What are you doing? (Part 2)

My first media wall yay! Iā€™ve done several built-in shelving joints but never one of these. Now, would you have hired me to build this if you knew Iā€™ve never built one before? Shirley not. In fact (and also) my prices are sometimes so sketchily low that the customer gets suspicious and thinks Iā€™m a jack-leg whoā€™ll do shitty work. Iā€™m the ā€˜price is too good to be trueā€™ guy your instincts tell you not to fuck with.

In any case the next one i do like that will be $2200. I was about $500 too low on this one. This lady was ready and willing to pay $2500 but i blew it and gave her an honest price. This outrageously expensive subcontractor stuff is hard to get used to but Iā€™ll figure it out eventually.

Totally righteous. Each cubby has its own light, you know. Also, the dude said he wanted NO gaps between the TV and the edge of the frame. I warned him that the house may settle, and in three years, might start pushing on the TV. Thatā€™s why you leave at least a finger width gap. He didnā€™t wanna do it though so i built that bitch to the sixteenth.

Watch. In a few years that TV is gonna be stuck in there, and you wonā€™t be able to telescope it out of that hole.

Eeeeew thatā€™s nice. I want one! I wonder if i can build one in my van.

Woah woah woah. Hold up. How the fuck does a guy build hundreds of houses in thirty years time but ends up never having a house?

Thatā€™s like being a dentist who dies of a tooth infection or something totally asinine like that.

Charge him again to fix it.

trying to decide on a new guitar to buy

Cā€™mon man letā€™s jam when you get one. Iā€™m fuckin with Herbie Hancockā€™s Spider right now. Put some of those Stevie Ray Smears licks on this shit.

You write some melodies and then send em to me so i can put drums on em and then Ecmandu will add keys and be like Chick Corea.

i played a cheap-ish, foreign made prs at a store the other day and i really kinda want it. itā€™s swamp ash w/ maple fretboard so like the anti-prs. will immediately lose value upon itā€™s purchase, but wouldnā€™t worry about actually tossing it around a bit. i might do it.

Ohhhh yes, check this one out i just found. Some darker shit finally. Iā€™m trying to find like angry jazz fusion but all these play alongs on youtube are funk or swing jazz.

Thatā€™s what i do. At the end of each show i smash the shit out of my guitar like Pete Townsend and then throw the pieces at the crowd.
