  3. Starting renovations on the house my girlfriend and I just bought. Only main floor room that doesn't work with her wheelchair is the bathroom, but since there's a tub/shower combo as well as a standalone shower, we are able to rip out the shower to make more room for her chair. Still a lot more work to do, the demolition is the only part that absolutely needs done before move in. Re-tiling, door install, etc. can be done as we go. Happy with the progress my dad and I made today. Before After My mom also started removing wallpaper in the master bedroom and we found some hieroglyphics from the 50s.

  9. My girlfriend is in a wheelchair and until I met her I had no idea how many hoops they make you go through for wheelchair repairs. Like why do you need a doctor's prescription for a replacement bolt?? Hope you get your chair back soon! Anyway, here's today's fit. Oshkosh and Champion from yesterday, TCB 50s, Vans.

  11. Thank you, I'll make sure to post pictures once it's furnished in a couple months! We got lucky finding a place $75,000 less than our budget which feels feels great.
  12. (Please excuse the lack of legs, they were removed and stored in drawers for transportation. Also mirror is not pictured but it was included.) My girlfriend and I put an offer on a house a few weeks ago that didn't get accepted, but in a weird small world coincidence it turned out that the seller was one of my college professors who I've kept somewhat in touch with professionally. Since it was his father's house which he inherited, and he was just trying to clear it out I reached out to him to see if he was interested in some extra cash for some of the furniture. There was a bunch of furniture that we loved, but this Johnson Carper set stuck out in particular. He wasn't interested in selling, he just wanted it gone and was happy to give it to us for free. I don't know much about mcm resale value, but I gotta imagine this set could easily sell for at least $700 or so. We just had an offer accepted yesterday, so hopefully everything looks good after inspections and this stuff doesn't have to live in my parents' dining room to long. Bedside table, tallboy, lowboy with mirror, and headboard. Also got a cool hanging wall lamp that I don't have a good picture of.
  13. Been searching for a pair of vintage OG-107s that are long enough for my legs and finally found a pair about a week and a half ago. Made in 1977, still has the button fly which I wanted, and got that nice n slubby sateen. Jacket is Oshkosh, hoodie Champion RW, boots Blundstones

    Denim Repair

    Those look great @Mr Black! Certainly better than I'll ever do. What machine are you using?
  19. The Dispossessed is one of the greatest books ever. UKLG is my favorite author, and the whole Hainish Cycle is wonderful. That cover art is so good. Been reading some Chandler too lately, but the Lady in the Lake is still on my TBR list. Picked up a couple older editions of some of his books at a used bookstore I like near me.

    Denim Repair

    About 10 months in homemade jeans and they finally required some crotch repairs which is pretty much par for the course for my thighs. One thing I like about black jeans is how subtle repairs tend to be in comparison to indigo. Not that I don't like visible repairs in my indigo jeans, just a nice change of pace to keep things more work appropriate as they break down.
