I just love outdoor kitchens. I built this for one of my customers. http://d-dsouza.blogspot.ca/2011/08/living-space-outdoor-kitchen.html

I just built a Front Porch for a customer this Summer and installed LED's on the stair. Here's some pics of the build. You will have to scroll all the way to the end for the dusk shots.

I made this 'Solitaire Table' in 2007. I have since stained it.

Hi Louisa, I recently helped my aunt and her husband install Trafficmaster Allure flooring in their basement. They are in their sixties and they completed the install all by themselves after I showed them how the first few go down. The flooring was laid on top of DriCore panels. It's been a couple of months now and the floor still looks very good with no signs of wear. In my opinion, the look and feel is closer to hardwood than the laminate flooring that I had installed in my basement. Additionally, by nature of it being vinyl, it makes for a waterproof floor. Perfect for the kitchen.

Hi Lazy Lurker. Thanks. The numbers did not really cost me anything save for the can of spray paint and the standoffs. The ply was from remnants.

I just finished ripping my 600 CDs into 320 kbps mp3 files. Took a long time.... For me, more important than the actual ripping was the playback. The music sits in a 1 TB NAS and on the main level of the house, I've shoehorned a squeezebox player along with powered speakers into an old tube radio that was beyond repair. You can see the unit in action here. http://bit.ly/aZO7yA. On the lower level where we have the TV and my bigger sound system, I went with something a little more complex. I've mounted a monitor into an old Turntable I got from the Goodwill store. This gives me the front end for Album Player (www.albumplayer.com) and it looks great next to my fully functional turntable. For now, I use a cordless mouse to make the selections. I hope to upgrade to a touchscreen when resources allow. The PC that runs the monitor, outputs though optical to my Pre-Amp. Turntable build is here. http://bit.ly/9gBHWS

Apart from poorly taken photographs, I find Craigslist limiting in the size of the pictures that they allow you to post in the listing. After having spent the time to take great photos, there is a workaround to get higher resolution pictures into your craigslist listing. You would need to host your pictures on Flickr first and then copy the picture's URL and paste it into the listing.
This is a listing that I did for my wife. I used the medium setting, but you could use any setting offered.

The Beatles probably did not make the cut because they were honored with their own stamp set in 2007. I managed to get hold of the First Day Cover in Canada when the Royal Mail had sold out their entire offering.

I'm not a 'stamp collector', but have collected a few of the Belgium Post, USPS and Royal Mail's offering to use as art.

Here is a picture of the Beatles stamps.

I got my wife a Precision Tool Chest that she uses to store her Jewelery.

Hello. I had the same dilemma this Christmas. We were to have my cousins and their partners over for a Christmas dinner but our current dining table only seats 6. Using the existing feet, I bought 3 lengths of 2 x 12 x 12' SPF from the 'Depot' and made a 12' x 36" table that suited our purpose perfectly. You can see some of the construction pictures here http://whathanasius.blogspot.com/2009/01/pimp-my-dining-table.html
