Coming along nicely [emoji106] tell me Mark, do you use The Beast, or The Machine, to pickup lumber..? I’m just imagining pictures of The Machine hauling lumber, and it’s hilarious. [emoji1787][emoji6]

Haha. The Machine isn’t the best for that job mainly due to the fact there’s no longer a full 4’ between wheel wells or I would have used it for the drywall and plywood. The Beast doesn’t have 4’ either though so for that I borrowed a buddys truck, and borrowed him too since I needed help ripping the 3/4” and 1 1/8” plywood. Everything else goes into The Beast. Actually now that I discovered Home Depot will rip the plywood for me for free, I use The Beast for that too. I would have loved to air out The Machine and load Sheetrock in it, just to see the looks. I would have acted like it was a normal thing.

Just need to build some framework sections that fit around your pans to create a platform in your bed!

I did sign and date the old cabinet saying I refinished it. I forgot to do that on the back of the workbench but I’ll do it on the inside. I did get the top finished, primed and painted. I still have to finish a bit on the interior and stain it with the same deck stain I used on the old school one. And the sliding doors are still to come but I don’t have the tracks yet and I’ll wait until I install those in order to get the panel sizes. They’ll just be 1/4” thick, the thickness of the panel itself. The overhead doors I got done, they had to be 3/4” thick for the bypass hardware so I added pieces around the edges for that purpose plus for effect. They came out pretty good.

And the new W/D came today. They’re nice plus more stuff to connect to my WiFi network. Kinda cool to be able to control them with my phone or tablet, and to get notifications when a wash load is ready for the dryer or when my ***** dry, so I can grab it before it wrinkles. But I did my first load without using steam to dry so I had to use a wrinkle removing steam cycle afterwards. Stuff came out perfect. And the things look awesome too. They call it black steel and I think it looks like a GM color lol.

Thanks. I finished the upper cabinet and didn’t feel like waiting for my buddy to help me get it on the wall so I improvised. The dog wasn’t impressed but oh well. I did it in steps, first up off the floor, then onto the workbench and then up. I had the studs marked out and holes drilled in the back of the cabinet, all ready to go. I liked doing it like this- I could adjust the height until it was just right.You've got a really nice set up there Mark. You got skills my friend
