Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I thought about you when our wind was at gale force again hoping your barn didn't finish letting it's self down. We were in New Sharon on Easter and I almost swung by on the way home but figured you had family over already. There will be a next time.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Leon I take it you are salvaging the wood. I've heard barn wood fetches a pretty good price these days or are you saving it to rebuild a barn?

Yes, saving as much as I can. I sold $381 worth on Saturday and I have a space at a good size flea market the end of next month, so I will take some there with me. I am thinking about building a small storage shed for the riding mowers but I will use the ship lap boards from the haymow floor for that. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I put in recessed lights in the the hallway. Whoa! Those suckers are bright. I have no idea why my walls look shiny. They aren't.
Ignore the big dumb dog bed. I can't stand it there. I've tripped over that thing and about broke my neck. But when Duke was a pup. my Corgi, Nacho wouldn't allow him in the bedroom. Even now after Nacho has passed, Duke sleeps in the hall. He still won't go in the room. So I've got a dog bed in my hallway. It's funny because Nacho wasn't a mean dog. But he was the Alpha and could open a can of whoop azz if he had to. He kept order. He kept the others in line. All he had to do was stare them down and they would stop acting up. He never even growled. He was plenty tough and they knew it. I sure miss that little guy. ![]()

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...
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...
Corgi's are great dogs and they definitely have an attitude. And no, this dog was NOT cheap by a longshot.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's a shame. Hope you got one of them "Barnwood Builder" cats to give you some dough for it! There's a Deal called the "c10 Shindig" in July, too. It's on FB. Looks like it's gonna be pretty good for a first time deal. Gonna be hot as the dickens, though.

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 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)

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...
I went on the DMV website. Fun. Fun. Fun.
![]() 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. ![]() ![]()
