Re: My Facetruck thread.
Oh man. That can turn into flu or pneumonia real quick. But don’t stay in the hospital too long. There’s sick people in there!!! ;)
Speedy recovery to you. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
We're pulling for you Dale.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Here you go Dale.
A thief entered a house mid-afternoon. He tied up the woman and at knife-point asked the man to hand over the jewelry and money. The man started sobbing and said, "You can take anything you want. You can kill me also. But please untie the rope and free her and let her leave." Thief: "You must really love your wife!" Man: "No, Please hurry, she will be home shortly". |
Re: My Facetruck thread.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I'm beginning to get my mothers estate on the road to closure.
The only piece of property of my mothers I didn't have covered was her house. My mother had a will. I had three friends of mine witness the will when she signed it years ago. The problem is I didn't have the will notarized. I needed my friends to go by the lawyers office and verify their signatures. Luckily, two of them are still alive.These are the times you find out what a friend really is. They did it with smiles on their faces. This event has caused me to get my things in order. My wife and I met with our lawyer yesterday to check on our trust. Without direction, I'm not sure anybody would figure out what to do with my world if I checked out. If you own anything, anything at all, get your things in order. Don't put your kids through the probate thing. It's an avoidable waste of money. |

This is SO important It lets YOU be in control of your estate And who gets WHAT Instead of YOUR heirs fighting over Who THEY think should get WHAT If you earned it, it’s your choice what to do with it . |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I entertained one of the grandsons all day yesterday, so I missed this flurry of social drinking.
I'm going to have to make a Jack run soon. I have one nights worth left. That should last me a week. I ignored the bottle of Jack. I was too busy admiring Dale's old school axle truss. It's unlike me, but I woke up wide awake while ago and I guess I was hoping you guys could bore back to sleep. :lol::lol::lol: |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
I could tell you an old sea story... but that might put the whole internet to sleep :lol:

Well, it got crazy windy yesterday afternoon and was to be bad all day today. Talking 40-50 mph. So jacking the floor was my bad weather alternative. Got there today and the side we are working on wasn't so bad we couldn't keep on with buttoning up the outside. So tomorrow a will a be a the day a. This is that big Victorian chicken shack. I rebuilt 12-14' of wall from foundation to roof (24' balloon frame). It had 1" x 12" poplar plank sheathing and I went back with two layers of 1/2" plywood. We buttoned that up today. It was quite windy though. But we were on the leeward side.
Here's how the the first floor looked when I opened it up Attachment 1879741 Turn your head. Stupid computer wants it that way. It's right in my folder |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Thanks Boog. Water had been running down that corner of the house for decades. It had band aid repairs done in the past. That sill plate 'was' solid 4" x 12"! Those studs were dwindled down to 2 x 2 pulp wood up higher in the wall. I could grab and yank a handful out (w/o yanking). I replaced the dimensional 2" x 6" x 24' studs, one by one and after jacking the roof back up 2", with triple pressure treated (because yellow pine is better than common lumber) nominal 2 x 6 stagger spliced 16'/8', 8'/16',14'/10'. The sheathing boards were dimensional 1" x 12" diagonal and I went back with two layers of 1/2" plywood run horizontal staggering the seams both horizontal and vertical. On the inside, because the plaster & lath strips come to 1 1/4"-1 1/2" I'm going to run a layer of 1/2" plywood on the studs, then strips to bring 1/2" drywall to flush, then skim coat. I want the wall to feel solid as with the plaster. I am sure the back wall around the corner has problems from same leak. But that's another chapter. Also there are other areas with water issues
