Kitchen Chalkboard is open for business – DIY
Posted by Perrin Derrick On August 13, 2014
Kitchen progress – update on DIY Chalkboard
This year we have been working to freshen up the kitchen cabinets. Sure starting a home improvement project with a 1 month and a 2 year old is one of the worst ideas I have come up with, but the end product is coming out well. The progress is slow, but we are almost done.
Okay now that the kids are busy with their new chalkboard I will get back to painting door and drawer fronts. I will post an update once its up and looking how we want it to.
Thanks for watching

Foam the home office
Posted by Perrin Derrick On August 9, 2014
In August of 2013 I decided it would be better for the family and for the business if I had an edit place in our home. So I stole out back patio and closed it up.
So without a load bearing wall Grason and I busted away the brick columns and put in 2×6 studs in. Two new windows and a door completed my little 6.5 x 12 foot work cave. I roughed it all in and setup shop before It was completed properly.
Jump to August 2014
After working in it for a year I decided to take it from rough Sheetrock to completed audio/video studio work spot.
Years ago when I moved Big Box Pro out of my folks house and into a proper office building I teamed up with Michael Fuentes. We shared 300sf of office space in the Oil Industry building – Downtown Corpus Christi.
Over the years we had accumulated a lot of Auralex Acoustic Foam. This year he upgraded his studio and donated the foam to my new home/studio/office/suite/jam-room.
So the slow process is moving on. I’m really liking the way the room is coming out. The cedar bead board angled ceiling came out really nice. I will try to post new photos when I get all of the Auralex foam on the walls. Its a slow process of cutting and fitting each and every piece for a tight fit.

Public vs Private in Corpus Christi
Posted by Perrin Derrick On August 4, 2014
Help! our public landscaping in Corpus Christi makes out town look like crap.
When I travel I’m reminded how public services can work. Last week I had the privilege to work in McAllen, Texas. Despite sharing a boarder with a third world country McAllen has always been a very clean city. One of my buddies spent last weekend in McAllen and also came back impressed with this south Texas town. Next time you are in town compare the food, shopping and cleanliness.
Last week I really admired the landscaping and how sharp US-83 looked. While driving in Corpus Christi today I noticed how crappy our landscaping looked on South Padre Island Drive.
We can be better than this Corpus Christi. Right?
This is a vast contrast to what I saw in McAllen last week. The streets were clean and the landscaping looked as if it was done by a private company and not the municipal yard services. Clearly a good looking city can be done. I know there are folks in Corpus Christi who can pull this off because when I looked in the opposite direction of the mesquite tree growing on SPID and I saw Moore Plaza. The landscape beds had groomed oak trees and freshly turned mulch.
So take a look and ask yourself why our city doesn’t take care of what it has before it tries to build something else?
Please Corpus Christi lets take care of the things we have spent money on before we choose to build something else that will look great when we open it and then decay due to lack of maintenance.

Bicycle fix
Posted by Perrin Derrick On July 25, 2014
Today I had a little time to sit down and work on my bicycle. Last week 2 miles into a 22 mile ride I lost the function of my two smalleat chainrings. This sucked. It took my 24 speed and made it an 8. My middle chainring was bent and I had to be replaced.
I had an assistant today.
Benjamin helped turn the wrench and straighten my ring. Now that my chainring set is back in order I find my derailer has a bent screw. I now have a 16 speed bike and Benjamin knows how to disassemble a crank and chainring setup.
Off to ride

Benjamin posing for a quick shot this morning.
This is the end production of how it always works out. I grab the camera because one of the kids are pulling off something super cute or adorable. Once the camera app opens and I try to get the get the shot, the supet cute left the kid. So here you have cute without the super.
Enjoy your Sunday
