Dropped off the big guns on Friday. Dug the hole Saturday morning and started pushing the barn in. Finished pushing it in on Sunday and last picture is Noon on Monday. Finished it all up by 3pm. LockDoc |

Thanks Eric. I really hated to lose it but it was a real eye sore the way it was. Merry Christmas to you guys too. LockDoc |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hate to see an old barn go down, but mother nature forced this one. She was trying to push it down herself. You just gained a big footprint of ground

Here's my peeve. If they are so concerned about excess paint being hazardous waste, then why has it gotten to where buying two quarts costs about what a gallon does? It used to take three, quarts went up. So now, for economics it makes more sense to buy the gallon if you 'might' need to get into the third qt. Environmentally, that has created an excess of waste paint, a lot of half gallons (or more) get tossed |

My garbage company will take paints as long as they are hard meaning dryed . I've used cat litter to dry it . Guess as long as it cant leach into the soil it's all good . This is for modern paints not the old lead paints. We had a hell of a time getting rid of all the old Sinclair green paint my uncle had from the gas station . Some of the cans were 60 years old. Seems he would get a few gallons for free every year from Sinclair to paint the islands and trim .

Oh wow Leon!
Growing up in NY, I saw a lot of beautiful old barns collapse from snow loads. That barn was MASSIVE! |

Yes, big barn. That Derecho (wind storm) that went through ruined a lot of old barns around here. Now I have a lot more yard to mow...:) We are supposed to have 50-70 mile an hour winds again tomorrow. I need to batten down the hatches.... Bummer LockDoc |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Paid off our primary home yesterday. 8.5 years early from our original 30-year mortgage. Debt free 'cept for the new car we just bought The Queen. And at 1.79% interest, not sure we are in a big hurry to press that one.
It feels pretty damned good. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Congratulations! We're shooting for August 2022... but only to replace it with paying for daycare for the next few years...
I also took out a loan to buy my new Jeep TJ toy... personal loan at 3.1% was too good to pass up, as opposed to using my shop build money I have saved. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yep...easy $$$ these days. But, I have read that some folks are taking out equity loans at the super low rates and throwing the $$$$ at the stock market for the higher returns(?)...Not this kid. I don't mind a friendly game of Texas Hold'em for time to time. But, I wouldn't gamble that kind of $$$ in the stock market. My little 'ol portfolio gives me plenty enough heart burn as it is.
And childcare? I can't believe how expensive that has become. Good luck! |

Finished up my wife’s Christmas present 4 coats of Carnauba wax . This is Black Walnut . The cherry bowl I started needs a little more drying time it’s at 25% right now . So I made a makeshift kiln dryer ,a box with a 100 watt incandescent bulb .

Got lucky on this one. Just went out for a look around and no major damage. One small piece of fascia gone on the house and a few things blown around. Peak gust here was 70 mph. Good deal! 5 tornados reported in Western Iowa. LockDoc |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That was a nasty wind. Glad you were spared any serious damage. When we had that derecho come through here, my place was just outside its path. I was away in WVA for the weekend and the windows were open. Where I was got hit, but I was in a low area so it just shook the Jimmy up that I was sleeping in. But all around there was damage and power was out, like 8 powerline poles snapped in a row. I was at a flea market and the next morning no vendors were showing up. I was concerned about my house, but when I got home it didn't even look like any rain blew in.

OK, on a more positive note, I baked Sugar Cookies this morning. I wanted to start at 5am but the wife was still sleeping and I make a LOT of noise when I do anything in the kitchen. I'm not your conventional cookie baker so you never know what they are going to look like. Doesn't look like a lot of cookies but somehow some of the dough and a few cookies disappeared during the process....:(... The recipe says it makes about 40 cookies. I must have made them bigger than they did....:) LockDoc |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Last day of school for most kids. Those with A's, B's, and C's with no more than 4 absences this semester are done today. My Geometry classes made snowflakes. Here's my bulletin board with those snowflakes. I think they did a good job.

You know, they say no two snow flakes are alike. ;)
