Try and do more updates later. Gotta go help a friend move one those old dinosaurs of a TV off a wall mount so that he can put LCD up. I think theirs is a 27 in. I have a 32 in monster in my shop that I put up using my tractor. So heavy!

Some more from April
1st pic is of the rear end cap painted,. 2nd pic is of a hole that was in the bath area rear wall by the toilet. Have no idea why it was there, was like that when I bought it. At first I thought it was a likeness of some state. 3rd picture is a tracing of the hole being transferred to cardboard so that I can make a patch piece from ABS. 4th pic shows patch piece fiberglassed in.

Bath sink and tub refinish
1st and 2nd pic are of the sink and bath prior to paint in the prep stage. I spent many hours making sure surface was pristine. 3rd pic is of the sink's first paint job and 4th pic is of the tubs first paint job. Notice I said first paint job. I first tried spraying and then rolling and then brushing a Rustoleum tub refinishing product...which did not go well. Trying to keep things in chronological order here so you will see my next attempt later.These were from end of April

Bath panels
These were from May of this year. 1st is a surprise visitor. 2nd is the bath panel that had a huge hole I had done a repair with fiberglass and ABS. Didn't look too bad before paint but it was a redo once I saw how it looked painted. Panel with the hole redone and ready for paint. 3rd is panel painted. Boring stuff , I know, but still stuff! 4th is shot of other bath panels painted along with the repaired apnel.

It's Rustoleum hammered silver in a quart can and applied with a roller. Started out using spray but it was just not covering well and would taken probably 50 cans.

Yes Matt, I have AC (Carrier Low profile 15K) but is inoperable until I can get to the point where I can hook up the AC/DC distribution panel converter combo. Can't hook that up until I make the cabinet that it will be mounted to. Soooo I'll be working in the heat. I suppose I could mickey mouse some electric to it if things become to unbearable. How's things coming with yours?
