I'm not very well-versed in bow hunting, but I think I figured out your picture. There is a plastic guard that the stored arrow tips go into, correct? When I first looked at the picture, I thought you were going to shoot him with a small snow shovel.

[72c20customcamper]

Cross bow . The handle on top is where you use your foot to hold it down while drawing the string back to cock it

Yes the arrow horizontally positioned is in the storage box. Basically a box with foam in it to hold the tips


I have to use the bow . Where this house is no shooting firearms . I wouldn’t anyway homes are too close

Son and I went to the range to try out some new hardware. He shot his new Sig P365 and here he is shooting my new CZ 457 in .22 WMR. Had friends over for dinner Saturday night. Good stuff all the way around.

Thanks for the explanation, I get it now, took me a second when I first looked at it. Serious hardware.

Didnt get a shot off as the neighbor came over and said he caught it in a hav-a-hart trap . Told him he would have to go at least 10 miles from the house to release it

So close to finishing up the front siding on the shop (missing the top row below the accent roof).

There's a lot of time into making the door jams look pretty. They're wrapped in brick molding and a 1/4" simulated wood pvc trim. I also ordered a custom white tin cap that runs over the top of the doors and a couple inches down to keep water out. The backsides (inside) have the treated 2x6 up to mount the door frames to.

Looking really good and so close to done. I'm curious how you are fastening that last rip of siding under the soffit. I know you already did the sides. I picked up some old Indian tricks over the years (now that you're done)

[72c20customcamper]

Got the bath together . What a pain nothing is square level or plumb . But lots of furring ,shims , self leveler and planing it’s a working bathroom . I’ve have since put up the blue board and taped it. Just needs to be primed and painted

I'm in the commercial drywall business. I'd rather hang 100 sheets then do one bathroom in an old house.
When it's done it all looks so easy. Nothing to it.

I'm doing the same as I did on the house, I run J channel at the top, then the top piece of siding that gets cut, I cut off the clipping strip at the top, run it upside down and nail that into the J-channel. That fills most of the gap. On all of the pieces up high (2nd story), I put 1 - 2 trim nails to hold it and still let the pieces expand after I center them up. On the lower stuff that I can reach from the ground... it's just snapped into place. The house has experienced some wicked storms and really high winds in the last 3 years and I haven't lost any siding yet. The siding I'm using clips together really well.

It seems that's always the process in a wood framed house that's been standing a decade or more. Do you follow the lines as they have moved over time and try to trick the eye? Or do you actually get it plumb and level - seems like always a struggle. With something that goes together like that shower kit though, I can see why you needed to shim everything out to get it squared away. Going to be nice when you get it all done, and super handy to have those ladders on the back wall ; )

With the panels I had to have it right if there is tension on it it will crack over time . I dont want to do it ever again I let my kids worry about it.

Wife and I drove the '34 Coupe to the local Cruise Night last night. The turnout hasn't been as good as it used to be before the Covid shutdown. It was a really nice evening though.

I imagine most any evening out in a 34 coupe is cool but to share the evening with like minded folks, well, that's about as good as it gets I'd say.

Looks like a great time Leon!

I wasn’t as fortunate, I got stuck swapping a refurb PCM into my wife’s old Grand Cherokee so I can get ready to sell it. At least that went smooth and the jeep is running great again after sitting for 2 months while I was waiting for time to get a look at it.

[Low Elco]

Awww.... coolest kids in town! Miss you guys!

[special-K]

The three cars I see make a good enough turn out for me! Glad you and Pat got to shake the '34 down to the cruise-in

[72c20customcamper]

Worked on the Tacoma rear diff. It’s very similar to the Ford 9 inch with a welded cover and removable third member . But a common problem is the cover rots I patched it with JB WELD last fall . Used to have to replace the whole rear but now companies are making the covers . Problem is it needs to be completely dissasembled

Well that looks like one hell of a great time…

Thanks guys. There were about 15 cars & trucks there so it made it interesting. A friend of mine was there that will turn 90 next week. He was instrumental in my lifetime interest in hotrods and vintage vehicles. He still has the '40 Ford Coupe that he built when he was in high school. I am going to be posting about another amazing friend of mine in another thread in a day or so, so watch for that.
