Shelf Hung for TV Component Next to a Flat Panel TV

I Made Some Shelf Brackets Out of a Chair. They Now Hold the Shelf which Holds the TV Components for Our Living Room’s TV.

So we got this chair, teak, with three others just like it, and it was originally in better shape.  We got the matching table too as a hand-me-down from my dad and his wife.  (We wonder sometimes even at 40 why we are subject to the h-m-d, but nonetheless . . . thanks guys.)   While it sat neatly [...]

But really, from the get go, this one was simply a no brainer for me. Owens Corning ihmo kills it (in a good way) with their marketing on this one. While they likely had my moxiful self at . . . “Many people are quick to admit they lack the confidence to tackle home improvement projects. . . . “ The DIY Guy campaign sealed the deal. Haven’t seen it . . . ? Well . . . my post on it >> Building Moxie: This Here DIY Guy. Or . . .

Happy Merry Holiday Ho Ho :: A ShoutOut from Building Moxie & Friends

18
No families atexting, no cats awrapped and no reefs, I mean -- no wreaths. No big bows of red or houses lit, uggh! the power surges -- good grief. Cyber Monday, and the shopping guides, the businesses going for revenue black. This time of year, it's Santa's Yo! he kills it, for sure, just like a heart attack. Maybe you saw, Rudolf and Charlie and Frosty, too, they had their time on channel 8. Don't forget the man JC, a carpenter, the son -- if you roll like that, He's great. The halls fully decked and the stockings well hung, it's time to share and to laugh, what funz. Forget the decorations, peace on earth today, this holiday for kickin' it, you and yours, and for bidding Twenty-Twelve "Good day." [ . . . ]

    Formstone on a Baltimore Rowhome

    BMoxies 1st Ever Photo Week – Day 2 (the Polyester of Brick)

    Generically known as “formstone” a sort of “stamped stucco” remains on the street-facing exterior of many (row)homes in Baltimore, Maryland. It was applied widely from the 1930s to the 1960s. But as many of Baltimore’s urban areas experienced renewal in the late ’90s-early ’00s it became the norm to remove the now/then archaic finish. I have heard it said that formstone spread as wildly as a band-aid fix for the “cheap brick” used in the construction of many rowhomes. Rumor has it that some of these homes, built in the early part of the 20th century, employed brick salvaged from Baltimore’s Fire of 1904. [ . . . ]
