Creating a Craftsman Style Bathroom Light Fixture

I could not find a light fixture that I felt well complemented the decor of the Craftsman Style Bathroom I am building. This video is a simple tell all of how I created the one I used.

Worst Kitchen in America

An age old video of my kitchen some 10 years ago. I was a video entry into a DIY contest. Sadly I did not win. My Kitchen is not much better. I still have not finished renovating it. :-(

Enjoy the Video

Using PEX Pipe and Pex Press Fittings

In my home I have been replacing 100% of the old steel and copper plumbing pipes with PEX. I feel PEX water pipe is far superior to any of the other options, Steel, Copper or CPVC. In this video I show you the basics of PEX water pipe installation. This is for water pipe ONLY. Hydronic systems use a different type of PEX.

Re-purposing Stools for the Man-cave

Well, I have been kind of Manic lately. Have not been getting much sleep. On the positive side I have been completing a lot of those partially done projects. I also have been getting a bunch of the editing done on many of the videos I have had sitting, both old and new, waiting to be edited.

You can expect a short flurry of videos being posted. For now here is my "Re-purposing Stools for the Man-cave".

It's Sunday!

Well, still on the manic side of things.

Yesterday, I touched up the drywall in the main level bathroom. Then I went back to working on the MNUFC bar stools I am making. I sanded them. Wiped them down with lacquer thinner and then primed them. I also assembled the shower stall for the basement bathroom. In between all of that I dorked around on and off with programming a couple of the websites I manage.

Today, once I started going, I sanded and then touched up a few spots I missed on the upper half of the main level bathroom and then painted the lower half. At least I got rid of a half gallon of old paint. I will be tiling the lower half of the walls so all I needed to do was seal the drywall before I use mastic on it. 2 coats of paint to make sure it was well sealed.

Mid day I went back to the stools. I painted the stool and table base with their first and second coat of paint and will finish tomorrow, I hope. I also finished covering 2 of the stool seats and added the decals.

Tonight, I am going to the MN WILD game. :-) So busy. Just waiting for that depression to hit. It always does. :-(
