w2's

Where are my goddam w 2 's? Everyone is telling me about all the money they are scoring. Every day, I scurry home, only to find the latest val-u-pak coupon bundle sitting lonely in the mailbox.

It's disheartening.

Monday is big item trash pickup day. That is our annual holiday where we clear out the garage of all the shit collected in the previous year. This year's theme was jeep parts. I put a craigslist add up for 4 times and rims. In less than an hour I had received about 34 phone calls.

2 guys showed up in a beatup pickup. I knew I had a winner. We loaded up the tires and then I said, "Hey I've got some other stuff.....". We unloaded some motor mounts, transmission mounts, the bumper is gone and I can see the floor again.

Now that I have room I can wake up early tomorrow and drive around the neighborhood to see if anyone set out some treasures....

I've been working on this one for the past few weeks, found the idea in a catalog and had an extra canvas. Notice the striped blanket. It was found, of course. All the stuff that I own which is more than 3 years old is shit that I have found all the way. It's odd how that works out.

The bathroom now. I detextured the ceiling. It was a bitch, don't believe what you see on tv. I sanded down the cabinet, restained it and acid stained the floor. I need a to put in a new countertop and sink, then it will be done for awhile..........

I've been hard at work on this, it took about 2 weeks to do. I found the idea in a magazine and just happened to have a ginourmous canvas laying around. It turned out pretty good and fits into this room well.
