Another Cabinet Re-Do

[bhays]

I have a pump in the garage for my lawn sprinklers...it's ugly and can't be moved as the well is drilled right there as well. So, I had to find a way to conceal it.

I found an octoganal shaped cabinet from a local store that they were getting rid of...another freebie. I cut it in half, notched out the floor to fit around the pump, painted it gloss black to match the workbench cabinets and got another sheetmetal top made (hit me for $17) this time. There you have it, a $17 tool stand that hides an ugly sprinkler pump.. This will be the home for my drill press, etc.

NIce solution for covering up an ugly pump.

Can you share what is happening with what looks like a structured wiring solution?

TIA

There's not a lot to share. It's there and really can't be moved, no good way to hide it. Same with the water softener...*****..

Great looking cover, almost looks like a mini-bar. Good place to put a beer while resting between jobs!

What did you paint it with?

That one I just painted with automotive primer, then three coats of rustoleum gloss black enamel. I ran out of the single stage automotive black I painted the other cabinets with...definitely not as hard a finish, but still looks nice and should hold up well enough..
