I watched a video then got so far in over my head trying to run water lines through the ceiling between my grow area and laundry room. Had to bring dad in to bail me out and finish the job. He saw my plants... it was awkward for both of us.

Lol.
My mom let me grow in my bedroom closet for a couple years whenever I wanted up until I was 18. I built this big ass wood growbox in the garage. That’s when it got awkward for the both of us and so I moved out. Lol. Good times....

Yeah I wanted a farmer's sink like @WeedFreak78 has. But that will have to await new cabinetry. I like the colors too! I currently have stained hardwood. I've thought about painting them when I know I need to pull the doors, strip and refinish or my dad will haunt me.

It just seems wrong to me to paint a perfectly good hardwood. I know i couldn’t do it. Well maybe if the cabinets were in super good shape but super outdated wood/color like golden oak? Maybe?

My dad was a carpenter and most of my family was in the trades. So I spent summers 'helping'. I think I was pretty lucky.

So how did that go? Did you try to warn him first? so many questions.

Hey dad, meet my new room mates?


or did you go hard line on him

The hardwood faces are nice, but desperately in need of refinishing. Unfortunately they used pressed board in some places so really they need to go. At least I got to use my Unisaw and Incra fence (I love that fence more than my husband -- don't tell him), when I had to remove all the press board and replace it with plywood. So my kitchen needs gutted.

Edited to add: I would rather build new carcasses than redo old construction. I actually had to use a sled to angle cut because it's a fuckin' parallelogram.

My fist grow was in the window sill of my bedroom.

They did not live long. Surely it was my inexperience. I did not know why until just a few years ago.

The story came up in a family discussion and my mom revealed she salt watered them.:?
