I think I have mentioned in passing that my hubby is a handy kinda guy to have around...
Well HERE is the proof!
He has been doing some VERY secrative work the last few months...winters are kind of long and can get boring...but he manages to keep himself busy & out of trouble...he's also pretty talented!
Anyway a couple of years ago we bought a pool table for the basement...one day it will be a family/entertainment area...
Soooo...he decided he was going to BUILD pool table lights...he didn't like what was available...
So for weeks every available second he was hiding in the shop...BIG, heavy boxes arrived in the mail & on the bus....please keep in mind he worked on the rigs...oil rigs that is, for 20 years before he started driving a truck 10 years ago...
POOL TABLE LIGHTS!
Look closely now...the "lights" are actual, honest to God PUMPJACK PISTONS!
The chain is the REAL thing...the CLEVISES are the real thing too!
I "think" it weighs about 200 lbs!
Next...we needed a BATHROOM in the basement..."Oh boy...what have I let myself in for"...
For 2 months I have NOT been allowed in the basement!
HERE is the result!
Yup, the SINK is an old toolbox...complete with CUSTOM copper faucet!
Yup again...the URINAL is a galvanized funnel!
The walls are plywood that is sealed & stained as is the floor
The um...TOILET is Harley orange & black...did I mention he's a biker too?
The MIRROR is the TIRE from his bike!
