This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
And just like that (okay, it took few weeks), the Pulp Deck kitchen and low wall stone tile is complete! Feeling very good about that as again, we are soon to be dealing with temperatures that will not be conducive to outdoor tiling installs. Mission accomplished!
Sure, there are some touch ups to do, we were left with a few gaps here and there, that we’ll try and fill with silicone grout, mainly at the inside corners, just due to the fact that it is an uneven edge and extremely thick tile. Fortunately, they sell the silicone grout in tubes and multiple colors so you can install with a caulk gun. We’ve got quite a bit of leftover tile cuts from the job so we can sample away with the colors and see what works and matches best with those contrasting shades of stone.
Things left to do? We still want to get another coat of paint on the front facing cedar shingles, a couple of our cabinet doors have swelled in size from past heat waves (we’ll plane them down to a final fit size and re-install) and last, but not least, sometime early next spring we’ll get a couple more good coats of stain on the deck as it pretty much only had the one initial coating, and that took a beating while we did the rest of the construction. Later, we’ll be setting up the “smoker” on the patio portion (where the hot tub was relocated to) and potentially building a surrounding low seating area connected to existing deck.
Maybe some more decor type features (please note the “hoot owl” on the back low wall), definitely some string lights somewhere (haven’t exactly figured that one out yet) and perhaps one of those outdoor propane heating units just to take the chill off in the winter (we’ll still be grilling)!
Overall, we are looking great and could not be more happy with the work done to date! Starting on the Pulp Walkway next week so please tune back in to see how that goes.
Progress pics below, see you next week!

Nothing at All
A long time ago, in a small apartment in New York City, I was listening to a Prince song, simply called “7” and I was very much getting into the sound of the guitar playing, and what I perceived as an “open” chord strum, aka, just hitting those strings with no fingers applied (forgive me if that was mistaken). I tried to work that into something, and came up with a riff that I thought was pretty catchy. Not 100% sure what mood I was in at the time but decided that “you don’t need Nothing at All” was a good premise and ran with it. Years later, and also during the pandemic, decided it was a good time to rebuild it. Got busy with my wonderful musician friends and a new version it was.
Hope you enjoy!
The 1800 Project
Yes, it has been awhile since we mentioned the 1800 Project, however, we’ve recently completed the part 2 trailer for the feature length and down the road video for the complete project. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, The 1800 Project Part Deux (the finish). Enjoy!
Pulp Gameroom
Another video from the archives, this is all about taking a room with some nasty carpet with old paint on walls and converting it into a game room paradise (at least for us)! We stripped the space down to the concrete floor/bare walls and then went full steam ahead with the LVT flooring, patch/paint on walls/ceiling, new light bulbs and then the pool table, dart board, TV, a neon light and a bunch of cool wall art. Enjoy!
The Ray Harm and Guy Coheleach Limited Edition Prints Prints
We recently mentioned that we had been gifted a fine collection of Ray Harm and Guy Coheleach “limited edition” art prints which we intend to eventually sell here from the website (will be setting up a page in our shop collection). Currently doing a complete inventory of what we have and documenting all of that. Wanted to share a little taste of what we are talking about so will feature a pic or two each week until we get that shop page up and running. This week’s sample print below!
