current shoe management system was irreparably damaged, so I made a shelf out of wood lying about

[black start]

[Ted_v2]

I need about 4 of those. My shoes always hiding

[Trini Hookah]

Good stuff ismithx, make sure you spray it with a lil Bop or something similar ever so often.

Mosquitoes love to hide in those areas.

Well done well done...

Hmm its been a while since I did a diy project jed..gotta get doin sumn soon.

[kripplerz]

Something a bit different from the woodwork, but it still falls under the home DIY. I'm a big DIYer.
A little help from him.



Those spacers helped a lot, everything flat and smooth no raised edges.

[nos_specialist]

That looking reall good man....


I hope to start my house soon..them spacers decent..where u bought them?

[kripplerz]

Bought them on eBay 11us for 100 pieces.

[Morpheus]

Well done kripplerz....

My sis and mom did the gallery some years ago. Tiling book, Internet, bought tools. Even I was shocked at the end result!
Sad thing is they did it way more professionally than the "Tile man" that did the bathroom some time before

[black start]

Good job kripplerz!

[kripplerz]

This space is approx. 19x15. I took my time and layed maybe 7 or 8 tiles per day. Eventually I was done. I also did a bathroom and a lot of other diys ill post at a later date.

[dougla_boy]

nice.....not a huge DIYer...but i getting there

[kripplerz]

Anyone can be a good DIYer. With the right amount of research, little tools and some courage. Something must happen. And these days labour cost so high and good workmen so hard to find. As much as I could do I'll give it a try.

[kripplerz]

Gate DIYed be me.




Total cost about $4500-5000 in materials.

[Ted_v2]

Nice work. I wanna get into the gate building myself. Something about It I like.

[shogun]

Nice work kripplerz. Liking those spacers in your previous post as well.

[ruffneck_12]

sure that gate sturdier than most

lookin good bai

[kripplerz]

Thanks. The gate is really sturdy. I used 4 metal bearings as the roller guides. Somehow I don't like those fibre glass rollers they sell, it gives the gate too much play and those things run slack sometimes. When I get home ill post a pic of the bearings.

[dougla_boy]

not all the time u cud get the metal rollers......the better brand is the Henderson...but Bhagwansinghs does never have all in stock sometimes

gate looking good tho

[kripplerz]

I know the Henderson, but those come with a track and are mostly used for hanging gats doors n stuff. If u put it sideways it will have a little play. Thanks. Dougla

computer

I got a couple old computer towers, turned them into a draw system for parts. Gotta find some time to install the faces and paint though...

[dougla_boy]

not bad, not bad.......this ched should get more active tho..........

[kripplerz]

I agree, great idea with the towers. With the draw fronts on you would never know what's behind.

[nos_specialist]

WATTT....that sick, i have a couple towers as well...gonna do dat....

Cool idea man.

[goviboo]

Thanks bro, you hadda get the full extension slides though. They a bit more expensive but more durable and gives you access to the entire "draw"

[supercharged turbo]

You can get the metal rollers at Idrees or QPSL.

[nos_specialist]

Seepersad Hardware in Marabella have the full extension slides for $36 a pair, 18" slides
