Turned an old "chicken coop wood storage, lawnmower room" - into an office
with bathroom.

Tough job, floor was all rough and uneven.....put an 1 1/2" layer of new
concrete on it, with selffurring mesh, fiber mesh in mix/6 sack-grout mix
concrete/concrete additive-latex. All wall were out of plumb and room went
from 14 ft to 14' 2" All new window, new bathroom, coffee bar, and
insulated. No collar ties in building and re-inforced structure....

New ceiling, wainscott, and shtrock.....
I did not choose wall color......

Very impressive. I especially like the wood walls and unusual ceiling
beams. They caught my eye right off. Hope you enjoy it forever!

Well if we get an epic flood it looks like you could turn the room over and
paddle away??

Looks nice!

That worked well, you shooting for the nautical theme. I instantly thought
it looked kinda boat'y. ;~) Nicely executed.

Can you explain the middle sections of the walls that appear to be painted
black?

A nice sheet rock touch that the owner, talking with the painter, painted
it tomatoe dark red.......yuck!
I could not believe that!
One thing I do not do on a job.....pick color or wash windows.......
It would have been very nice with a lighter eggshell or.......but oh no,
gotta go red with a gold wash........
sob......

Reminds me of those "bad color" jokes. As in, "How do you know that a house
(or room) is painted a bad color?"

I don't remember very many answers. Here is a couple.

When people begin to vomit when driving by.

People scream and grab their eyes in pain.

People begin to cry when they see it.

Birds gather to poop on it.

Strange, demented people approve of it.

Etc., etc.

Thanks ... good reference for me ... always wondered why folks, cried,
screamed, vomited and grabbed their eyes in pain when seeing the tie,
socks and shirt I had decided upon that morning.
