The rubble wall should be a good place for pods to hide out and reproduce. It is going to be time for some pictures pretty soon you know, the natives get restless at times around here.

ok... soooo

i got the walmart stand... was high and cool... was going to seal it and reinforce but not wide enough... here it was tho... plus it went slightly out of my build concept which i didnt like but hey...




i scapped that due to the width... was going to bracket it to the wall and build up the back for the perfect cube dimensions...

but... nothing would go inside

so heres my ikea reject... the doors arent even put on straight haha... i was going to rehang them, but am toying with the idea of keeping them like that as it lends to the character of a reject stand haha

so... yesterday i treated the wood before the heavens opened
