DAMN IT, I'll need to do some work around the house, too! This can't be allowed to continue, Zombies are taking over the handyman-world! 
Bah, currently I can't compete. I'll be back!

Service door under the weather? Zombie keeps it together!
Of course, something must come apart a little first and you can't be faulted for the care you're sparing that so often assailed kick plate.
Long parallel swipes for uniformity, noted. Good thinking there.
One could very much start to see a significant difference in surface reflection at the 1000 grit point. And then you went for vanity, mildly cloudy as it may marginally remain in the end. When that thing is back in place and the sun hits it, though, the boss may have to grab himself some shades.
Let it not stop you - carry on in your pursuit of excellence!

Spreading the joy of fresh paint for there to be no blemish or taint. Beyond mere good taste, quality, uniformity - you really let naught go to waste, Zombie.
Nice job on the stem guillotine. It sure looks sturdy and fit for the task.
Further note to self: no silly puns are to be made while you're handling a knife.
Will stay on the listening post for news of new project reveals.

The results speak for themselves, Zombie, as is customary with your top notch handiwork.
The seeming downside, of course, is that there's no rest for the wicked and you're a bit of a perfectionist too.
I do see those water spots, but you better tell yourself you have bigger fish to fry, because you do.

Plugging holes and covering stains, even when nobody complains!
Alright, Zombie, I suppose one could get past the little touch-ups on those boards, fast and loose remediation job as it was, and your everyday cart got the last remnants of a spray paint as a makeover real quick...
By contrast, what really takes the cake here is how adoringly cared for the park bench now is and still stands to be, as stated in your plans for extra coating top and bottom.
Something is going on - is that a picnic with the ladies I sense in the air? Well, if so, more power to ya!

GameStar's Bonus CD is a veritable technological time machine, Zombie. Looking at it one is reminded of both software and hardware that was in use back then.
Indirectly, it also puts into perspective the importance of such discs when Internet usage was not that profusely widespread (not to mention the speeds you could download stuff at) and the storage capacity meant you could cram quite a lot into one of these.
PC PowerPlay XCOM:EU demo disk - your sleuthing is noteworthy. Issue #210 is hidden in plain sight right at the center of the saucer on both the A and B sides. Worry not, it happens the best of us, and I don't mind counting myself in that number.

Thy speaketh of oddities, strange sightings and sensations. That be Flavor Adventures of the UFO variety!!
Orange peel and coriander, no less. Whatever will they think of next, eh, Zombie?
Here's a slogan for them: "A taste of alien goodness."

Do you expect the tool coating to last for several years? In my experience any colour on any of the tools was... well, sanded away pretty quickly by the... sand!
Actually I'm more annoyed by the colour particles making its way into the soil than I am by the degradation of the tools. Especially the wheelbarrow that had a thick layer of green colour and it is dropping off in flakes. I hate to see the chemicals in the compost, ending up in the salad garden.

• Offline cataloguing: ckeck.
• Online logistics update: check.
One thing is for sure - there's no shortage of mislabeled games merchandise on sale out there and, beyond that, there's always room for obfuscation in collections where some titles take the headlines while the rest get buried in the small print.
Then there's the sort of merchandise that never got any visibility or wasn't made public in the first place, which makes it very hard to even properly search if you can't guess the right criteria.
The truth is you've managed to dig up a heck of a lot as it is. So, seek and you shall find, Zombie!

There's something to be said about always having the right tool for the job, and that certainly seems to be your case there, Zombie. 
They look pretty sturdy too (say, those are some thick teeth on that pitch fork), which, coupled with your regular care, makes it no wonder they've lasted as long as they have.
The rolling cart can definitely benefit from your further loving attention, though, as it's rather showing its age/handling in some spots.

You should have a seat on the Board of Board Preservation, Zombie.
After all your TLC the plants could only look their best back at the greenhouse. Very photogenic indeed!
Proud may you be, Mr. Busy Bee.

From seemingly worn out to classy in a single coat of paint?! Takes a zombie to pull this one off.

Looking at that magenta PowerPlay CD - Schnupperspiele?! *sractches head*
And just look at that sweet GameStar CD illustration. I guess that's what they call drop dead gorgeous?
Just reading the names of the games mentioned there, it's a who's who of some of the very best classic titles of the time. Baldur's Gate, Diablo, Starcraft, C&C 3, Age of Empires, Freespace...
Good stuff, Zombie. May your hunt be bountiful!
