Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
LockDoc,
Good on you for salvaging the wood. When I was in college I worked for a retired Air Force colonel and he had a bunch of us engineering guys hired to go all over northwest Arkansas to tear down old barns and houses to recover the wood. Often it was that or the owners were going to demolish/burn the structures.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
A while back there was an outfit advertising on the radio in Montana that they would rebuild your wooden corral or re-side your barn with new lumber just to get your old weathered wood!

But what I did yesterday and today . Renters broke a couple of tile over the years no love lost never liked it but at the time it was cheap and there was no waterproof laminate flooring . Tiles were stuck well and lots of mortar stayed on the plywood . So today rented a small demo hammer with a scraper blade . But it’s just about done . I choose to have the some of the butts lined up . If I staggered them in this small area 44 sq foot I would have had too small of pieces on the ends and a lot more waste. Rest of the kitchen eating area is hardwood . It’s a rental so I’m sure I’ll be doing it again in a few years . Guys are coming to sand the rest of the hardwood floors on the first floor next week

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sound deadening and kills the tap noise you get with laminate when you walk on it with shoes . Also this is a waterproofing membrain the flooring is waterproof but the plywood isnt . This padding comes with silver tape installed already to seal the seams . Peel and stick .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Running the wiring for sprinkler power in the back yard. The wiring work is in the attic, and walking on the rafters is killing my feet. All I have left is the J-box and connections.

I don’t see laminated flooring around my area anymore. Luxury vinyl plank/tile is all the rage. Pictures make it look easy. I ran 4 miles yesterday, I’m planning on 8 today. It’s as easy as putting one foot in front of the other.

This old cheap stuff really doesn't like moisture and considering the work I wish we would have just put in new vinyl plank on the whole thing. But we didn't have the money at that time and it's still way better than the old dirty carpet. I'm not sure I'm up to ever doing another floor myself

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That broken tile reminds me of my buddy Hank. He tiled his entire kitchen with broken tile.
It sounds weird. But that floor was a piece of art. He was a very talented guy. I wanted him to do my kitchen the same. But unfortunately the cancer got him before that happened. He was a nice guy. But he would kick your butt at golf. (Ask me how I know)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I bought my wife another Corgi. Our little guy passed away this year and she's been heartbroken.
So this is Coco. She's on her way from Oklahoma. My wife is already buying stuff for her.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My wife lost her Corgi 2 years ago. Last year I bought her another and in a month or so we're getting one for the kids. These little dudes sure aren't cheap.

I had a baby blue one. My favorite Corgi Toy. Years later, in the early-'80s I bought a real baby blue '63 Riviera. I had it for a while before one day I was up in the attic and came across the box I have what's left of the cars I had as a kid and there was the Riviera. It was then I began to wonder if my attraction to my real Riviera wasn't all about that favorite toy I had. Kind of a reverse realization (I didn't take that. Sorry Eric)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Corgi's are great dogs and they definitely have an attitude. And no, this dog was NOT cheap by a longshot. But my wife is happy.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I did a steering column clockspring on a 2007 JK today... I didn’t even deploy the airbag when I started it back up good to have all the random srs and stability/traction control codes gone.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went on the DMV website. Fun. Fun. Fun. What a nightmare.
The license plates on my Packard do not match the plate numbers on my registration. It seems that the P.O. got historical plates for the car. Never put them on. And now he can't find them. So now I have to wait on the DMV for replacements. Considering it's the DMV I figure that it should only take a year or two for them to do it. In the meantime I'll just run these plates.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Jerked out a gnarly juniper on our land next door with my old 89 K1500. I wasn't sure it was going to come out but after about a dozen jerks it finally did. I'm almost surprised the bumper didn't come off instead
It was right on a sharp corner of the two-track up there and I want to widen it out so I could get a camper or trailer up on the upper bench of land. The rest I will just cut but I didn't want the stump sticking out and re-growing. Next week I need to get to work with the chainsaw.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Gnarly junipers can be tough customers. I pulled one out many years ago with my K20. Hubs locked, low range of course, on dry level pavement. First it straightened my truck out, then the tires spun. Pretty sure I had to do a bit more digging & carving on roots before it broke free. The juniper, not the truck.....

That entire 10 acres above the road is full of multi-stem junipers growing up under the pines.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My son and I built an exhaust for his generator on his fifth wheel. Installed a little Honda muffler, very quiet now. For over $100,000.00 fifth wheel, they sure put a cheesy exhaust on it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yes, a small garage for golf cart, motorcycle etc. He had his dual sport motorcycle and a couple of mountain bikes. We did the exhaust Saturday and he sold it Sunday. Put it up for sale a few weeks ago and someone came with cash Sunday.
