Removing Fake Shutters

Oi! Who in the world thought of fake shutters? One of the most
disgusting "embellishments" of modern home design. Okay they aren't
that bad but I find them highly annoying. So off they come!

And the walls come tumblin' down!

Making room for my big 'ol Buick!

Garage Door finally installed!

In less than 5 hours a one man army by the name of Tony installed my 18' wide x 7' tall garage door all by himself. He did an excellent job and was very nice, explained everything and was very professional. Thank you Lowe's!

Movie Seats are Finished!

Yes, that is underlighting. I installed rope lighting on the underside
of the platform. It looks totally awesome in total darkness. (camera
doesnt do well in low light, so i had turn on some other lights)
Juuuuuust enough ambient light to grab some popcorn or steal a kiss
from you S.O.!

"Stage" for movie seats

About to finish it up. Got the electrical working nicely with rope
lighting. The "stage" has a nice floating effect and looks great with
the hidden rope lighting. I'll post pics of that once it's all complete.

Frame for restored movie seats

So while I was in Nashvile I scored a set of rickety old movie seats
for $50. Right before I moved to Athens I took them completely apart,
de rusted them, reupholstered, repainted the hardware and restained
the wooden arm rests. They came out beautiful. Alas i had to keep the
parts in boxes as I haven't had a proper place to put them/show them
off until now that I have a house. The thing is they connect to one a
other and are extremely cumbersome and heavy to move around. So I got
the idea that I would build a mini stage to bolt them to and give them
a place to reside as I do t want to go drilling holes in the floors of
my house. So I've taken some pics of the progress. I haven't decided
how I'm going to finish them. I thought of using red carpet to go with
the whole movie them, but I really can't stand carpet and red won't
look good in the living room. So I'm thinking of staining it a dark
stain to match the arm rests. What do ya think?

Back to fencing

While I wait on Lowes to install the garage I'm moving back to working
on the fence. The dogs can't wait!
