Wow! What an awesome job you've done, 0mg Meniere! Here are the pictures of the trunk project that she sent me. Sorry, I tried resizing them, but they still are looking big on here.







I hope that I have them in the correct order. If not, let me know. :)

They look in the correct order to me. Wonderful, 0mg! It'll look really special, I'm sure. Thanks for posting the photos, Tina.

I don't generally subscribe to the idea that people are responsible for the sins of their ancestors, but in this case repairing my mother's mistake has been a joy.

The first two pix were actually taken at the same time. After discovering what paint removal was going to entail, I concentrated on the back. Once I discovered that the damage to the original finish was too severe for an authentic restoration, I decided to go for an approximate one, keeping the black and grey color theme. Yesterday I was doing the black detail-work. It is waiting for the new leather handles. Then I will get the inside done. Then I will make a decision on the finish for the outside wood-work,

When we were negotiating the property part of the estate, my sister made me promise I would take good care of it. No problem. :p

Thanks, Tina. :toast:

It's a great addition to our recent pirate theme. Doesn't it remind you of the trunks that would hold pirate booty?

Boy did I have to do a LOT of reading to catch up! One thing for sure, I laughed all the way through! Hope Jerry won't be a stranger and come back regularly! He's so much fun! :laugh:

Great to see you posting here again Awsum and thanks for that reminder.

I hope everyone will enjoy their 4th of July celebrations whatever they will be. :)

You could use a trunk for pirate booty, or you could do this:

Do you notice that the landlords painted the sidewalk? I chose green for the bench and chair, so they would blend in. So they repainted the sidewalk red which contrasts with the bench and chair. He got a bit of red on the bench, and I got paint remover residue on it too, so I am going to have to repaint that.

Red sidewalk?? :facepalm: That is a part of their cultural heritage, I guess.

Good morning volties and a happy 4th of July! I hope the Americans on this thread have their flags out waving on this glorious day!

This is day one of the full on renovation office project. I have a couple of baseboards to remove, then I have to prep for painting. I finally made the decision to throw away the chair that was in here since my dog house guests a few months ago decided to use it as a toilet. I didn't want to buy furniture, but this is giving me the opportunity to do so. The dump pile is growing and I'll have to rent a little uhaul to get it all out of here!

I hope everyone has a great day. I have pandora on, listening to jazz while I work. I'll be on later. Enjoy your BBQ's or whatever you're doing today!

Have you seen, "The Host?" Good movie and great book! I have loved Sci-Fi since I was a kid. I think I read all the classic Sci-Fi books they had at the library! The original "V" was my favorite, I would write fan fiction about the characters in the TV series. I think I threw all those writings out, though.

"The Host" was a great book but I haven't seen the movie. I read the "Twilight" series as well. The movies were just ok. Sometimes I'm disappointed in how a book is interpreted for film. If possible, I would rather see the film before reading the book. If I enjoyed the film then I know I will love the book.

I don't know if you have read As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, but James Franco is directing a movie based upon it. It should be quite interesting because the book was odd.

I should add, if you haven't read it and you watch the trailer to the movie, you'll swear there's a rape scene but it's not. You would have to get the whole story really.

Try to fit some enjoyment into that busy schedule today Tail! :)

We are having steamed crabs later this evening... The first time for the season. :p

I'm not familiar with the title but I like William Faulkner. I'll read the book description on Amazon. I really enjoy stories with an unusual twist.

I definitely suggest the book over the movie then. A Rose for Emily and the others that I've read were great, but this one was narrated by so many people you have to continue reading.
