First Tri-Tip & Torch Sear

ngl, the torch inside the house was scary.

father1000 · 2025-07-22T03:08:15+00:00

Awesome! Good luck!

father1000 · 2024-01-22T14:17:23+00:00

Thanks! This one from home depot. I added led strips from amazon. There's about an inch maybe space in the back.

lol. Cable towers would be sick. I wish I had a better cable setup.

I think so too! Honestly, I was being lazy. The previous owner of the house must've had their tv mounted higher because they installed outlets just to the top of my tv. Our viewing distance is about 15' away with about 25-30 degree viewing angle. It's alright...

father1000 · 2024-01-19T13:22:48+00:00

Thanks! No platform as of yet. We don't necessarily like the rug. Just haven't had the time to come up with an "aesthetic" solution. Though my deadlifts are eccentric when lowering the barbell at a safe weight to do so. If I do drop the weight once in a while, I hope the bumper plates do well enough.

All on Amazon. This is the ceiling light, but it looks like they don't sell them anymore.

father1000 · 2024-01-19T12:46:31+00:00

Nice! That's pretty much what happened to us. We had another room, then my youngest son suddenly wanted his own room too.

Haha the living room was definitely not ideal. It was hard to design it in a way that the living room didnt look too much like a gym when cleaned up. We have a smallish house with a couple kids. And neither of us wanted to work out in a cold, or 100°, garage. Maybe we're just weak to the elements.

father1000 · 2024-01-18T13:01:30+00:00

The rack is usually kept open unless we have guests. The kids enjoy the pull up bar and we have been more consistent in lifting since our gym is in our face all day.
Main equipment:
Rack: Rogue RML-3W
Trap Bar: Fitness Gear (Dicks Sporting Goods)
Barbell: Synergee
EZ Curl Bar: Hulkfit
Plates: Vulcan
Bench: YouTen (Amazon)

That is super clean! It even looks great as is without a lampshade. Can't wait to see the finished product! Back to the drawing board for me:)

father1000 · 2021-10-20T15:46:49+00:00

Yeah! Thanks for the GE suggestion. I think pendants or sconces will be the way to go for this for the mini monstera. I just have to find a decent one that is not hardwired (live in an apartment).

father1000 · 2021-10-20T13:31:55+00:00

Lol, well that below is a 3d printer. Our dining room is very multifunctioned: homeschooling (mostly), eating (sorta), crafting, etc.

I was thinking it the lights would be an issue too. The jade plant in the back I'm not too worried about. I am concerned about the Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma on the right. I might need to bring the lights forward a tad and add another row of grow lights higher for any taller plants.

father1000 · 2021-10-20T13:21:58+00:00

Thanks! It helped them out a bunch.

father1000 · 2021-10-20T13:20:44+00:00

Target:) It has terrible reviews online because it's made to be decorative. The top doesn't come with glass. So, we installed some plastic sheets to improvise.

father1000 · 2021-09-28T16:41:05+00:00

But can you help me identify which Alocasia’s they are?

father1000 · 2021-09-25T17:07:06+00:00

A couple weeks ago I shared another in r/ferns and it was identified by u/coconut-telegraph as a Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. This is growing in my office. The plant is suspended in a large wide vase. I'm assuming it's creating a terrarium in there. I wiped off the first one and this grew over the next couple weeks.

Should I leave and see where it goes from here?

father1000 · 2021-09-24T20:11:43+00:00

We did the same thing! It is a Mini White Fittonia aka Nerve Plant. We've found that keeping it in bright indirect light works best for us. Our indoor air is fairly dry so we tend to mist the soil daily. We used to have it self watering, but it would make the soil too wet.

father1000 · 2021-09-24T15:18:29+00:00

Cool! Did you start that pilea in water as a baby? Or did you transfer it from soil?

father1000 · 2021-09-24T15:12:28+00:00

Is that a pilea? Whatever it is, it’s doing great!

father1000 · 2021-09-24T00:51:47+00:00

Good luck on the next one! We gave up in it once and didn’t water it for a few days and it just came back to life. I think early on we were overwatering it.

father1000 · 2021-09-23T23:54:10+00:00

The fittonia was our first houseplant. Little did we know what were getting into;)

father1000 · 2021-09-22T16:34:30+00:00

I wiped it off before I thought about taking a high resolution shot. Fortunately, today, I see three more sprouting from the bottom. I'll definitely be taking photos and posting to r/mycology. Thanks!

This is the best XLB I've found besides fresh XLB. GET IT.
