[ComicChick]

What type of shelves exactly?

i'm not sure exactly. it'd probably be easier and cheaper if i were to just buy another bookcase and put it together

 

[Darthphere]

I just put a shelf in my room above my desk to hold my printer. Pretty straight forward. Went to IKEA picked out a shelf, picked out a pair of brackets, wham bam thank you ma'am.

 

[Immortalfire]

Me, raking the hell out of remnants of trimmed hedges.

 

[Darthphere]

You're raking the **** out of those hedges.

 

[Immortalfire]

I trimmed em too, AND then raked em. Awesome?

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

Been busy as heck today. Put together my new computer desk, and framed a Clint Eastwood art print.

I got the desk together in under an hour. Those direction sheets can screw off though, it's like a foreign language.

 

[Darthphere]

Nice.

 

[Kane52630]

That is a nice set up.

Sucks that my tv is behind my computer desk, oh the neck pains.

 

[Immortalfire]

Time for a room overhaul, Kane.

 

[Kane52630]

I can but that will mean I have to buy some coaxial cables which means wires will be all around my room.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Tear up the carpet and run them under that.

 

[Immortalfire]

What Corp said.

 

[Kane52630]

Hmm, I can do that but the bigger problem I have is where to put it. And I prefer not moving it because it's position directly towards my bed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Tear the wall of your house down and get to drywallin'.

 

[Immortalfire]

Knocking out a wall is the greatest house chore ever.

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

Hmm, I can do that but the bigger problem I have is where to put it. And I prefer not moving it because it's position directly towards my bed.

Go with the radical redesign. Move everything out of there, set up a TV on the wall you face while laying in bed, set up computer on the wall side with the most space. My main room was so cluttered a while back, but I just did a huge redesign, looks great, and I have so much extra space for activities!
