Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
what I did on Sunday was run out to the rural Ace Hardware for some Sakrete. Paul, a member from this site who doesn't 'attend' these days, is a manager there and was working that day. We started off catching up, him telling me plans for his '72 K/20 that has been sitting. We were rudely interrupted (
![]() Also, Paul is good with the things I am not, computers and dumb phones (some say smart). He helped my with a computer I had one time. I was showing him pictures of my "Barn Move" project, him holding the phone, and he saw I had no arrow to skip back out of there. I told him it's the same when I view a picture in a text, I get stuck there, have to go to my contacts, and select 'text' to get back to the message. Just last week I had T-Mobile do a factory reset and there were new things that were hanging me up. In just a few minutes he had me all fixed up so my phone is now somewhat user friendly, not as dumb as it was ![]()

.357 does some wall damage too, not that I would know that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got my cuts made on my "blown over oak tree" 54 feet of 22" plus logs.
3-12s a 10 and an 8. It knocked over another big red oak 22" plus. Got a 10 and an 8 out of it. We are gonna pull em out with a good size tractor if it will ever stop raining. Drove a lot of wedges and it don't take near as long to give out handling a saw as it used to.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Spent 4 hours block sanding the doors and trunk lid of a 37 Packard convertible. First skim coat. Thursday we spray "poly" filler and more more block sanding.

I sanded a little today myself. A homeowner wanted me to make her a shelf for over the sink in her tiny under the steps bathroom. I scrounged up the materials from under a lean-to off of her barn. Rags to riches. That wood was so filthy I had to scrub it up first. I put it by a heater to get it good and dry. Got the pieces made up, filled the imperfections, sanded, and assembled it. It gets painted white, then installed tomorrow

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Cool shelf. I used to love wood working. Back when we built houses on the side , I loved the framing and the finish work. Painting, drywall, and electrical was tedious. I worked with a guy that made wooden pen and pencil sets. I bought a couple of sets through the years. My son got a pallet in at his workplace once from India. It was some of the darkest exotic wood you have ever seen. He made us each a set out of that wood. Stuff like that interests me.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I never thought of how there'd be woods from around the world coming here as pallets. I am all about the reuse/salvage thing these days. I keep small pieces of the more interesting lumber to make smaller things from. Heck, I even make special mouldings out of scrap framing limber, just crappy white pine. I'll get a picture of where I dug this wood out from. The shelf itself was cut off a 16' length of window sill stock, the piece between the brackets was a primed (and weathered) piece of clear Douglas Fir true 5/4" with a beveled rip for something exterior, and the brackets came from my scrap stash, 3/4" x 3" clear cedar left over from something. No money what so ever into materials and it's all good stuff. I used the cedar for being clear and softer for ease of shaping, being so small. We figured 23"L x 4"W would do it. The sink is a tiny roundy cool porcelain cast iron wall-hanger like you'd see in a service station bathroom. She didn't want people setting things on the back ledge (for some reason). I'll get a pictures once painted and hung. Glad you liked it

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went over to the rental house for a daily check. Turns out that the prospective buyer was there with a contractor, taking measurements. The realtor left (which I understand is allowed) them alone with the house, but didn't close the lock box back up, so the keys were available to them. They had enough time to make copies if they so desired, since I didn't think at that time to close the box back up. The realtor was supposed to come back and lock up. The only reason I can think of for the realtor to come back is because the keys shouldn't be available to prospective buyers. I'll have to ask my wife and our realtor that question. I went back over and the place was locked up, but that doesn't mean that the keys haven't been copied. Given that it took us 9 months to evict the non-paying tenants, I'm concerned. I may just go over and change the locks tomorrow, just to be less concerned. $40 well spent, and I can use new locks over here when it's all said and done.
One of my concerns is that when I went into the back yard ( the first time) to go into the garage, the prospective buyer was all smiles, but the contractor looked like someone who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He was also keeping his face turned to the side while the prospective buyer and I were taking. Not a good sign.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That isn't an Alder, is it? If it is I didn't know they got that big.
I took a picture of where I went shopping for the wood to make that little shelf Here is that tiny sink the shelf will be hung above That bathroom is tiny, too, built under the stairs This is a part of the kitchen counter I built for her 5 or more years ago. It's from a white oak that was 250 years old when cut and milled. It came from a 250 year old building. so the tree started growing 500 years ago

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bought a nice leather couch and loveseat on FB. Good deal and the guy literally lives across the street from me.
I only have one worry about having leather couches. Some of you may remember my last leather couch. Duke didn't care for it. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Digging the 500 year old wood countertop too. That reminds me of a tree on the edge of Ky lake a couple of bays down from the Aurora bridge. It was a humongus red oak about 7 or 8 feet in diameter. When they filled the lake in the 1940s, it came close to being flooded. There were many local stories and eve a writeup or two in the paper about it. There are several pictures floating around from the late 1800s and it was huge then.
As far as I know, it is still there. It was guessed to be a 1700s tree.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah, sits in the shade quite a bit on the north side of the hill. Some of it is about 2'' thick. Gotta brush the chain saw blade back and forth a couple of times to find the trunk. What was kinda funny is that there were tire tracks in the snow under the tree. So it fell sometime in the early morning after somebody in the neighborhood went to work. Couple pics after about 5-6 hours of work
