This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
Just a casual thought that has crossed my mind this week….what happened to spring? Don’t know about you, but here in the Northeast we’ve gone from cool and occasionally raining (sort of in drought territory at the moment, unfortunately) to straight up hazy, hot and humid! And it seems like it happened pretty much overnight. Careful what you wish for, right?
Anyway, not complaining, it’s just a tad hot when working outside as we have pretty much shifted priorities to the Pulp Deck Project. Okay, still doing a few touch ups on the Pulp Bath Reno 2, mostly working on the approach hallway outside of the space, new light fixture, wall patches where they were opened up for the electric upgrade done earlier this year, and prepping for the soon to be added wall paper. Also, one small section of tile still to go in the room as we wait on the new “skin” for the exposed vanity to come in from cabinet makers (remember, we had to raise that end of the vanity due to floor not being level, plus the end panel that came with it had a couple cracks in it). All to be done soon enough, perfect work for a rainy day!
So it was back outside, and full court press on the Pulp Deck. As you may recall, we finished off the new patio portion last week. Ended up having a couple of the larger 2’ x 3’ granite pavers left over, so what better thing to do than to cut them down and install as a walkway from the patio next to the house out to the deck? Now we have the alternative path to get to deck and still keep your footwear mud free on those wet occasions!
Next up, the need to clad the steel framed outdoor kitchen counter/bar area so we can get our countertops and do the tiling. For the cladding, using 1/4” Fiberock from USG which is strong, water resistant and fairly easy to work with (and a nice underlayment for tile). For the tile, going with a patterned stone prefabbed style, with a white to brown color mix (stay tuned, will share the pics as we get going with it). Currently working on a solution for how to make doors and tile all work together (the tile itself is about 3/4” thick and you need a little room for door hinges and a proper swing. Think we’ve got that figured out but going to pick up some required parts today to see how it is going to look in real life!
This just in, weatherman says low humidity today (still going to be near 90, but we’ll take it), time to get busy!
Some progress pics adjacent and 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!
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!
