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

[Lost in the 60's]

Well, that's sad to read she is in danger of losing her home/property. Lose her husband during a, normally, routine surgery and now might lose the home ? Any neighbors/community/family doing a fund raiser for her ?

I spent 3 days part time doing shirts for my side business.

Looks like fun. I make stickers and t shirts now and then. Not a side business, just stuff for family and friends.

I've been pressure washing the concrete block wall fences and front and back patios on my property. First day- guck spattered into my eyes, got wet trousers and shoes. Second day, wet trousers and shoes (raincoat and hat added). Third day, nothing (rubber boots added). The place is looking better, but I'm not really happy about washing the other 200 feet of fence, and there are enough voids in the mortar that need to be filled that I feel like hiring someone. People say, "No job too small", but I don't believe that. Sack of mortar, cake icing spewer and knee pads are in my future.

Yea I enjoy doing it. I don't do a lot of business. Seems like recently I've been busy though.

Phase 3 of the add on/remodel. Dining room and pantry are done and the she side shed addition is finished. On to the "He side". Chris wanted tounge and groove poplar. Got the main room walls covered over the last week and started on the bath today. I didn't think I would like it, but I really do. It is a pain but once it is up, I can walk away. Here is a look at the progress so far. I drew up a few renderings to show them and we still of course lack all the trim. I will build a 10' long bottom cabinet with a sink on the left wall like the drawing. I built some built-in shelving because there is no room for upper cabinets, due to the shorter walls.

Looks good! I really like that natural wood.

I was really nice out today so after taking the wife to the doctor and the washing the Burban. I started cleaning a timing cover for a 389 and things got out of hand.

Great Job.

We need to talk about your Draw-up stuff.

I like that system.

I will have to Tell you the Story of installing T&G Pine on the,
Ceiling of my bedroom at a 40 something degree angle.

[tutone]

Thanks Leon, the other shed was sheetrock and that wore me out.
And the drawing part, when I was a kid, my favorite toy was an etch-a-sketch. Now it is "paint" on the computer. It helps to have a plan. The ceiling would be easy but not at an angle. He wants galvanized barn tin. Oh joy.

[best view]

Talk him into doing 24 x24 tin tiles, strap it 2 ft on center , u can get it painted also goes on with nails

[tutone]

If you mean something like this, Im all in.

Moved two stacks of slab wood . Not an easy job slabs average 2 inch thick
7 feet long 30 inches wide . The dry ones are manageable the wet oak is another story . The roller helps a lot

I have two BX's Kabota's, one with bucket and back hoe-other with snowblower and sander on the back. When I'm gonna haul something heavy in the summer when the sander is off the second one, I either hook up the landscape rake or bush hog. I aint telling you how to do anything it just seems to work for me. On another note I just got an email from a nursery I buy fruit trees from in Mid-Coast Maine, they have some American Chestnut trees for Saale. I'm going to go down and get a couple. Maybe my grand kids can enjoy the shade some day! Keep posting this stuff please I really enjoy it.
Thanks,
Pete

I'm always planting trees on my property in southern MI so I looked up the American Chestnut to see if they grow in my zone as I haven't run accross them here. Had no idea there was a blight in the early 1900's that killed almost all of them off and it doesn't seem like they have it figured out yet. Crazy how this happens. Ash trees and the emerald ash borer for example.

More done on the new house, had to cut the concrete for the garage door rails, sheet rock the sides and top of door openings. Can't pickup the facia til Tuesday. after that is put up, they will install the garage doors.

[Boog]

Bud, I could drop a tail gate right there and stare out upon that view for hours.
You're a fortunate man.

Man it would be hard to get things done with a view like that.

[special-K]

I was thinking that's a great garage view myself

My wheelbarrow had an accident that broke one handle. Being the thrifty Handy Andy guy I am, I decided the wheelbarrow has plenty of life in it so I'll make new handles. They're still in an uncompleted state, but this is how far I got yesterday afternoon. I might still make the grab handles smaller and round like original, but as they are they have a good feel for my hands. I want to paint the wood black and thinking maybe sandblast the metal and paint Cat yellow, just for kicks. Maybe get some Caterpillar stickers

Looks good.

That's what happens when you lean on it too much....

[Boog]

That's what does it right there.

Occasionally I look at a wheel barrow and think I need one of those.
And then I come to my senses.

I lean on mine a couple of times a week. The handles on mine must be a little heavier than Tims...

My wife occasionally mentions we need a little trailer to pull around the yard with the lawn tractor. I again tell her we already have one. It's called a 5x8' utility trailer. I have a hitch ball mounted on the tractor to move that trailer and the fishing boat around the yard. Works great!
I just finished up prepping the lawn care equipment for the season this morning, and storms coming in late today. Figures..
