Good news is that your can is now worth 200 bucks according to the guy selling or sitting on this one. I have no problem paying a little too much for something I really want. But when the price just becomes excessive I walk. I may be an idiot but I'm not a sucker.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sold the wheels I was going to put on a 1981 Malibu wagon I have. Getting ready to sell it, and I don't like having ugly wheels on any car.
I hate black on black wheels, and this was going on a Blue wagon............... |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Those 33s go for the big money. A 55 is a less desirable size. I can never find a 33 I am willing to pay the cost for. I'd pay $200 for a more obscure more vintage can but not such a common and recent one as that Pennzoil.
Our leaves held on longer this year. This is the weekend I put up Christmas lights but it doesn't seem right when I still have leaves to deal with. So I divided the day between some leave removal and starting the lights. Same thing today, but mainly hope to get some work done on the barn move project. This getting dark early thing is putting a hurtin' on getting anything done after work during the week. Outside work all my life means when the sun goes down the tools get put away and I shut down

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I tried to get my hardwood (laminate) floors to shine. I tried 2 different products that were supposed to bring out the shine. They did...For about 5 minutes. Then it was just like before.
Does anyone know of something to get these floors to shine. Otherwise I'm just ripping them out and replacing them. I was thinking Polyurethane but they aren't real wood so I don't know how that would work.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
hi Special K,The big wide slabs were from some big old 150 year old trees from downtown Halifax that were damaged in a storm.i wasn't there when they came down,a buddy who does that work dropped them off in my driveway when i told him i needed a couple stumps for some anvils?way too big for what i wanted so i made them into slabs.i thought they were elm and the guy who sawed them up thought so as well,but i don't know.no idea on what the darker narrower,longer boards are??they make a bench,that's all i know?take care.Greg

I don't want it slippery either. Years ago I had a cleaning lady and I don't know what she used to clean the shower but it was like ice when she was done. I slipped and cracked a rib once trying to get out.

My friends wife thought it would be a good idea using pledge spray wax on the stairs and floors . Her husband went down three steps and slid the rest of the way breaking his wrist and dislocating his shoulder . Sox and wax should never mix .

It sounds like your buddy went down hard. That smarts. When I went down I tried to grab the towel rack which immediately ripped out of the wall and down I went on the side of the tub. I was just lucky that the entire time my ribs were cracked that I didn't have to sneeze. That would have been worse than the fall. I put some polyurethane on some test spots today and it seems to be working.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My wife and I watched our Granddaughters Today while our Son in law and Daughter went to the Broncos - Chargers Game. I winterized the patio door and made a trip to town for bird seed and dog treats. Picked up some photo cards at Walgreens and parked next to someones '72 K5 . We bought lunch at Mickey D's and got home in time to see kick off .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Installed a dash camera in my Denali. It was in my 2018 Sierra. Only took me 14 months to get around to hard wiring it in this truck.

What I did yesterday, other than leaves and Christmas lights, was finish bolting bottom plates on the one barn wall (barn move project) and lay the block that the building will move across. Still on temporary supports. Let that set a while then set the building down and do the other side The other side

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'd like to see this whole building move in time lapse. I suppose you will use a come along to slide that wall over when the time comes?

I have considered maybe come-alongs might do it with the pipe rollers helping. The question has been how to anchor the end I'll be pulling to. I was looking at the side I haven't touched the posts on yet and am thinking I can use those to anchor to. I could just cut them out up high making room to bolt the plates under the posts and leave the lower part to anchor to.

Your building on truck picture reminds me of just a roof we set on a '40 Chevy flatbed and moved to my friend's place. I'm sure he has pictures. It was a sight going down the road. I believe it was at least 12' wide.

Post that picture again of the house you jacked up and put a basement under. I'm still in awe of that one.
