Sometimes you get that urge, especially when its nice as fuck out. (70 outside for 2 weeks with sun, ridiculous) Got sunburnt yesterday when it hit 80
So, I have a few home improvement items to take care of.
1) moving out of this house in 6 months and i have some nasty scratches i've put in the wood floor due to a shitty couch. best way to fill those and get my deposit back?
2) need to add an in-sink erator. doesn't make much sense but i have one so i might as well add it. anyone done this? practically no plumbing experience so it should be interesting... but i consider myself handy
3) somehow have to make my truck pass inspection again. that should be really interesting. i'm thinking a 20-spot upon inspection will be my best bet.
anyone got something they did recently that turned out cool? i converted a regular sized desk into an 8 foot bohemoth for all of my shit that looks awesome, but i need a new job.

On Yankee Workshop I made a 19th century French guillotine out of nice Maple stock.

you would kya.... you would.
i have enough trouble not cutting off my own finger with a cigar cutter when i'm drunk.... i don't need a guillotine in my house.

I get the urge to build shit quite regularly. I tend to start with some PFChangs and raw vegitables... usually the end product is on display the following morning! 
That's right folks I'll be here all week... try the special on the soft serve ice cream - two women can share one cup!
Regarding garbage disposals - naw.. not that bad since you don't need to worry about turning off water.
Regarding your wood floor - it all depends on how bad. If it's not too bad then you can get some wood putty (matching up the stain color) and fill it in.. if it's worse then pulling up the boards and putting them back in isn't too hard..

When I get the urge to go outside and build something, I say to myself "Hey, I should stay in and write some code". When outside is raining and horrible, I say to myself "Hey, I should stay in and write even more code".
I figure that if there is a hole in my roof, code will fix that. If I have a broken window, code will keep out the cold and if the bills go unpaid, code will pay them for me.
So if your door needs fixing, write up a patch in c++.

Pretty much the same for me. I want to do something important...I say to myself "Nah, I'll go on DIC or work on something myself".

Since when did shit have to be built? Last time I checked, it was made naturally.
