Wow, yes, way more work than I would want to take on. Remove 6-8" of the solid ground behind that wall and replace with pea rock for better drainage.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I wonder if those tree roots won't push the wall out again.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Started a new project . Needed a new shed the barn is good but everything gets filthy with pollen and dust as it’s really a hay barn the siding all has 1/2 gaps to let air circulate.
Got the floor joists done now I’ll move it to the 4x4 supports

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Looks square n level to me.
I don't own a table saw and don't do much carpentry work these days anyway but I wonder if there is a jig so to speak to mount a 7" circular saw on to make long straight cuts like a table saw?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks guys. We just got back from a week long trip and turned in our rental Jeep today. We went to Mesa Verde and Four Corners where we bought new Navajo made Bands to replace the rings we can't wear anymore. We drove over 1100 miles and got an average of 34 miles per gallon.

That's what I'm talking about. And all these years I've done it the hard way I guess. I'd stake the board I wanted ripped to some saw horses and lay another one next to it then stake a guide board on top for the skillsaw. Thanks, I bookmarked Kreg.

I've noticed that some kids gravitate more to what they can relate to. At 12, he might not be able to picture himself driving around in a full size truck, but that little car might look like fun to a 12 year old. I used to take my Trans Am to shows and I would wonder why the younger kids would come along the side and look in the back window. I finally figured out that they were seeing if there was room for them in there, i.e. a back seat - "Dad, we could get one of these!" |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Neither . The Jeep was sold before I called . The burban is still for sale but I’m not upping my offer . It’s a nice truck I would pay the price he wants if it was a 4x4

Most kids (not all) have a different view on cars and trucks than way back when I was their age. Much different time today.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Started the oil pan replacement on my Tacoma . We will see how the might as well while it’s apart goes . A nice lift kit would be nice I am definitely replacing the front axles and hubs since I need to remove the axles anyway to drop the front differential. It just about ready to come out but it got too hot to keep working . Guess I should replace the serpentine belt

Washed the Chevelle since I couldn’t work on the Tacoma . Paint still looks good after 30 years
