Interesting handle and stop letting unicorns have their raves there, they are barfing glitter on your floor.
Braided rods that was clamped and then twisted. Only 2 if I remember correctly. One long bend and one separate rod thru the twist and repeat overlapping. Took 2 tries as the first one wasn't straight enuf. Lol that floor needs a new coat of that epoxy stuff badly. Cant get those fine metal shavings outta the carpets.

A mop and bucket would fix the cheese wiz and jiz.

Much appreciated! I worked at a steel fab and supply shop at the time so I was able to put a lot more time into it than others. I look at that sometimes and it makes me want to get a mig welder. They made us learn stick welding for that too. Most people only had access to stick in class. After work I was using the mig instead. I know how to use stick but it aint purdy.

What are the two tabs on the sides? For tools? I like it.
I don't think they had a purpose. I had found them in the recycle bin at work and thot they looked cool on the side. The L brackets on the bottom were out of the bin too. Laser table had all kinds of weird shapes left for the bin. I did put the small wire rack on the side for a towel or tool hanger. I guess you could use a small S link and hang tools from the tabs as well.

I’m gonna rock a 33” farmhouse sink. Need to make up my mind by tomorrow morning if i’m doing a single bowl or double bowl. I’ve always had a double bowl.
but a big ass single bowl for pots and pans and shit would be bad ass. But i’m weird as fuck and still like rinsing the crap off dishes before soaking them and usually doing them by hand. Hardly use the dishwasher.
What to do?

kind of building a spec home here too though so keep that in mind. 2yrs in the new house and i’m fucking out.
@Metasynth you’d rock a single bowl if you only had one sink rite?
Oh you fucking know it! One bigass sink that can fit the largest of pots and pans. Most definitely, my friend!

I always find that when someone has a two compartment sink, one side is usually neglected WAAAAY more than the other...be it by a dish rack, or that’s the side they “soak” dishes in. It becomes a grimey mess compared to the “clean” side where they actually wash the dishes.

I have a dish rack that sits on the counter next to the sink, and drains into the sink, but leaves the sink empty to wash dishes as I cook. Easier to keep a one compartment sink clean and orderly, in my opinion.

Moved to a new place, and started a new job doing maintenance and landscaping at state/local parks. Part of that job is trapping squirrels. I'll put out like 40-50 of these traps in the morning - and they'll be full within a few hours. The thing is, the company expects me to put anything I catch into a big chamber they rigged up and gas them! They say it's painless, but it's actually more like slowly drowning (one of the most terrifying experiences you can have). Their gripe is that they do lots of property damage digging tunnels and shit, but I'm thinking like "you built this place on top of their fucking home! are you just going to commit genocide anytime a certain animal is an inconvenience?"

So, for the last couple months I've been running a sort of squirrel underground railroad - catching these angry, furry little dudes, then sneaking them a few at a time into a crate in the back seat of my pickup and releasing them at a fire road near the entrance when I leave at the end of the day.

I just fill out the forms saying I exterminated however many I caught that day, and make jokes like "yeah, if you'd just put a rifle in my hand I could get two months of work done in a couple hours haha!" and so far no one has suspected a thing...

I fucking love you, I miss you, and my heart is warmed now that I know you are doing well.
