Off set the boards cause thats what the wife liked

Starting on my entertainment center. Stain grade glued wood

Staining the shelves

Inserting shelves and filling in screw holes (giggidy...allllright)

Bought a barn door assembly on Amazon for 70 bucks

Makin sure its all level n purdy

Well now I know Ford makes water heaters.

That is probably just a ford sticker on a water heater of some other brand

That's awesome. I tried my hand at some wood working but always failed.

Serious question. How cheap it is if you diy compared to asking someone to do it for you?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Well all n all it cost me about 250 in total for everything. As opposed to a almost way smaller identical one at tj max they wanted 500

A+ @op but won't lie- really distracted by jealousy over your access to WhataBurger. Come back to FL!!

Am I seriously the only guy who hates mounting a TV to the wall?

Am I the only one who hates turning half a wall into a heap of old wood? Looks like someone crashed through and they're covering it up.

I feel the same way. The worst is when people mount them above a mantle or fireplace. Would you put a tv stand there?

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

agree, waaay too effing high. TV vertical midline should be eye-level when you're seated.

I thought you just built the TV stand in the first picture. I was like.... ok
