I was hoping for the first post in The Fusebox

Oh well, someone else will get that honor. I bought this in wall ironing board when we moved into our house April of 2006, and installed it today. Still in the single digit 2000s! That is a victory.




Look how messy ldc's craft room is!

Looks good, man.

I really wish I knew how to do some of this stuff. I love watching all those shows where people do awesome stuff with their home. We've got some talented people here in the area of home improvement. I love seeing all that you guys can do.

Nice work.

Thanks, this is weak sauce stuff though. There are guys on the board that can do real home improvement, not just cut a hole in sheet rock. I am pretty sure a blind monkey could do what I did today.

Looks good HFN! Now install an electrical outlet to the inside of that box so you dont have to run an extension cord to iron!

What's below a blind monkey on the home improvement scale?

Nice work. I've been thinking about doing something similar in my house, but the space in the laundry room is very limited.

[kccougar]

Good work, HFN.

[Gidget]

I want a craft room

[Mr Incredible]

I have the same ironing board... except mine was installed when the house was built in 2005. If you ever come visit, I'll let you check out my ironing board. :yikes:

I should have come up for the bowl game/Polar Express party.

I should have come up for the bowl game/Polar Express party.

I've seen and used his ironing board. Seen/used one, seen/used them all.

But you still should have attended the Polar Express Party.

Just do it. It's a bit scary at first, but none of it is really very hard. In the last year, I've done a ton of work in our basement - I've studded, dry-walled, mudded & taped, plumbed, electrified & done finish-carpentry. I ran new water lines. I put in a new toilet and shower. I tiled the whole bathroom. I installed an external window (which means I cut a hole in the side of my house). I had never done any of this stuff prior to this.

Youtube is actually a tremendous resource for all this stuff. The hardest single thing I did was figuring out how to do a four-way switch. I read two different DIY books that tried to explain it, and couldn't figure out what they were talking about. But after watching a 3-minute youtube video, it was crystal clear.

For home repairs/improvement, you can learn a heckuva lot just by trying it...
