This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
It’s official. We’ve just confirmed that we will be having family and friends over for the 4th of July (next week), so, guess what? Full court press to get the Pulp Deck into at least a semblance of “looking good” for the occasion!
Believe I have mentioned that the deck is currently fully functional, in that, the grill and pizza oven are both cooking, the sauna and hot tub, also cooking (just in a different way!), furniture in place, so plenty of seating and room to spread out, outdoor speakers up and running (best bet is we’ll be listening to “Yacht Rock” on Sirius XM, which, if you are not familiar with it, is basically easy listening beach music) and we have a plethora of outdoor games/activities available, including but not limited to Corn hole, Croquette, Bocci Ball and a gigantic wood block Jenga set!
While much of the week was spent planning for the event, we also were able to install an outdoor shower which can be used as a rinse off before getting in the hot tub or as a cool down after getting out of the sauna, very cool (see adjacent pic). We also picked up some storage rack units for inside the cabinets (Container Store) as we’ll be unable to get anything of size in there after the countertops go on (wanted to keep the doors small to emphasize the recently ordered exterior cabinet tile (stay tuned). I should mention, as well , that we put the order in for the countertops, going with a black granite, and they just did the measurements for the templates, so hoping to have them installed within the next 10 days or so. Unfortunately, they probably won’t be ready for the 4th so we have come up with an alternative plan to use PVC post wraps (we’ll be covering all of the uprights with these eventually) as temp counters so thinking that should look pretty nice and also allow us to repurpose the boards for future use!
Last, we continue to add our “critter proof” screening at the base (chicken wire attached to frame that goes about 12 inches into the ground below). Not that we have a problem with the bunnies that currently live under the deck, just want to avoid the more unpleasant critters that may move in at a later date (totally thinking skunk here)!
Some progress pics adjacent and below. Should have some great pre-get together pics to share next week, see you then!

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!
