I'm always worried about that, It would be hard to sell our house half finished and you never know, right??
BTW, We turned a small room into a big closet and we call it a dressing room, anyway, it is kinda FF themed as in to say east-meets-west, beige with gold and burgandy accents and asian decor..Inara would approve..
Also, tonight I was watchin NCIS and the gals name was Lt. Reynolds and the one of the first thing she said was "Wish like hell I was elsewhere" She even sounded like Mal...except she was preggers, lol....

I could see where you're coming from on the garage JO753. Lived my life without one to this point. I love it though. I don't plan on ever not having one again. 
Any ideas about how to get the goods to make a Firefly room? Short of making every little thing myself, I can't imagine it wouldn't cost a fortune to have somebody make all of that custom.
Hehe.... My step-dad does furniture restoration and has just branched out into custom woodworking in the last few years to try to expand the business and keep it afloat in these bad times. Maybe we could make a template and be the first to put together sets for people who want a Firefly dining area in their own house.
Do you think that would be copyrighted?
If it was, do you think it could still be advertised online as a "MalRen" Dining room or something like that without being sued? I'm sure we couldn't use the words "Firefly" or "Serenity" to advertise it, but there should be a way to replicate a set. I know there are replications of Mal's jacket and other costumes available online.
Hey Wishimay,
How come it's all fun and games when we all make jokes about "Bobbitig" the goods, but if the tables were turned and I started making jokes about using a sawzall to shave off a few boobies as an update to Jack the Ripper's MO with new tech, I'd be the bad guy? 
'59 certainly seems to be a good vintage, overall. I love the hardwood floors on the first and second floor. I bet the electric was pretty decent when it was first made, but with 3 or 4 owners before me, it looks like there's been a lot of cheap and easy "upgrades". I'm sure if I was a real electrician, I could really map down every wire to the nitty gritty, but it seems that that is beyond my scope. I really thought I had that all figured out until the "dead" outlet I was working on when I shut the power off to the second bedroom, as well as the master bedroom and the entire finished attic, and sparks flew when I cut the negative wire.
LOL.... I also noticed that the one outlet in the Master Bedroom that my alarm clock was plugged into wasn't controled at all by this breaker since the clock was still on. If I had to guess, it's on the Living Room breaker.
It's all rather moot at this point though, since I don't think I'll ever do any electrical work inside the house without turning off the main after what happened the other day.
I'd love to update it all, but I'm not in the mood to gut the entire 1st and 2nd floor to make the electric right. It is what it is....
Haha... I love that Pot'n'Kettle shirt :)
Just make sure you're cognizant of what neighborhood you're driving through if you put it on your bumper.
I never put anything on my bumper, be it a joke or a political statement. You never know what crazy out there will take it the wrong way and try to knock you off the road.

Making the Serenity dining room for yourself will certainly require you to upgrade your capabilityz. But thats how you get better at thingz - take on challengez.
Duzn't seem like a commercial opportunity to me, but wut do I know?

I'd think you could get some of the different chairs at flea markets, goodwill, or furniture resale places. Paint the walls a yellow squash color, and I know I have seen stencils for sale online just like Serenity's. Maybe cabinets could be the color of the lockers, not necesarily lockers. The table would be a toughie...you don't see many like that. Tell visitors that you are a fan of a style called homespun shabby chic...
I have also seen instructions for making the candle basket on the table here just this year, should be in the thread listing somewhere's...
I wouldn't mind having the sitting room with the table. Provided people could keep from throwin' that table around... Not so sure visitors would understand the safety harnesses, either...
Oh, and Jack?... if ye want my boobs, you can have 'em...I want bigger ones anyway 
Hubby nods approvingly...

Just logged in for the first time in years, I think... the netflix news brought me back, and I want to check out what I can do to participate.
I think most of the veterans kinda lost interest (I mean, most of us have been extremely active in trying to bring Firefly back for years, to no avail) and were replaced by the next generation of people who discovered Firefly.
I'm quite sure we'd all be back if need be. Browncoats 4 Life! ^^

Thanks for the brainstorming, but if I did this...
"This has to be PERFECT, Miss Lemon"
Sorry, I've been catching up on 30 Rock, and Tracy Jordan is on of the best comedy TV characters ever made, even though I didn't like any of Tracy Morgan's skits on SNL before I stopped completely watching it altogether.
SNL has suffered from bad writing for at least 20 years now. Adam Sandler is funny, Mike Meyers is funny, Tracy Morgan is funny, and Tim Meadows was the red-headed, black, stepchild. As amazing as these, and other SNL vets are, the material seemed to drag a 1 1/2 hour show to to 4 hours of torture because it sucked so much. We'd all just stick around every week and watch a billion commercials for that time to see the 20 seconds of comedy we needed for the week.
Speaking of Tim Meadows... forget about the Ladies' Man.... this was his best skit....

Anyways, good suggestions about the Firefly dining room there, but if I do it, it has to be perfect, otherwise people might ask why I have a second, weird looking, dining room in my basement :)
As far as the table goes, I bet my step dad could make it possible. I could work with him to make it when he has some down time at the furniture restoration shop and I'm sure he'd only charge me for materials. He'd get a thrill out of building a table from scratch with me for my new house.
But... That's all just a spur of the moment pipe dream. In the end, I probably won't do it. If I did, I'd have two dining rooms and a pool table would be out of the question. The room I'm talking about doing this in, until a few days ago, I already had other plans for.....
A big screen TV mounted in one corner, high on the wall, like at a sports bar, a pool table, and a MAME arcade cabinet monster that would support 4 player action for games like TMNT and the Simpsons, as well as a trackball in the middle for supporting Golden Tee games. Oh yeah, and at least one kegerator, but probably two so I can have cheap beer and good beer on tap at the same time for when company comes over.
Haha.... Boobies. My step-mom always talks about how she wants new boobies too. My dad, who's 20 years her senior, could sure as hell afford them in his retirement, but if he believed there was anything wrong with her he would have done it already. I know how women are about self image and stuff, but not every guy in the world wants a Lara Croft wife.
Everything is cyclical in life, and I think natural boobies are making a comeback. Katrina Bowden from 30 Rock was voted Esquires 2011 sexiest woman of the year by the readers. She's hella fine, for sure, but compared to previous winners Scarlett Johannson, Meghan Fox and Angelina Jolie, she's severely lacking in that department. I'm sure in real life she could reduce me into a drooling, bumbling moron in less than 30 seconds, but that still doesn't change the fact that she's a large B cup at best.
Besides, agree with the guy or not, but when Mancow was still on the rad

Oh, BTW.....
Thankfully, I'm in much better spirits tonight than I as last night.
I didn't want to be a Debby Downer before I needed to be, but when I was removing drywall on the 2nd floor to make the electric stuff good, I removed a 2 1/2 foot section (only 1 foot high), and there was black mold on the drywall where ti came into contact with the tracks. I freaked out that it was up that high.
Mold Remediation 101......
Figure out where the mold is coming from before you "fix" anything.
I was at a loss.
I told my mom and step dad about it last night, and today my mom asked me if any of the previous owners had dogs or cats. What a good question!
Given the materials used, I'm quite sure I'm removing stuff that was installed when the house was built. For instance, why would use nails to install drywall today when you have superior drywall screws that are rust resistant?
Sure enough, when I removed the other 8 feet of drywall that had to be removed there was no evidence of mold.
NOTE TO SELF: If you ever plan on owning a dog, a cat, or a child, don't have carpeting in rooms they are allowed in.
As a side note, holy shit those studs, tracks and insulation is ancient. My gramps wasn't home from WWII for 8 years before that was all put up. I can't even imagine how much asbestos I've breathed in yesterday removing that drywall with a power saw.
If I didn't smoke, I'd probably give a shit.
Tomorrow, as an encore, I will be eating the paint chips off the wall.
I've read Marvel Comics when I was a kid. That kind of shit give you super human powers.
I'm LEAD MAN!!!!
Iron Man ain't got nothing on me bitch!

6string, If they bring back anybody frum the original cast for a movie or a new show, they coud just place the time 10 or 20 yirz beyond the Firefly period.
