Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

My spine is killing me.  I don't see the massage guy or stretch therapist until I get back from vaca.

 

Last time swimming hurt my hips/back more than any other activity.  I want to swim every moment I can.

That is purty.  I would have personally used different geometries for each brace, but mine also wouldn't look that nice :)

 I stole it from a DYI loudspeaker group.  The coolest thing I seen this week was a set of enclosures built out of marble.  Definitely enough to keep one humble. :)

Its like you read my mind.  I just got done with the pencil and MDF.  I've been sketching lines for how I want to brace.  I love this design.  I'm stealing it 100%. Thank you for saving me hours of trying to come up with an efficient use of wood by myself 

 

Pornhub usually helps me with that, but I appreciate you too.  :D

 

Just about to head out to REI and see if they have fat guy shorts.

 Always good to have a visual.  Then it's on and clacking!!

 Perhaps try some thrift stores,  preferably in a high-end part of town. A lot of times you will find stuff from last year with the tags still on it.  Especially something seasonal like that. 

90% of my clothes are second hand. LOL

What part of CO are you in @j-roadtatts?

I'm going to make a trip there this year.  Maybe we could high 5 or youh could help me permanently scar and disfigure my largest organ.

Killer deals at lowes yesterday!

$889.20 worth of tile for $62.36. Now I need 20 sheets of cement backer board, glue, and grout. 

Just got myself into a lot of work!

That's pretty smart.  This is the wrong state to find the shorts 2nd hand, especially in super fat guy sizes! Lol

I have done quite a bit tile in my days..Rock board works well on wood floors dont have to have it if on a concrete slab of course goes pretty fast and easy if you start in the middle of the room and work out after clean with vinegar diluted with water and a mop..3/8 spacers makes it easier and look more uniformed.

It's easy to spend money in those places...I dropped over $600 at Home Depot just going to pick up a ac filter and wood screws.Every time I go my wallet takes a hit.lol

No worries I have laid tile before, I am buying a little at a time. 

I will be getting 20 sheets of concrete board.

How do you track that down?

A few websites s ll the,. Honestly I am hoping to find one in a second hand shop or at a yard sale.

 

I'm also going to boost my budget when the last grant hits this week. 100 a pop is limiting me to first act, or bullshit strats mainly. I want a few more unique pieces, and some more higher end looks.

 

Bulk strats would be great for a secondary series I want to shoot. Wish I had someone at Fender, Gibson, or Dean......
