A FREAKING MONSTER!Īnyway, I remembered I have these 16″ insulation rods (that hold up the insulation between joists). What kind of person removes insulation from the joists and duct tapes it around copper pipes? A monster. I spent my entire morning insulating in our crawl space. They REMOVED insulation from floor joists and duct taped it around the pipes! PHOs were to insulate pipes under house as per inspection rpt. Just when I thought I was sunk, when I remembered what I (begrudgingly) did yesterday! I encourage you to do so! But I also wonder where you were two days ago when I needed you most. I’m sure there are master bucket makers out there ready to drop some bucket knowledge on me right about now. LOL! It’s pretty clear my scrap wood needs to be tapered or something. Things started getting really weird really quick…
I started at the bottom of the lamp shade and put two staples in each plank about a quarter to half inch off the perimeter of the piece.Īnd flipped the shade around, putting two staples into the other side of the plank. I took a trip to the store the very next day and picked up some 1/2″ staples. I kept dialing down the pressure in hopes I could get the staples to only go in a half inch…but no dice. I probably should have to begin with! But once I set it up I realized I only had 1″ staples! This definitely won’t work.īut of coarse I have to try anyway. A sick game you’re playing with me, lampshade! A sick game! One side would kick-up after the first side was secured.
I wanted to staple directly over the frame, but… The problem with the banger is it’s not very precise (surprise, surprise). You know, the ones where you bang it into whatever your heart desires. I had 5/8″ staples and one of these pressure staplers. I’m going to ask my bucket to look nice in my newly renovated bathroom. It should be noted that I’m not going to be using this bucket for water or any strictly utilitarian purpose. My scrap wood planks are all around between 12.25″ and 12.5″ long. I figured I could flip the lampshade over, giving a natural taper to my bucket. Lampshades have large bottom metal ring and a smaller top ring. Here’s the problem: How can I attach 1×3 wood planks in a tapered circle to create a bucket? Well, my fantastic idea was to use a lampshade as an inner frame. So with that said, here’s my DIY Wooden Plank Bucket. But we’re creating here! And just like children, our DIY offspring aren’t always beautiful. The reason I mention all of this is because some DIYs aren’t Swedishly perfect. Sure, you’ll get solid wood furniture for a decent price, but you’ll have to cope with intestinal discomfort and lousy directions. The same CANNOT be said for I dunno…Ikea! You know, that three-block fortress where upon entering through the automatic double doors, victims are immediately herded to a single path with Swedish arrows pointing you to the two dollar spaghetti and meatball lunch. And when things don’t go exactly as planned, you can throw your hands up in the air and say…ya know what, I’m going to do it THIS WAY! So there. Want to stain first? DO IT! Want to sand last? No problem ya bum! It’s open season for your own personal creativity and chi.
You get to choose your own path to your pot of gold. When you decide to do things yourself, you open up a sparkling rainbow of possibilities.
