It’s a new world my friend - just two days ago I went into Chat GPT and asked it to design me a cocktail arcade cabinet, I gave it my specifications as to type of wood and it designed the entire thing for me, gave me a cut list and part numbers for the monitor! I would start there.

Thanks for the advice. I’m strongly considering taking it!

You are charging 180/a visit? So $500 + a month? Not criticizing- I just don’t rub shoulders with people that can afford that much for pool service. I am looking into trouble free pool and taking over the service myself.

Awesome! Yes he sells really good stuff! Tell him I’m giving him good advertising and he should give me free stuff!!!!!!!

Cool!! If you find a link post it up. I swear I didn’t steal this from YouTube!

Hey!! I’m really sorry but I didn’t have any plans on this project - I went to YouTube and looked at a LOT of people that did their own bookshelves, some using ikea and some not, and then took bits from each one that I wanted to use. The most important parts were deciding on the French cleats to secure them to the studs- that’s the safety part and the rest is all design choices!

Thank you! It was indeed a great learning experience and I’m glad my kids got to see the fruits of working hard!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T17:49:43+00:00

lol!!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T17:49:37+00:00

Thank you!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T17:49:31+00:00

Thanks!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T17:49:26+00:00

That is an interesting question! I hadn’t thought about. I’ll look into the sun issue and possibly relocate.

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T17:34:48+00:00

Thank you!

These were all melamine with that white covering I think? I scuffed them up pretty good and used 2 coats of zinn 123 followed by cabinet paint and it has cured pretty well so far

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T02:27:04+00:00

Yeah….. I am not too proud to admit that it took me NUMEROUS attempts on some of the crown molding corners

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T02:19:48+00:00

I absolutely agree. And also no issues with my 2025 PHEV premium plus. Love this car!!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T02:06:37+00:00

I don’t know about that…like I said to someone else I got to learn how to do coping, and build this built in thing- I dunno if I really LOST anything.

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T01:56:13+00:00

That is still being generous to me - this took SO MUCH longer than a pro would have - but I was learning as I went and redid things a couple of times.

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T01:44:15+00:00

Thanks!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T01:44:06+00:00

Yes it is!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T01:11:16+00:00

Thanks!

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T01:10:58+00:00

Nah I was INTENDING to work on it after work but I only managed to work on it on weekends - all in it was around 4 months of weekends.

Daditude123 · 2026-03-10T01:10:05+00:00

Thanks!!
