Okay, I'll start. Right now I am taking a break from ironing on pre-glued melamine strips onto the outside edges of all of the melamine doors I had cut for the kitchen. After ironing they have to be quickly trimmed with a cutter or the edges crack (yes the doors are black, no jokes please ). Why melamine? It's cheap and I don't own the house. This job sucks - I never even iron clothes unless I absolutely have to.

You should make a detailed account of your home renovations, including pictures & videos for everyone to see here @ voivodfan.

As a community, we should all stick together and show each other what our homes look like. (take note: some 'evil' people just want to see it for a good laugh, oh but not me... never!)

Mez seems to think it's a good idea as well.

Is it me or is he running the ductwork for the stove exhaust fan
right through the top shelf?

It's called an attic, pal: crawl in it, experience it, learn to love it. (I did)
Then you will have more room for the dishes.

(nice shirt, though!)

I thought they did. Oh wait, that's Noiro! LOL! That's a pretty Texas-esque thing to say there Kula!

Renovations suck! I always end up hurting myself or breaking shit. We are renovating our house now and so far I've dropped a TV, broke a window, and cut & bruised myself so many times I look like I got beat up! Top it off with the sad fact that my pad still looks shitty and you have a classic X-D renovation project.

Best of luck to you guys! I am also feeling your pain!

Now look here, that duct was there long before the Mexican, Señor Fix-It, got to it. And there is an apartment on the floor above which means no attic. That may be why the duct was installed in the cupboard. I don't know, I'm still trying to figure out how many spiders constitutes an infestation. I vacuumed about a billion out of the basement and now I'm sure they're all in the bag planning an attack. Probably something along the lines of that movie that William Shatner made in '77 called "Kingdom of the Spiders." Most of the time I think spiders are an admirable part of the insect world, keeping the fly population down etc., but when they try to take over your basement the little mutha's have got to be shown. Which vacuum's mine little spider? Mine's the one that says Bad Mother Fucker on it.

A while back I remember being confronted by a horde of spiders in my basement (there were like 5 of them!!! It was horrible) and I found the perfect solution. Grab the nearest hairspray bottle and lighter and start flaming the mother fuckers.

Now every time they see me, they run for their lives. I told them: stay outside and I won't touch you, be inside the house, and it's squishing time. They should stick to catching bugs and entertain cats on the outside.[They make wonderful kitty treats]

The worst is when you find those little ones... those are babies... babies mean that that whore is around somewhere, and if there's one baby, there's a million more just watching you, waiting for you to turn your back for just one second.

Don't let your guard down! Ever!!

Proud to be a spider serial killer since 1977!

That was great Tango. Think I could buy a bad MoFo at Walmart? I need something to pick up Spike's fleas in this shack.

It is a fact that during a lifetime, the average person will eat/swallow about two dozens spiders while sleeping... ick

Yup, like the feature on Exodus in Kerrang!, circa mid-90's. During these hard times for Bay Area's finest the guys ran a roof-tile repair business.

Pic #1 - Exodus, riffing in '84!
Pic #2 - Exodus, roofing in '94!

Maldoror, if you're refering to NoItAll's pic at the top of this thread, would that make it the "Blowercrack" ?

You guys need a taller ladder 'fore someone gets hurt.

In addition, I've been selling paint for 14 years. I always tell my customers that the only thing worse than selling it, is putting it on. Then I smile and wave as they leave.

Yes I'm referring to the top picture, and to the "Plumber's Buttcrack Syndrome" (or PBS).
