Message:: [QUOTE="TIF, post: 1794958, member: 56859"]I'm all about the DIY. Move over, Martha, lemme show you how it's done. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have so many tools, so much equipment, so many hobby doodads that my place is like Home Depot + Michaels. The condo I'm in was a mid 70's nightmare. Baby poo brown single-basin lavatory sink. Mirrored bi-fold closet doors. Terrible kitchen layout. Had someone gut it to down to concrete and retile the floor. I did the rest. All the cabinets, plumbing, most of the electric, mosaic tiling, etc. My favorite tool was the hammer drill. Looks like a machine gun, was really fun to use. Walls, floors, ceiling are all concrete and I had a lot of conduits to re-route. Hello hammer drill! Designed and built the cabinets from scratch. For the first two years living I lived in a construction zone and I was the lone worker. During that time all I had in here was a twin bed, a couple of rusty chairs and a plastic table, a 10 foot panel saw, piles of bamboo plywood, lumber, glass mosaic tile, wire, tools everywhere. Kitchen cabinets, kitchen island, a 16' run of cabinetry and closets in the guest hall, wall system with Murphey bed, yadda yadda. All with tons of drawers. 50+ drawers. Man I was sick of making those drawers.[/QUOTE]
