Thanks. Made from scrap lumber from when I gutted our sunroom.
There's an Ikea Kallex in the middle.
And finished the equipment counter today. Raised it up 6" over kitchen counter height. Electronics tower is on a heavy duty lazy susan so I can access the back of the equipment w/o tearing everything apart. I'm no carpenter but it turned out ok. A little more trim & some caulk to hide the holes & it'll be on to building bass traps. Purchased the cabinets & the lazy susan but most of the rest is from repurposed scrap. Why waste it, right?

After it was installed and ready to go.
Ope. Must have been a hairline crack and getting jostled about finished the job. and… back to Home Depot because of course I didn’t have a 1-1/2” elbow.
Drained. Well there’s that wrench from my set that disappeared while I was working on this project.

Was that a 10mm? ;-)
Well, I spent the last 4 weeks casually laying LVP in our 3 upstairs bedrooms and hallway. I basically started the job in the fall when I pulled out the only remaining 34+ year old carpeting from our bedroom and the hall. It was too deeply pet stained to sand, so I opted for LVP as I’ve done a couple other rooms. Also, there’s no way to move our furniture to get more than one room clear in a day, so I have to move it within the room, lay flooring, move it back, and repeat until all is done. I also opted to do it in winter when I’m stuck inside from the cold.
The job itself wasn’t that hard, but the door jams were tough as it’s hard to get the joints to lock because you can’t elevate properly. Thankfully, we also donated a lot of stuff we weren’t using and gained some space too.
This was the last major project we had to do to get our house ready to sell, and now we can enjoy it until we decide the time is right to sell.
Here’s a few pics along the way.

Others might see the removed fenceposts in this picture.
But I notice there are no cars, neither sedans nor SUV's parked at the neighbor's house today.

The wiff said: "New living room tables, please."
"Do they have to match?"
"Hell no! Better not! Nothing that looks 'furniture store'."
So I dug into the stupid-ass hoard of hardwoods, picked a screwy mix, and:
And a new top for the kitchen table:
