Because the doors are tall, I went pretty heavy duty. I used KV 8092 series pocket door slides that have a pinion rod between the two sets of hinges to keep them from sagging and to keep them aligned as you open and close. Just those hinges for four doors were over $900. Given the shelves and future clothing rods, I had to make interior partition walls and KV has some additional hardware that keeps the doors properly spaced and rolling. The system is a little finicky to put all together but they work really well.

Nice caddy! I haven't been home lately and haven't done any woodworking since this cabinet project for my nephew. I can't remember what I have posted about them previously but the ask to make one or two simple cabinets to hang kids clothes morphed into a much bigger thing. Two cabinets that are almost seven feet tall, with two sets of pocket doors to save space in the small room, six foot tall basic shaker doors with inset trim I made from two different pieces of molding, and six shelves in each section and no clothes hanging. Oh, and all painted with latex enamel shot from my HVLP sprayer. Designing and building and painting these monsters kept me up at nights. Steve very astutely took a pass on this one, but thankfully agreed to install them with me. They are super happy with them and filled them with kids crap within two days.

Channeled Jim on a smaller scale -- shared a dozen raw Delaware Bay oysters and had crab croquettes and broiled oysters with pimento cheese. Not as good as the Marshall Store on the opposite coast but still tasty.

Done. Walk on Mikey!

Belated birthday greetings Tyler! Cheers!

A 48th birthday is not enough to get your cats worked up. Try to have a great day anyway! Cheers!

This. I'm not a Foo fan but they are on the Howard Stern show a lot and Taylor tended to talk as much as Dave. They were just on recently to promote their goofy horror movie and he was super upbeat and joking about the ways Dave killed him and the others in the movie. âšī¸

Sorry to hear about your losses Bryan. That's sad stuff.

Night Manager is good stuff

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! Looking forward to seeing more of you in the near future -- I was talking with JP about the need to schedule a Travel Team event soon. Maybe @Aura needs to dust off plans for a Chicago Canjam reunion now that it's been more like 12 years instead of 10 when he was promoting it back in the Before Times.

That's awesome Bryan! What fun.

i read about Renaud this morning, and that sucks. đĄ RIP William Hurt. Age 71 seems a bit young to die of natural causes these days. âšī¸ https://variety.com/2022/film/news/william-hurt-dead-kiss-of-the-spider-woman-1235203576/

I have no idea what that gif means but it's kind of Irish and your Bday is close to St. Patrick's Day so what the hell, it's the Fitz Experience! Have a great one. Cheers!

I'm in for 2lbs. I'll PayPal now. No rush. đđģ -
I'm sure one of them wants the TICE and the other one is jealous so he's trying to keep you away. Just be happy that it means you don't need to punch their lists anymore.

Hope you had a great day, Craig Cheers!

I like the vaguely Flintstones feel to it. đĨ´ I'm amazed by the difficult projects you decide to take on as your first attempt to use a tool or learn a skill. I haven't even attempted a curve on my bandsaw let alone a complicated curved box. Give yourself some time to practice before deciding you aren't good at it, and maybe pick something easier to start off.

Now watch Hitchcock's film version. Claire needs to watch it a couple of times every year, and I can join for at least one per year. đ

Doesn't matter how big the tank is if you let it get very low and cannot schedule a delivery for several days. When I was in Watertown MA our apartment oil tank ran out a couple of times and it sucked. Glad you survived, Knucks.

Hope it's been a great one Naaman! Cheers!

I feel like he's about to experience the wrong side of head control.

First indoor show since covid -- Jeff Tweedy at the Fillmore. He's added another son on backing vocals in addition to the drummer. We also found the poster for the show we saw 20 days before Sophie was born.
