Ok, let's write... Today I want to write, but I don't know about what I want write. There are a lot of things that I can say, about the Spain situation, the problems of my environment, the weather, etc... But this is boring. Well, I decided to tell us about one of my hobbies, I really combined two hobbies, the videogames and the DIY. How I made this? Easy, I'm a passionate of the 80's arcade cabinets and today is difficult to find a old good looking cabinet, because them are normally broken, dirty or incomplete. A few moths ago, better said, two years ago (because the time runs fast!), I picked up a cabinet furniture, the typical cabinet that gave me a lot of hours of entertainment when I was child, and I prepared it to be restored to its original state. That was the intention, the results was different. Obviusly I was green on this kind of DIY and I don't had looked all of the defects and issues that I would need to repair. A big error I did, because the furniture base was rotten (this word causes a smile on my face, I work on a T-Shirt shop where we personalise clothes and we have in the top of sells the Johnny Rotten shirt... I didn't know that he is called "Juanito Podrido" :D), I needed to remove the base and replace it with new wood board. I had to sand all the furniture being patient -difficult for me with some works, and sand a furniture is one of this works that I want to finish as soon as possible-, when I finished the sand work I painted the cabinet, installed all electrical components and worked on the computers tune up. Ok, can sound good but two years later I'm not finished yet... allways I have to make a retouch... I can write lines and lines about this hobbie, but you probably don't want to correct a "The Hobbit" like book about arcade cabinets!!! Regards!!!

Ok, let's write...

Today I want to write, but I don't know about what I want write. There are a lot of things that I can say, about the Spain situation, the problems of my environment, the weather, etc... But this is boring.

Today I want to write but I don't know what to write.  There are a lot of things that I could talk about such as the Spanish economic situation,  environmental problems or the weather, but these are boring.

Well, I decided to tell us about one of my hobbies, I really combined two hobbies, the videogames and the DIY. How I made this? Easy, I'm a passionate of the 80's arcade cabinets and today is difficult to find a old good looking cabinet, because them are normally broken, dirty or incomplete.

Well, I have decided to tell you about one of my hobbies.  Actually I have combined two of my hobbies, videogames and DIY (do it yourself projects).  How am I going to do this you ask?  I'm passionate about arcarde cabinets from the 80's and today it is difficult to find a good looking cabinet as most are normally broken, dirty or imcomplete.

A few moths ago, better said, two years ago (because the time runs fast!), I picked up a cabinet furniture, the typical cabinet that gave me a lot of hours of entertainment when I was child, and I prepared it to be restored to its original state.

A few months ago, or more like two years (as time really flies), I picked up an old cabinet of the type that provided me with many hours of entertainment when I was a child and I began to restore it to its original condition.

That was the intention, the results was different.
Obviusly I was green on this kind of DIY and I don't had looked all of the defects and issues that I would need to repair. A big error I did, because the furniture base was rotten (this word causes a smile on my face, I work on a T-Shirt shop where we personalise clothes and we have in the top of sells the Johnny Rotten shirt... I didn't know that he is called "Juanito Podrido" :D), I needed to remove the base and replace it with new wood board.

That was my intention however the final result turned out to be quite different.  Obviously, I didn't have much experience with this type of restoration and therefore I overlooked many of the cabinet's defects and other issues that would need to be repaired.  One thing that I had not initially noticed was that the base of the cabinet was rotten (this word brings a smile to my face.  I work in a T-shirt shop where we personalise clothes and our top selling item is the Johnny Rotten shirt.  I didn't know that he is called "Juanito Podrido).  I ended up having to remove the base and replace it with a new wood.

I had to sand all the furniture being patient -difficult for me with some works, and sand a furniture is one of this works that I want to finish as soon as possible-, when I finished the sand work I painted the cabinet, installed all electrical components and worked on the computers tune up.

I had to patiently sand all the pieces of the cabinet which was difficult for me as I dislike sanding and want to finish doing that job as soon as possible. After sanding I painted the cabinet, installed all the electrical components and gave the computers a tune up.

Ok, can sound good but two years later I'm not finished yet... allways I have to make a retouch...

Ok, I know this sounds good so far but it is now two years later and I'm still not finished yet because I always seem to feel the need to touch something up.

I can write lines and lines about this hobbie, but you probably don't want to correct a "The Hobbit" like book about arcade cabinets!!!

I can continue to write  more about this hobby but you probably don't want to correct a book that is as long as "The Hobbit" but is about arcade cabinets.

Regards!!!

Congratulations!!  This was a very long post but you did very well!  I found it easier to rewrite each paragraph rather than correct each error or make a change or addition.  Although it would be understood by any English speaker I think my changes and fine tuning have turned your post into a very informative and entertaining work. 

Remember that "the" is not always required before a noun.  When to use it and not to use it will come with practice.

Keep up your good work and I look forward to your next post!
