What do you think about it?

Wow, beautiful work, I love that finish. Did you do that yourself!?!?!

I need to get into a house so I can start stumbling my way through some of these home improvement projects...It must be nice to have things exactly as you'd like.

(hah, the payphone is cool as hell as well.)

Good job DJ! It looks sweet.

janmike

Very nice job. I love that pay phone.

disneyjoe7

Thanks everybody.


I did have a little help about 30% of the time, but I needed his help to put the 12' boards up. The 12' boards could be warp a little so I needed to have a nail or 2-3-4-5 to help me get the board straight.


BTW the Payphone works but I need to replace the mic in the headset. But parts for Payphone are hard to find

Fireman32

Looks awsome man!! the payphone is the best. Whats the cost to make a call?

michael_w

Hard to find? Parts can be 'found' everywhere. I'm curious how you got the first one to begin with

steveinaz

I've been following this project, what a difference that makes, cool man. You did a great job!

The PayPhone gets a lot of interest. I take a nice picture of it tomorrow. Cost to make a call.... Hmmm whatever you would like to donate It has been modified to work like any other phone pick up and dial, the ringer has been also modified to be soft. If my phone rings at 2am I didn't what my neighbors to be woken up also. :rolleyes:

Thanks Steve, I know you have been following this project, so you given it a thumbs up make me happy. The crown molding I think makes that ceiling myself as there's crown molding around the house, tying the whole house together better.

What parts do you need? I have 2 payphones. One right outside my business and the other at the corner store.


But I'm sure you can find a payphone somewhere that has the parts you need.:D .

Very nice work.

Still I been working on that door a little I painted the white trim around the door which I think makes it look a little wider. It really doesn't look so odd in person, but the ceiling is 10' the door is 30" not a 36" wide door. The door goes to a bathroom so I understand the 30" door thing overall.

A Handset, but I found a **** looking one around work just now, I try that a see if it's not that or something else.

Good job. So what kind of wood do you use in Florida? Almost Looks like yellow pine, but it must be cedar.

Great work!

A thong and grove pine V board. Stained a Red-Tone deck, fence and house stain, that's a bit of a pain to get even. Must use the foam applicator, but gives it a sheen which protects and makes it a water proof ceiling. You never know what a thunder storm may do to a porch ceiling or one of those H :eek: storms. Yuk.

It looks like someone may have spent too much time watching the ladies on the beach.












That or he doesn't know how to spell tongue which isn't nearly as funny.

Great job on the workmanship though

disneyjoe7

LOL, Damn spell checker I knew that word was wrong.

disneyjoe7

Here's a bigger picture of the Phone because I felt the love, also I fixed the phone just a bad handset connection in the phone, reseated all connections while in there. I just about dropped the phone on my foot, when I putting it back together and touched a modified chip in the phone while trying to reconnect the face cord to the base jack. All is well now so it makes a little funny story now.

Nice work bro, looks like I can tie the Camel up under the trees, please just let the grass grow. See you soon.

Nice work Steve. How about a zoom photo so we can see the number to call you at?

disneyjoe7

Payphone's don't allow incoming calls
