Outdoor Update

So I actually didn't mention it much but I have a pretty sweet patio area. I got plans for that too but this was just a rough clean up project after a lot of rain.

Updates:

Got a real hose and 1 pressure nozzle as well as a mutli nozzle
Got some sand for the mopes and their ash tray
Took out the rocks and pushed them to the sides, and filled the walkway with about 8 buckets of gravel that was just sitting under my patio
Pulled up this white patio table that was under the porch, will sand/paint it someday
Bought an outside trash can for 9 bux with a lid! lol
Also did another mod but i'm not going to list it here right away (going to be a suprise to the homies)

YEE! sorry pics are from night, didn't feel like waiting.....
Time to re-do the weather stripping on the back door!

3.3

Got the bedroom door molding, door knob and weather stripping in. This door has a tighter seal to it then the other one but they should both work good.
My one problem now is that the thermostat is on the bedroom side, so if i have the bedroom door closed and the heater going, it will KEEP going lol and i've experienced this already....Just need to mod a second thermostat in place and dictate either climate zone A or B....not a biggie will do that some day.
Also fixed my tv cable line, it was fuzzy. My tv leds crapped out, messed with them for a bit but didn't feel like taking the tv down so will look at that later. They are going to be replace with (1) 24incher on the left and right and (2) 24 inchers on the top.

Not sure what the next step is...i'm sure i'll see it chillin in home depot someday..oh! right i'm going to make the exhaust fan for the media cabinet...more to come!

Faiz 3.2

Installed the 2nd door (remember my room is going to have 5 doors in it total- 2 in the center, one at the back and 2 separating my room from the main apt....one more to go)

Anyway this door install sucked. I even bought a chisel and door hinge template. Turned out way better using the knife from my leather man and a hammer....leather man always be coming through!

Again please always try to remember...if you haven't been reading this whole blog this is the frame work, it will all be sanded and painted ect so don't mind my ruff edges...oh and sorry about the splinters friends!!! :-D

Faiz 3.1

Semi cool update I suppose.
1) In wall wire installation
2) New speakers/Amp
3) Media rack cooling fans

Yeah so I finally got the wires installed in the wall. In the wall I have 2 power wires, one for the tv, one for the leds, 2 Hdmi wires (computer, xbox 360) 1 optical wire, 1 coax tv wire, 1 net wire (stupid samsung widget things..why not right)

The Speakers are actually my brothers system, he basically has the same amp as me but it also has video hookups (not using them, older amp, no hdmi) However it's good because my front left channel was out on my old amp. Also his speakers are WAY bigger then mine :) 
Here are the fans for the media rack, as of right now there is (3) 120mm fans hooked up to a 12v line coming from the wall, not the computer, so its always on (very quiet too) There will be another one pulling the air into another room, coming soon...As well as two on the bottom pulling fresh air in. Enjoy!


Also here is the coax tv wire from outside...just drilled right through the wall and filled the surrounding hole with hot glue. (for the guys...yes now we have freaking tv...not that we'll ever watch it while COD BO is still alive ;)

Faiz 3.0

Short small update.
Added a mid sized fridge that prob will not have a permanent home in my theater but maybe in my bedroom.
Also added a projector I'm borrowing from a friend for awhile, a $5 Ross laundry bin turned into a bigger garbage can :) and a $10 rug bought from Home Depot to extend the living area a bit (put over the crappy stuff on the back door exit. As well as a $20 roll up shade thingy from the Home Depot thats 8ft wide and goes to the floor :)
Arranged the media rack a little bit.
REALLY NEED A COUCH!
