This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
What’s that saying, “there’s just not enough time in the day”? Well, I’m here to say, I totally agree! We are making tremendous progress on our Pulp Deck finish trim PVC install, and we are, oh, so close to being complete, just have a few more to go and we’ll be on to tiling the kitchen cabinets and low walls. Oh, so close!
You see, it’s an outdoor deck and not everything is 100% square (which is funny, as nothing about this 1905 house is square either) so, for the most part, all good and it’s understood, but then comes that one board you go to install…and it’s just plain wrong! So you cut it again, and once again, wrong. So you cut another…you get the point, and that rabbit hole you are going down is the path to running out of supply! You see, its just that angles can really make a mess of things, especially if those angles are involved on multiple fronts (meaning even if you account for one, the other one gets you good)! And, for some odd reason, it always seems to happen on that first board you go to put in for the day (go figure), which can completely throw you off if you don’t put a stop to it immediately!
Best advice? Draw the line, go for one last attempt, consider an alternative approach or just plain move on to the next easier one for now. It all works itself out eventually and sometimes you can use a couple wins to have things make a lot more sense than they did earlier. Remember, if you stick with it, it should all work out in the end!
That said, the transition from the exposed wood to the PVC wrap….has been nothing but stunning to see! Not sure if it is because everything got a bit thicker (size matters?) or, while getting thicker, it also got more polished and uniform, but it just, in general, looks like the presidential suite version of a deck, compared to what it was, if that makes anything sense!
Anyway, not quite done yet, but we’ll be there shortly and starting to plan for painting it all (still going with white) after a nice little run through with caulk (like grout, makes things look better). Back to work!

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!
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!
Pulp Greenhouse
As we start getting back into the video making business for our projects, bringing this one back out as we do a run through our greatest hits to date! The Pulp Greenhouse really kicked off our jump into home improvement projects and gave us a great taste of all the various skills and trade work that is needed to bring these projects home. 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!
