Bathroom is at a standstill while we figure out what we're doing about the floor. Have ideas for new tile, but gotta pick a contractor. So in the meantime I started working on patching the water damaged plaster on the ceiling of what will become our master bedroom. Cut along the joists with the sawzall yesterday. That was messy as hell. Then today I sistered some studs to the joists and hung drywall. Only reason I used the mold resistant boards is cos I had a sheet leftover from the bathroom. Then I went for a bike ride with my girl and found a pump track a mile down the road from our house. My parents will be pleased that this means I will be getting my dirt jump bike out of thir basement sooner rather than later.

One of my favs in my collection. YOT print is on the inside of a Mickey Mouse shirt. Bought it from my friends resale shop for like $15 cos I don't think he knew just how cool of a piece he had.

Scored a Necchi BU Mira off FB marketplace for $50 the other day. Needs some cleaning but I'm excited to get it running. Been hunting for a Necchi for over a year now and finally came across one that wasn't some ridiculous price or in another state.

Dumb question maybe but is there a discernable difference in the knit pattern of a tubular vs loopwheel tee?

Thanks guys!

Please excuse the double posting. Went for an impromptu bike ride yesterday since I finished work on the bathroom earlier than anticipated. Mtb trails are closed so I rode over to the metropark about 3 miles from my house and pedaled around there. Pretty nice spot, and the ride through the neighborhood was nice too to be able to really take in all the cute houses.

This being my first time drywalling, I have been pretty pleased with myself. Mud is messy as hell though. Spent a few hours yesterday prefilling and then a few hours today taping. Also my brother got me a cast iron skillet as a housewarming gift a few weeks ago. Never cooked with cast iron before and I get the hype. Here's a quick curry I made in it last night.

Cressidas are sick. My buddy has one that he put a chandelier in. His is slammed though, much prefer them at the normal ride height.

Posted an update on my DIY jeans in the homemade jeans thread. Figured I'd share em here too. Fabric is 14oz black x gray denim from Nihon Menpu.

About 14.5 months in the homemade pair and still loving them. Been itching for an excuse to make another pair but these are still kicking real well other than the inseam needing some repairs at the crotch.

Been busy this weekend working on the bathroom. Never hung drywall before, but turns out it ain't too bad in these small sections to do as a one man operation. Had to put in some studs for the drywall to hold onto, and had to get creative with this one by the drain pipe by segmenting it. Another hurdle was getting the ceiling to sit flush with the original plaster. The walls and ceilings in this place are about (key word is "about") 1" thick with the rock lath and plaster, so I had to use something to shim out the 1/2" drywall. Tried to cut strips of some 1/2" plywood I found in the garage, but it was too thick, so I ended up using pieces of lath which did the trick and cost next to nothing. And here's the rest of the walls all done. Once the drywall is mudded and floor is in it'll be time to trim in some places and then paint (or wallpaper, haven't decided yet). Decided that instead of trying to match the blue tile we'll just paint the new walls and I'll cut some trim for the transition from tile to no tile. Going to put some shelves and a vanity in this spot eventually.

These are lovely
