He's a cool guy and and wait until you see the other pics, super nice place.

All teasing aside, happy for him and his family; big move and change so it's nice to see it work out so well.

Marcel is going to be president of the board and have everyone over for Thanksgiving next year, mark that down. Life stories of his neighbors are coming, and I mean intimate details.

I dunno man... having been a board member in the past, I think I'm good this time around due to the size of the community which will include a central park. It's going to be work for that panel to keep things on the up & up.

You're still welcomed to visit though; we'll hit the slopes!

First project 85% complete.

The monitor is 65"; viewing distance from wall to wall is approx 18 to 19ft depending on where the couch will be placed.

A 75" may very well be in the horizon.

Need to address imperfections (my ocd) & cut baseboard to size.

Nice work, definitely have the space to go up a size or two.
Gives me some ideas on my living room, my wife wants to get rid of the TV stand we currently have, but still need to hide wiring/devices.

Congrats Marcel. It looks awesome. I also just bought a house here in LA, still trying to be somewhat handy to put things together.

Thanks guys.

Tools had a lot to do with it.

I initially started off with a cheap budget kit with plastic spatulas, trowel, and a couple of other items that was included.

Looked like absolute dog poop.... I went back to HD to pickup legit masonry tools and it made a world of a difference.

We're about 20 mins from Seattle and love it!

So much to do.

The drives are a complete 180 from S. FL; very scenic landscape.

Congrats dude!

When in doubt, fire up YouTube.... there's a tutorial for just about everything. That's what I do.

No fan of contractors.

What's first on your list to tackle?

What's the plan for the yard? Our neighbors think I'm insane when I do these projects but I've found the worst part of projects is the planning and the anticipation of whether you really can do it; you can.

Im physically limited to do certain things due to injury and tackling this would probably be a huge mistake

I've already alerted the wife about upgrading the monitor to something "slightly bigger" and relocate the existing to the master.
She gave me the side eye

I doubt we'll do shelves as we plan to add tall 2' vases with 4' tri-ball topiaries on both ends; should fill up the area nicely.

Dude, I bet they will fill up the area nicely but keep them in the nightstand bottom drawer like the rest of our chicks.
You have a daughter, for goodness sakes.







*just kidding, I know what a topiary is.
