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!
This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
Sometimes you need some down time! In this case, I recently had a medical procedure performed that has put a slight limit on my ability to lift anything more than 10 pounds for a few days, which put a significant dent in our Pulp Deck project progress this past week (and probably into next week as well). No worries, procedure went well and this is nothing more than a little healing time just to make sure we continue down the correct path, we’ll be back at it before you know it!
That all said, we did get going on the remaining column PVC wraps (using those boards we had put into play as the temp prep and bar counters). Slight challenge as it turns out the PVC boards come up approximately one quarter inch larger than the 6” × 6” posts on one side when you do the actual wrap. Not wanting to slice that quarter inch off of the boards (the finish edges are just very nice and it would be a shame to cut them), I decided to cut strips of quarter inch plywood and attach them to one side of the post, which actually worked and for the most part, we have fairly even box wraps on the ones complete to date. For the record, I’d like to mention that the 6” × 6” posts are themselves, not exactly square, so it is near impossible to get perfect edges on the wraps. Just saying!
Anyway, doing the measuring for remaining wrap PVC boards and also for the tongue and groove wood planks we’ll be using for the ceilings. Plan is to make a nice big order and get it all delivered in one or possibly two trips, as the back and forth trips to Lowe’s and Home Depot tend to eat up some time plus we’ll be going with longer length pieces on these (aka, just don’t write fit in the back of the pick up).
If you’ve scrolled down this far, you will have seen that we finally posted a video of the “finish out” of the 1800 Project, just a quick trailer thing but you’ll get the gist if you have a look. Yes, it’s been awhile since we finished that one but video completion has been on my back burner for a bit so hope you 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!
