Due to my hearing loss I don't listen to radio at all in the car or anywhere else for that matter and very little TV anymore. I even got the sound turned off on my computer and just watch whatever without any sound. Closed captioning goes to fast for me to rerad it so that isn't on either. Still better to be deaf than blind in my opinion.

You are right. I am sure my blind son would rather be deaf.
 
Put some pulls on the cabinets today. One job I would hate doing everyday.

Nick, you must have an awesome sound system. Mine isn't working anymore. Mice chewed the wires, I lost the remote for the box, and I have no clue how to use it. My father was the one who knew how it operated. He used it to play Bach music (before that he had a beautiful old record player that he would use to play Bach on weekends- he'd just sit back and relax while he watched us run around the room "dancing").

Looks like a lot of work, Don. Also, is that cabinet made of flooring or is it just lined with it on the outside?

The hassle with my insurance company has already begun. I'm thinking of complaining to corporate about the local agent and how lazy & dismissive she was. Towing guy said she was just being lazy. He also agreed to do an estimate which should be ready sometime today. I decided to look up parts on rockauto to see if I could get price quotes and find out if he can get stuff cheaper or not. The prices weren't so bad until it calculated shipping.

You see what's wrong with this picture? WTF, guys. W T F ?!

What brand is it Nick?
I used to work in a high end stereo store in Willow Grove PA around 1986

Z , I just installed thin engineered hardwood on the side of it , to dress it up.
 
I’m not fimilar with that one.
They had a turntable that went for $10,000
They sold mono ( 1 channel so you need 2 of them) power amplifiers for $6,000 each.
Even some of the innerlink cables that went between components , people would spend hundreds each.
They would have doctors and lawyers come in and they would rave about how their new cables made such a difference in the sound , I think at a certain point it’s all on their mind.

Finally got color right. Had problems getting edges to take color. Buffed well with 4/0 steel wool. Used a rag touched with a bit of stain from stirring stick on edge details then wiped off excess carefully. Wiped down with a paper towel with just a drop of mineral spirits. One coat of oil based Minwax poly. Not going to touch it till Thursday.

Next spring I’m putting down 400 sq feet of laminate, probably Pergo or Quickstep. Also replacing all baseboard and door trim. Finish is all poorly applied. 80 feet of baseboard, 150 feet of door trim. Also paint. Might contract that out. Maybe I can stain some pieces during winter until garage gets cold.
