Dark Side of The Moon: 8-Bit

So I stumbled upon this recreation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon in 8-Bit sound. Basically this is what the album would hear had it been in a old Nintendo system from your childhood. It's awesome to hear a cool concept to a great album and I hope you enjoy it.

Diaper Changing Table pt. 2

Today we finished staining and sealing our diaper changing table and were surprised how well it turner out. I was reminded how much I dislike working with staining products because you never know what where it will soak in and where it will pool up like paint. Long story short we figured everything out and got this one done and on to the next projects. We still need to add the hardware to the doors and that will be done as soon as we find one of them around the house! Also that small square hole in the top left needs a small plug for when we aren't running cords through.


We made some changes while sanding which include a darker color than planned, molding installed to the sides and front doors, adding a sheet of wood to the top. At the last minute we added new legs so we wouldn't have to change our kid on stilts. The project cost more than we originally planned but we saved more green in the long run.

Besides getting the house ready for the baby we are moving onto painting two more chairs for our table, and treating/painting patio furniture so we can enjoy being outside more with our son.
Time is moving fast so we'll continue to work hard and get ready for the boy.

Diaper Changing Table

This past week we have been working on a diaper changing table for our little boy. Allison's dad made this chest back in Junior High and was used at their office over the years. I spent Monday morning sanding the old finish down so we can make it match the crib and chair. Once again I was skeptical of what Ali was expecting to make out of this but once again I was happy to be proven wrong. With the help from Jordan our master carpenter we now have a great piece that we plan on keeping for a long time. I wanted to post some pictures now and we'll later post once this thing is completed.

The first picture is the only one with the doors that Ali is adding some molding to add a little something something.
