Another pic of the cabNote by moderator: You've been using the "Insert Link" icon for your pictures which show up in your posts as the numbers, which is kind of distracting. You shouldn't be doing that, but just attach them using the attachment manager. Located below the entry box for your post (when in Full Editor mode.)

Looks good. Your floor is a little rusty, but looks solid. Keep up the good work.
