just what the holy fuck is that abomination of a tv?
please say you're leaving that pos in RI.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

We're gonna need a whole new thread for that conversation.

Necro-bump.

Well, here it is early Feb 2019 and the room is still in its incomplete, unrenovated state.  I did have a contractor come out, but the estimate was ridiculous, well, well over $10k.  This, and some second thoughts about whether the house is a "forever home" or even somewhere where we'll stay long enough to make extensive renovations cost-effective, has completely stalled my thinking on what to do.

I had decided to try to do the work myself.  I watched some videos on installing drywall, and it looks time-consuming but not that hard.  But then...there's this door that leads outside on the front side of the room that I want to remove...and so every time I am about ready to start I am overwhelmed by figuring out how to start.

So...all of that is to say that I am going to go cheap.  Right now I can't use the room properly for anything and I've had enough.  The plan is to paint the walls and ceiling, and install some laminate flooring.  I had an electrician come out about two months ago and take all the shop lights out, so right now there are no lights on the ceiling.  I'm not going to let this slow me down.

We're going to go with a gray wood on the floor, dark blue on the walls, and a mocha on the ceiling.  I am probably going to clean up the beams and re-paint them a nice dark brown. 

I don't know what the final result is going to look like, but almost anything is going to be an improvement on the way it looks right now.  I've gotta get this thing done so I can get my stuff out of the boxes in the garage and into their permanent homes....for now at least.

BTW, I gave the TV to the movers.  LOL.
