The HMT Doormat Travis/Jeff Style
 
It has come to my attention that I was in dire need of a doormat for my new place. Me and my buddy travis stopped by home depot and didnt care for the selection they had availble. So we crafted our own at low costs on a 3 dollar budget.

Starting off with supplies...
24in x 72in Green Cheap Astro Turf
12in x 72in Dead Grass Astro Turf (brown)
Gel Epoxy (90 sec)

Getting setup

Watch as Travis hand cuts each letter with precise craftsmenship

As we soon found out Epoxy stinks up the computer room quite rapidly.

Mom's tacky glue and no-stich glue with a hint of hot glue gave us a nice seal with the letters.

And walah... You have a HMT Engineered Floormat @ the low price of 3.50

Will these be coming in other color options? Or is green and BROWN the official HMT colors and you're sticking with it no matter what? :P Do tell. Cuz I'd like to get my hands on a orange and white one, or perhaps orange and black.

No silly, I'm not going for seasonal. I live in corvallis. Home of the failure Beavers. (cival war was an embarrassment this year) And even though they just got their asses kicked royaly by the ducks, I still support my team. *raises mug of chi tea*To the continuation of the Home Advatage tradition!*lowers mug*

---- no, that was the cheapest astro turf HD had on hand.. Other colors were to expensive way out of the jeff/travis budget. :P

I think I ripped a letter off this morning when I was going to work, :-\ Possible safety pin upgrades are in the works or a full jb weld rework. http://www.importmix.com/mb/images/smilies/yes.gif
