Got the ceiling done in the shed. Rather than corrugated tin, we decided to use cypress and tin strips. I laid on my back and took a couple of shots. What do you think of this one-of-a-kind ceiling.?

Yeah, that's a crying shame they crumble like that. Eric O says 5-7 years in NY is all any of them are good for up there.

My son emptied about 25 sacks of mulch into the planters in front of the house. I gimped around. picking up the empty bags and swept up after. At least it's getting done. We had two transformers replaced on our block. That's a big deal, as the electrical is underground here, and the transformers are buried in select back yards. So, crane work. I now know the locations of three of them (NIMBY). :lol: Must be at least one more? Power was off for 5 hours. Those guys are quick and efficient.

not sure if it's a 2014 or 2015, but it's in real nice shape, old man driven truck. Sorry to hear about your Father-in-law. If they use salt on the roads up there, check the frame over carefully. MAJOR issue with the frames rusting out down here in the salt states. Outside can look like new and the frames are swiss cheese. The problem is so common, there are companies making repair kits for them. https://www.autorust.com/product-cat...en-double-cab/ |

at 87 though he hardly drove it, let alone in the winter. they do brine our roads occasionally, but after that it's mostly just sand they use Quote:
bit of a war going on between my wife and her 3 other sisters right now. last month he was in the hospital for 3 weeks, and he hates it, does not want to go back. (nurse gave me hay for sneaking him in some beef jerky a few times) now that we got the word, wifes other sisters say he should be at the hospital or pallative care, which he does not want. and as far as me and wife are concerned, it's his choice, and to tell you the truth, wife and i belive he should have the right to die with dignity where he wants to. wife has taken a few weeks off work and goes over there everyday to help him |

And Dieseldawg, I hope, for your sake, the frame is clean, but I strongly recommend you take it to a reputable repair shop and have them put it on a hoist to inspect the frame from the inside out. Bending down and looking at the outside of the frame will not show any signs of the problem starting, as the rust comes from the inside and by the time you see a bubble or rust stain on the outside the damage is far worse than it looks. Don't mean to be a jerk, but I've seen dozens of these frames that the owners thought were fine until our guy started picking at it and found holes thru rails and cab and spring mounts almost ready to fall off. Yes, these are extreme cases, but unless you have it inspected you'll never know if there is a problem developing that you can have preventive measures performed to stop the advance. |

Boxed frames are a stupid unnecessary mistake. Land Rovers had the problem in the '50s and '60s. Nothing wrong with C-channel frames. They outlive boxed. Big rigs have C-channel frames. They're pretty strong I think
