Re: My Facetruck thread.
Well, it got crazy windy yesterday afternoon and was to be bad all day today. Talking 40-50 mph. So jacking the floor was my bad weather alternative. Got there today and the side we are working on wasn't so bad we couldn't keep on with buttoning up the outside. So tomorrow a will a be a the day a. This is that big Victorian chicken shack. I rebuilt 12-14' of wall from foundation to roof (24' balloon frame). It had 1" x 12" poplar plank sheathing and I went back with two layers of 1/2" plywood. We buttoned that up today. It was quite windy though. But we were on the leeward side.
Here's how the the first floor looked when I opened it up Turn your head. Stupid computer wants it that way. It's right in my folder

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Thanks Boog. Water had been running down that corner of the house for decades. It had band aid repairs done in the past. That sill plate 'was' solid 4" x 12"! Those studs were dwindled down to 2 x 2 pulp wood up higher in the wall. I could grab and yank a handful out (w/o yanking). I replaced the dimensional 2" x 6" x 24' studs, one by one and after jacking the roof back up 2", with triple pressure treated (because yellow pine is better than common lumber) nominal 2 x 6 stagger spliced 16'/8', 8'/16',14'/10'. The sheathing boards were dimensional 1" x 12" diagonal and I went back with two layers of 1/2" plywood run horizontal staggering the seams both horizontal and vertical. On the inside, because the plaster & lath strips come to 1 1/4"-1 1/2" I'm going to run a layer of 1/2" plywood on the studs, then strips to bring 1/2" drywall to flush, then skim coat. I want the wall to feel solid as with the plaster. I am sure the back wall around the corner has problems from same leak. But that's another chapter. Also there are other areas with water issues

Re: My Facetruck thread.
It's in San Diego now isn't it?
I toured the Alabama a few years ago, in July. We climbed all over that boat. Wore this old guy out for sure but I loved it.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Yep! He was wondering what the tires (bumpers) were there for. It was just us two down in the sub. I explained each thing and he listened intently. We went to the National Aquarium... where he explained everything to me! My daughter has a membership so they take people there often. Free with membership! Then we went to the Baltimore Museum of Industry across the harbor. Pretty neat stuff.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I truly did alright. Every minute with Gus is a special moment. It takes a lot to get me into a city environment any more. I'm a stranger in a strange land!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Monday I finished my radiation treatments. Now it's wait 5 weeks and see how the tests come out. I'm hoping it's gone but we'll see. They gave me my mask that held me to th table. I think I'll hang in my pool room/bar at my cabin.

![]() Great videos. Thanks for sharing some real stuff. I'll show him when I see him. When we were outside that museum around that junk sculpture and throwing stones in the water two Maryland DNR officers pulled up and were carrying their gear out to the dock to go out on evening patrol of the harbor area. I asked, "You guys going out?", to get their attention and all that turned to Gus. "Hey Buddy. We'll turn the lights on for you". They hit the lights and gave the siren a quick "BooWHIP!", brought the laundry in ![]()
