BTW, I developed a great technique for whitewashed pine paneling, when I had to do an entire house. I bought 20 gallons of water based polyurethane (big house), then had the paint store tint it White and thoroughly mix it. A couple of samples and we got the amount of White tint just right. Then I used a Graco airless sprayer to apply. No whiping down needed, and no streaks. Sealed the walls great too.

If it were a kitchen or bathroom, where one might need to whipe down the walls now and then, I'd agree with a clear sealer. In your case it would be an unnecessary expense and labor. The watered down paint will hold up just fine. I speak from experience. Great job BTW! And I agree that it would be a sin to remove that beautiful patina from the floor.

Today's adventure entails mortising 22 door blanks to fit in existing door frames. First I need to cut the blanks to proper width, as the old frames are about 1/4" smaller than the new blanks. Then I use my lockset mortising jig to drill out for the knobs. Then I use my hing mortising jig to router away the hinge inset. The self centering, spring loaded drill bit makes quick work of attaching the hinges.

$12? They're giving them away! I'll absolutely try one.

He's bullshitting all of us. Those are bites from a vampire. He's going to turn within 24 hours. We should use his own ping pong table to carve the stakes we'll drive through his vampire heart!

From all the research I was able to do, I don't believe this is the case with this. But I'm still going to disappoint everyone, because I can't think of another cordless tool that I could use, or fit in the van. This will go to restart the savings that got decimated.

I've heard that married people pull it off a lot.

Just received an unexpected stimulus check from the state of California. $600 dollars is a nice surprise any day.

Hmmm, that's where I first heard them. I was 9 and we were in Corpus Christi, TX. D.O.A. was popular on the radio. I just assumed it was popular nation wide.

It's rift sawn White Oak. No doubt about it.

I would imagine Dexter Morgan would have some extra fingers lying around.

Have a great day Renato!

Have a fantastic day!

Too damn Young! RIP Chris.

^ Uhm, OK. One from my youth...

Happy New Year!

It looks great, except for the ketchup

An Icon in every sense of the word. I was first introduced to her as Sue Ann Nivens, on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I've loved everything she's done and stood for every since.

Inspired by Nate's leftover omelet, I built this leftover scramble.

A roasted variant on a dish my Dad named Bachelor stovetop casserole. I change it up a lot. Today's particular variant is a large layer of Yukon Gold Potatoes, in a bed of olive oil and whole garlic segments, covered with a layer of large pieces of yellow onions, then a layer of red, yellow and orange bell peppers, a layer of broccoli, finished off with a layer of polska kielbasa. Olive oil drizzled on top. I like the char and flavor that roasting imparts. Yes, this is a very large batch. This will be dinner tonight, but I'll be taking the rest to a New Years eve dinner at Dorothy's tomorrow night. Yes, I'm a pig, but not that big of a pig.

True Story I avoided this for a while, thinking it wouldn't be something I'd like. I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Also watched Midnight Mass yesterday. Very Stephen King-esque.

You must be a very popular Dad.
