This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
We recently spoke of being able to “pivot” on projects, especially when needs, opportunities and circumstances arise. I guess it does help to have a few different projects going at the same time (not that I am suggesting that as a goal)! Whatever the case, here we are with those multiple projects, aka, the Pulp Deck, Walkway and Main Bedroom projects all sort of existing in some shape or form. As mentioned, two of those will soon be weather dependent as we head into the fall and winter seasons (truth be told, we may experience a slight freeze overnight tonight, so it is happening).
Anyway, as we left off, we had gotten a nice jump on the stone tile install for the Pulp Deck kitchen and low wall last week, back at it again this week. Tile now going in on cabinet face aides and the bar shelf. So far so good, lots of cuts with the cabinets and all but progressing nicely! We also decided to go with a wood finish on the small bar face and under counter (see pics) using some of our leftover Douglas Fir boards from the deck itself. Figured working in a little wood with the tile would be a nice contrast and guess what? It sure is, looks very nice!
With tile continuing, we also got the first coat of paint on the cedar shingles we had installed at the top of the deck ceiling exterior, painting near complete. Timing could probably not be better as we have three very nice days in the forecast for next week which should allow us to finish tile and paint on the Pulp Deck, leaving us in very good shape for next year. We’ll, of course, still be grilling for most of the winter, only draw that line when it starts getting below freezing consistently (hoping that does not happen, go El Niño)!
Our other endeavors this week focused mainly on the Main Bedroom renovation, since we are currently having the driveway re-paved by professionals and until that is complete, need to hold off on the walkway (the two intersect, so need paving done first). Managed to get some paint/priming done, halfway through installing new crown molding, closet is near complete and ordered a nice piece of granite for a fireplace hearth! We’ll share more pices of that once we get back in full time on it.
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!
