Anyway, today I went over and got a neighbor's tractor to rebuild the driveway easement through our land that goes to their son's place. It was all rutted and saucered out so I pulled the edges in to start to get it crowned. Had to quit when the sun got too low and I couldn't see looking right into it. I'll smooth it out more tomorrow but at least it's starting to resemble a road instead of a ditch.

Moved wood from the splitter to the stacks. Picked up more free wood down the street . Storm took out a lot of trees and limbs. Wood pile keeps growing

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Ive been on a truck and truck parts selling frenzy. No more trading stuff, it always finds its way back, cash only. Working on building up my hobby account so I can work on this. Finally took it out of its long term resting place and knocked the bird poop and cobwebs off. They look so nice when they are wet =). Getting closer to bringing it home.
But ... there is always a but haha. When I was cleaning it a couple of guys pulled in and asked if it was for sale. I said maybe if the number is right, but I'm not naming that number you have to. I gave em my phone number, doubt Ill hear back.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I washed my 911. I was about half way through. Soap all over the car when mother nature came a calling. Bad timing. #2 was knocking at my back door. And knocking pretty hard.
So the car wash became a rush job. And I managed to finish it up and goose stepped as fast as I could back into the house. And my wife was off work today so we went to lunch and I had one of the hottest Italian sandwich's ever. Loaded with hot peppers. It fried my taste buds. But it was so good. Goose step again tomorrow I guess once that thing hits.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I cut and hauled a couple pickup loads to the one of the woodpiles near our house today and yesterday. There's two more logs and then four or five logs that were the skids. One good sized log usually makes a pickup level load. That's about enough weight for a half ton pickup. Some of those blocks of wood are too heavy for me to pick up. I have to park with the tailgate over one of the skids and then roll the block up on the skid log and then tip/roll it up on the tailgate! I'm not sure how I will load the cut up blocks from a couple of the big skid logs? Probably use one block sitting flat as a "step" to roll/tip the blocks up on the tailgate, then I will have to leave that last block unless I get help to load it. I had told the guy that I didn't mind big logs but I forgot about lifting a green block 24" diameter and ~14" long. If I get another load like that I may have to get one of the cheap HF boom hoists that you bolt in the corner of a pickup.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Spent more than I wanted to on it but now I have something that should outlast me . Dont do much tile
Quote:
I wouldn't be working on it right now as it has been beautiful here weather wise. But I only have 4 weeks till I get my hand surgery. Then I cant do much for 4 or 5 weeks . It's amazing how much faster it's going with the new saw.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I find myself more prone to wear a facemask doing things at work I used to be stubborn (careless?) about using one for. I figure, might as well use it for what it was made for

Great to see done I'm sure. I can't wait to get started on my tile work in the one bathroom this winter.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sat in the deer stand for a few hours with my daughter's boyfriend early this morning. Saw a few does and one small buck but nothing worth the effort once it was down.
Loaded up a small trailer that was my father in laws and I will tear the wood floor out, repaint the frame, and install a new wood floor. Use it behind my atv around my place after I fix it up. Started tearing the wood off this afternoon but needed to finish up installing the new outside lights by the garage doors so I could say I finished at least one thing.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It’s funny, I can tell your pretty detail oriented. Your probably like me, those little things drive you nuts but no one else will probably ever given it any further thought. I did a bunch of mud work on some of the walls in my my house late last summer into early October. There’s a few spots that drive me crazy after we got the walls painted, my wife couldn’t find them if I paid her $1,000 too.
This afternoon I made a couple of Green Chile apple pies with my little girl. She turns 6 this week. Crazy how time flies. Us New Mexicans(even adopted like my self) will put green Chile in anything I let my daughter put the lattice weave on. I think she did a pretty good job. I really didn’t do much to help her. I actually enjoy baking quite a bit.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I installed the thumblatches on the garage doors. Did some touch-up with the red paint. Only* thing left to do is garage door, slab, and run electric *. Probably more money there than the whole building. But electric is next. I have a conduit laid from the cellar, from when I did the concrete work outside the house.
All the walkway stuff is done. Last patch of stone waiting for grass to grow

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks great Tim. I did my slab in the garage at my rental when I lived there . Even doing all the labor it was expensive . I ran the electric myself also here you can do electric without a license. But you need to pass a small exam to do plumbing.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Plumbing is easy, you only need to know two things- "you know what" flows downhill, and payday is Friday. Well, that, and keep your fingers out of your mouth when you're working.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Fixing existing plumbing is no problem but anything new requires a test or a licensed plumber. I took it to put a new sink in my bar . Not a hard test at all but I said to the examiner (town building inspector) why they do it for plumbing and not for electricity and I added I never heard of anyone drowning doing pipes but have heard of people getting shocked doing electric. His response was I guess the plumbers union is stronger than the electricals
