In reference to your pic on other thread; on my back lanai.

For note, the other pup in the pic is Sochi, my wife's dog. Well, they're both "ours" now. Our dogs are actually how we came together. We met at the dog park.

I just started reading your build thread and….


Now that the inside paint was complete, it was time to add some lighting. I don't recall offhand the manufacturer of these lights, but I did order them from amazon. They are daisy-chained, low-profile LED's that are enclosed to protect against splashing and come equipped with a dimmer switch.

Mr. OCD has crooked wiring for his inside-cabinet lighting held in by what looks to be staples. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to continue on with the rest of the thread if this is a precursor of things to come.

This is the corrosion inhibitor that I mentioned previously. It is made by CRC Marine. I promise, I don't keep this stuff near my desk. Hahaha. I ran out to the garage to grab it.
Nice machine in the background. Did you build it yourself?

Now, where was I? Oh yeah, the canopy. I wanted to ensure proper ventilation under this thing, so I added some fans to it. I believe these things were ordered from Amazon and originally intended to cool electronics equipment stacks:
Could have went with RGB lighted fans and set them up to run the same orange as your stand/canopy. You can always swap them out though.

Yeah, I moved the table a bit last night when I was having my tea. Have to slide it back. Thanks for reminding me.

Edit: I thought you were referring to the pics over my tank and table in the sitting room. Duh. Yes, I know about the pics above the altar. They are hung that way intentionally.

I'm actually gonna be removing and swapping out the whole lighting array. Coming soon to a theatre near you! Great idea though...

Safe travels and best of luck. Also, any and all input absolutely welcomed! It will only help me grow and improve.

You look pretty good for 45. Must be that full, dark head of hair and old picture.

He’s Irish and you’re German. Of course you both like beer!

@Petcrazyson has everyone beat!
Then there's @death-by-reef. he might give petcrazy a run.

almost how my parents met. he was throwing a stick in the river for the dog. my mom thought the dog looked tired getting out and reached down to help and got bit. He took her out for ice-cream, presumably after making sure she was ok.

Nope, that picture was taken this past November. I get botox for my migraines, and my neurologist hooks it up for my eyes too. The rest is handled by some light makeup to cover scarring on my face. It keeps me young and pretty.

...and here is the finished product. It is by no means perfect, but I did it with my own two hands, and my chest swells with pride every time I poop in there. Or, maybe it's indigestion. One can never know for sure.

Hahahah. The Boba Fett painting is aptly named, "Dropping a Bounty". It was a concession The Dainty Dictator had to make for reclaiming part of my closet to build that massive shower. The large shower, for note, has additional <wink><wink> benefits. So, I win there too...
