This Week’s Featured Pulp Improvement
Pulp Deck
Pulp Deck
There is the phrase “Let there be light” and this week on the Pulp Deck project, that’s exactly what happened! After phase 1 of the tongue and groove ceiling install over the main deck/kitchen/hang out area, it was time to get some lighting put in.
As mentioned, we had previously settled on a 6 inch recessed adjustable gimbal fixture from Halo that we’d found at the local Home Depot. Of course, they did not have the total 8 we needed for our project, but they were readily available online and it was one of those tax free weekends last week so….put that order in last Saturday morning (needed an additional 6 fixtures as we had grabbed two that were in stock for test purposes). The really good news were that they were available for free delivery that day (when does that ever happen) so we were off and running.
Also as mentioned, we did come up with a method to cut the holes required for the recess portion of install using the earlier pencil drawn placements on the ceiling and then a drill to make some holes around the template circle edge followed by “connecting the dots” with a jig saw. Even found a scrolling blade for the jig saw that cut through the tongue and groove with ease, so other than getting completely covered with saw dust (which is not the greatest feeling when it goes down your shirt), piece of cake and ready for light install!
With lights now in, it was a good time to install the cabinet doors on the L-shaped kitchen/bar unit and then get going with the ceiling tongue and groove install over the covered walkway that leads from house to deck.
Good progress for sure but had to cut the deck work week short to deal with a few other matters. Hope to be back at it sometime this coming week.

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!
