This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
So yes, it is now full into fall, and yes, temps have dropped a little bit (had our first overnight in the 30’s last week, brrrr!), but you know what? Daytime and sunlight go a long way this time of year and it was a great week to get busy with our stone tile install on the Pulp Deck Project!
As luck would have it, painter Gil was called to another project for the week so we had plenty of working room to jump in on the stone tile install. Plan is to do all of the low wall and outdoor kitchen cabinets with this very cool stone tile pattern we picked up from the good folks at Floor and Decor (see adjacent and below pics). Basically, they are 1/2” to 3/4” thick rectangular pieces of varying colored stone and are layered together in a sheet 27” wide by 6” tall with a 3” overlapping piece on each end (helps reduce the seems) and other than being fairly heavy, you apply much like you would any other type of wall tile (all-set mortar on wall/back of tile, stick tile on wall), making the appropriate cuts where needed to get around objects (outlet boxes and vents), and then start at the bottom and work your way up!
What can I say? We are extremely happy with the look and results so far! Just to be safe, we started on the back of the kitchen low wall (you know, things happen!) but for the most part, fairly smooth sailing. This kind of tile goes on fast (other than the cuts and working around things) and you tend to make up a lot of coverage area quickly, which is nice! I can tell you that we are fully aware of the dropping temps outside and the goal is to be complete with the Pulp Deck Project prior to the end of outdoor work season!
I think we can do it. Mind you, we also intend to complete the Pulp Walkway project as well, that one a little less contingent on temps (no adhesives involved that need heat to dry), mostly just cutting and setting brick so anything above freezing is technically “go time”. Fingers crossed!
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!
