abarbarian Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Here are a few suggestions. A step to help the cat get to the doorway. Raising the cats food of the draughty floor. Pumpkin Beer. Fitting a permanent shelf for the cat. More finishing of. Only the cat flap to fit now. Pictures 4, 5 and 6 were red herrings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 4, 5, and 6 didn't look like fish in at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello, Mine go to family members, or friends, sometimes get parted out, recycled, or even get co-located to a data center if they are still usable in that regard.

abarbarian Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Neat Aryeh ! I have tried to move these on our local Freecycle site but have had no takers. I'll give it another go then strip out the hdd and cd drives and then they will go to the great scrap heap in the sky. No comments on the excellent woodworking.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah, a goodly portion of my salvaged PCs get refurbed and go to family/friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cluttermagnet Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 That's an interesting turquoise green 'wash' on the wood. Reminds me of a 'semi-transparent' wood stain. Gives a nice instant antiqued look, actually. More classy than a simple coat of paint IMO. Your cats love you, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) That green is two coats or in some cases only one coat of Barrettine Premier Wood preservative. I wanted the outside of the cabin green to melt into the background a bit.An I really would have liked to have used the Clear version inside to show of the natural wood but could not afford to buy a can of Clear when I had half a can of Green left. The wierd greeny antique finish is caused by the fact that the inside of the cabin is panelled with recycled pallet strips which I source from all over the place and as a result I get all sorts of different wood which take in the preservative stain in different ways. Ta fer the comments an I may be able to show finished pictures one day along with a How It Was Made slideshow as I have taken pictures along the way. http://www.wood-fini...od-preservative I would have used the Log Cabin preservative but it is nearly twice the price of the one I used :'( All the pc's and five boxes of assorted stuff went last week to a young lad from the Freecycle site. Hope he has a lot of fun with them. Edited November 22, 2014 by abarbarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
