This fern here in N Fla. is called ressurection fern.



It's often found up in the branches of old trees, and looks pretty scraggly if it hasn't rained in a few days.



This is the same batch one day later after some watering, hince the name.

I just refinished this rare set of 18" AMG BBS Wheels all by hand, it took me 40 hours which included polishing each bolt by hand.

Think I saw those on Benzworld. I'd kill for those-or the RUF's on bat now for the 911. The NY600 guy on Benzworld has a set of those with bodycolored centers and they look very nice on his 140.

Yes, I posted them on Benzworld and have them for sale, they would look awesome on a 140.

Not my picture, not my project. Just a random photo I came across.

Custom hotwheels to match my real cars. These were fun because they only take a few hours unlike the real thing! I already have one that matched my 911 so I didnt have to do one custom.

Wife wanted white cabinets and I wasn't really interested in learning myself...that is until I came to after passing out when I got the three quotes, the CHEAPEST was $4800

No way in hell that was happening, so I took $300 and bought all the paint, primer, HVLP sprayer and paint shelter I needed. The doors drawers came out spectacular, the frames look fine however I rolled them instead of trying to spray indoors and that hurt the finish..oh well, I'm way ahead and have a happy wife.

Thanks...I thought I would like a bigger house when I moved from Roseville, but all it has meant is there is more things to break, fix, or improve and when they do, it takes 5x the time:/
