Evening fugee's and GFY
Tonight is the first night since august 12'th when the flood waters came in that I been able to stay in my house. Going to sleep on an air mattress in my living room but it will be in MY house!!!!!!!!!!!
I lost all my furniture except a solid oak head board I made years ago, an old secretary hutch/desk that use to belong to my grandpa and a coffee table so I had to have some way of stashing and storing crap that was savable. So I made a shelve/pantry unit in my bathroom. I only had a upper kitchen cabinet above the fridge and one attached to it and been planning for years to make more and never got around to it. Today I put the finishing touches on upper custom hand made kitchen cabinets the are 3 ft by 8 ft. Plenty of storage room now. I still need to make 5 doors for the bathroom panty unit and the doors for the upper kitchen cabinets and do the staining on them.
Next on the agenda is to make some kitchen base cabinets. I have an 8 ft run I am going to start on tomorrow. They was store bought cabinets but they was made out of particle board and being under a couple foot of water for over a day has destroyed them. What I will build will be hand made from ply wood and should come out real sweet.
I got real lucky with my TV. I turned it on after the flood and it lit up but that was it, no picture at all, just a few lights on it. Today I did away with the power strip it was on and replaced it and the TV came right on, been watching netflix on it all day while working so I got lucky there. Saved me $400 for a new TV
