Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Sqrl Klr]

The shop would of liked it that you pre loosened it  LOL Yup persistence pays.

Is what I was thinking too. Much better to keep the mower and save some money. Just so glad to have the tractor to lift the mower so I didn't have to crawl under the mower to fix it.

Those are the kinds of battles that make me slather anti seize compound on everything.

Amen brother preach it!

I want to get the pool up, but my Mom has a brand new, in the box, salt water filtration system she wants to give me.

I hope you have better luck with your salt water system than I did because I had to get the motherboard replaced pretty much annually which ran $1200! Screw that I went back to chlorine. I've had the pool ready since the first of this month but it's still too cold to swim in. A few more days and it will be refreshing.


The drywall crew had some fall down on them while repairing my mother's garage. Just glad it didn't fall on my mother. It's all fixed now and for a good price. The door sensor wire got broke so I had to splice the wires then attach and tape them then hammer the wiring in place with staples(PITA) to get the door working. A sensor broke too but I have it held in place with 2 zip ties.

I should have waited to take a shower... now I need another one....
I got the back of the Red Shed cleaned up to make room for the zturn to be moved and tarped. I moved and tarped it so the Husqvarna has more space in the mowerport. I ran a permanent air hose to the mowerport from the shop compressor. I cleaned up the remains from the Quonset. I dumped all the trash cans from around the place into the main can and took it to the road for pickup in the morning. Then Betty Lou and I picked up all the fallen limbs, branches and sticks from the storms and moved them to the fire pit.
I was soaked with sweat by noon.

Play day for me, I have some stones to cut and shape. It's an outside project that involves a lot of water. The tile cutter and wet band saw can be a little messy at times. I have a shady spot with a constant breeze blowing all the time to work on this stuff. You never know what you will find inside a plain looking stone until it is cut open.

A little messy??

A little messy you say. I am usually soaking wet and covered in slurry. The wet band saw is not so bad but the the flat top tile cutter is. If you get in front of it and even with the blade guard down you are guaranteed a mud bath. I have learned to stand behind it and pull the stone to me instead of pushing it into the blade.  Also I don't get hit in the face with stone chips or with the entire stone if I loose my grip on it.

Good day GTA! Happy Sunday! I woke up at 3:28 AM, even though I had my alarm set for 4:00 AM, I got up 3:58 and I did a preemptory stop on the alarm so it wouldn't disturb my wife, I had my coffee.
It's beautiful weather this morning here too, it's 74°F and clear skies.
 We had Sunday School and the morning Church service, we will have afternoon service at 5:00 PM.
 
 We went out to Blaze Pizza for lunch with a visiting granddaughter, grandson in-law and two great grandbabies from Idaho.

Good morning. Body aches woke me up. This past weekend, half day Saturday and all day yesterday I helped my son put skirting around his stepdaughter's single wide mobile home.

He was given some 20' metal roofing and we cut every piece to size. I trenched and measured, he cut each piece to size using a cordless side grinder with a cut off wheel.  It  took about 200 screws, I used my Bosch 12volt impact driver for those.

Pressure washing is needed but that's another day.

[avator]

Looks good Dan..  did ya put any vents in it?

Woke up at 4:30 and laid there until the call of Nature made me get up.
Waiting for the coffee to brew now.
No real plan for the day but I'm sure I'll find something to get into.

No vents yet, we are trying you figure that out. Any suggestions?

[avator]

Yeah.... soffet vent covers are cheap and easy to put it. I recommend the ones with screens. They can be put in vertically between the ribs on the skirting. Many shapes, sizes and styles but here is an example.

You might also consider an access panel if you haven't already. I would put that near the most plumbing.

[Lt. Dan]

Yeah, those soffet vents are what I suggested too. They are waiting to build a front porch/deck off the front door and he's going to put vents under it and some under back porch as well. We are still trying to figure an access panel. I suggested where the most plumbing is located but no decision yet.

Cool, sounds like y'all got it under control.

Blueberries picked, garden rounds done, start on cleaning up the brush piles that I made all over the yard in the last few days. Put the grass catcher back on the lawn mower and change the blades. It's never ending with this jungle around here.

You don't have to tell me about how messy they are. I've been using them on and off for the 30+ years I worked in aerospace cutting carbon fiber, fiberglass and ceramic. I'm really surprised I don't have that coal miners lung disease. I've never cut tile though.😂🤣😂🤣

Cutting tile is not that much different from what you were cutting. When I built my house the floor was completely done in ceramic tile. Bought the cutter from Sears and it's the flat top one, nothing fancy just something to make the few cuts that had to be done. It's only draw back is that it throws water everywhere. I noticed this morning that there was a 4'x8' white spot in the yard. It threw that much and that far while I was cutting. It does have a blade guard but you still get a bath if you stand there while cutting. I had no reason to buy a fancy, expensive rock saw when I have a tile cutter that will do the same. The blades fit it with no problem and work just fine. The wet band saw does all the detail work and not sling water all over the place. It's bench top and very light to move around. I use it to cut stone, glass, and shell.

Pain is just weakness leaving your body or some such nonsense I've been told.🤣😂🤣
