I finished! Kind of...
Built the upper, lower, and installed traditional shiplap. Painted the walls today. Just need hooks. Then I start framing for my 1,200sqft basement. Yay!
Nice! The "Frogtape" really makes it pop.
No, in all seriousness -- looks fantastic! Deserving of a better class of mud than are most folks' mudrooms.
I am envious.

Great job - close to the kind of stuff we do -

Well, measurements aren't everything apparently. -
Tell that to my ex-wife.

1) this is not a response to any of the previous posts (not even @Viking64's)
2) the image might make a good badge*; @hermitism?

Neat-o.Kool picture done entirely with matchbooks!
Whoever made that should display it with a copy of the cover art from Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane's album, Rough Mix -- the cover of which was a montage of cigarette cards from the England of days gone by.

Don't remember cigarette cards in England - maybe were before I started the evil habit. I think a lot of the cards on the Rough Mix cover are "tea cards", which came in, errr, packets of tea. Trading cards came with other things as well like bubble gum and various sweets (candy).
The other theme on this cover is that the "Rough Mix" title in the top left hand corner is in pretty much the same font as Rizla rolling papers, and the yellow area the same shape as the pack. -
All I can say (bein' a Yank and all) is that I remember a reference to the cover's being a collage of "cigarette cards" in a contemporary review (which I am still seeking in the annals of https://www.americanradiohistory.com/index.htm).
I did find this -- but it's a modern reference and can't really be fact-checked for accuracy
https://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com/clapton-eric/pete-townshend-and-ronnie-lane-unsurpassed-masters-rough-mixes-audiofon-af19/The covers are rather splendid – featuring the original, unadorned U.K. sleeve featuring various vintage cigarette cards of the kind that might be framed & displayed in a local hostelry. With Audiofon’s newly used casual font adorning the track listing on the back along with the familial picture of Pete & Ronnie sat back to back on a tree stump – this also appears in a larger size in the case back. Liner notes are amended & uncredited from the excellent Lostgrooves blog adding a small addendum at the end for the specific details of this disk. The only gripe would be the spelling of the ‘Stones drummers name – Who is ‘Charly Watts’?
I also note a reference to cigarette cards in Tom Robinson's song 1967 (So Long Ago) as performed on The Secret Policeman's Ball (The Music) -- an album dating from about the same era as Rough Mix and also featuring a trio of absolutely superb, gossamer Pete Townshend acoustic performances.

Oh, and... finally... Rough Mix is a magnificent album, in a way that one would never have expected from Big T (unless one were very familiar with his other early solo work and the influence of Meher Baba in his life, especially in those days). It sounds really good, too.

Don't break your fingers Googling - it is very likely to be my memory, And yes, Rough Mix is an excellent album - one of my favourites. I think it may be one of the few albums I have on vinyl, cassette and CD!

So I did the Googling. Turns out that British cigarette cards died out after WWII, which is why I don't remember them. Looking at the age of some of the images, they probably are pre-war cigarette cards. I guess I just grew up knowing those little cards as tea cards.

Each to his own tea, I suppose... à la The Rutles.

... and that must be why I remember it, then?

I didn't see any pug puns during my meticulous research, unfortunately.

I’m fairly confident that the text part of that album cover is inspired by the historic RIZ•LA+ cigarette paper packets (for rolling your own). They don’t look the same now, but I’ve seen a few packets on old posters in Parisian cafés...mhardy6647 wrote: »Whoever made that should display it with a copy of the cover art from Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane's album, Rough Mix -- the cover of which was a montage of cigarette cards from the England of days gone by.
There’s some history of the brand from their own website HERE. If you scroll down, you’ll see the characteristic sloping upper case letters, and some also had that striped background.
Stick that in your repertoire of album décor lore, FWIW! There’s not much hope of verifying the accuracy of my suggestion without spending more time researching that I am willing to sacrifice to the endeavor.Alea jacta est! -
