8ntruck 7,014 #4632 Posted September 11, 2022 Raining today, so I am catching up on small odd jobs. One of them is posting a picture of the picnic table for the lake house that I've refinished this summer: It came with the house and had never had a finish applied to it. The boards had weathered to a silver/grey color. I ran the belt sander with 120 grit over them to take the fuzz off, and a nice grain pattern popped out. 4 coats of polyurethane spar varnish and Rustoleum semi gloss black spray bomb on the legs perked it up nicely. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,314 #4642 Posted September 13, 2022 After selling my El Camino I decided I need a present just because . I purchased a 16 speed bench top drill press yesterday from HF . I unloaded it from the Volvo using a wheel barrow to haul separate pieces to the shed. Sucker weights close to a 100 lbs. Read the manual for installing yesterday and went what the what? Did not take long to put together , Sitting a little high for my liking but work with what you got. It is not a production unit but I think it will work great for me. Now I can start building a hub puller and just drill holes for the heck of it. LOL 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #4643 Posted September 13, 2022 Well it’s not two slabs of ribs but it’ll work. Got my two slabs done for the he shed/she shed buildings. At least till they are done I have concrete to work on. Tired of wet grass. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,014 #4644 Posted September 15, 2022 More fun with pipes today. Was flushing the plumbing system in our travel trailer. The flushing part went fine. The water heater even fired up without a hitch. However, a leak has developed between the grey water holding tank and the drain valve has developed a leak. Have to chase that down tomorrow. The neighbor across the street has been working on a 150 horse 2 stroke Mercury outboard that needed a piston replaced. He fired it up on his test stand today. I've never heard one unmuffled before. Turns out that a 2 cycle V6 has a really unique sound. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I set a toilet yesterday for a friend. I can say the word poop on the phone and he’s dry heaving. I don’t understand... after it’s gotten onto that side of the drain, it all smells the same @Mickwhitt A friend recommended that I take the Sewer Tour on a visit to Paris some years back. I found it fascinating and not as smelly as I'd expected. In fact, after a few minutes you become unaware of the smell. However, others near you later that day may notice that you have a distinct and unusual "air" about you! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #4646 Posted September 15, 2022 Been over at my mate Dunc's in Scotland today. First job was to load the old solar panels off the house roof onto his trailer. The company that supplied the new more up to date ones, wanted £500 to take them away. He's taking them to a friend he used to work with, who sells and installs, wind turbines and water turbines. He sometimes gets asked for second hand ones. Next we started to assemble the green house we took down at his previous place, about 5yrs ago. It's like a big Meccano set and fun trying to remember how it goes together. We got the sides and ends assembled eventually. Not all joined together yet. That may be next week on my next visit. Depends if he gets the base done. A good day and I returned home with three sacks of logs in the back of the Santa Fe. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my area of NE USA, rules on transporting firewood across state (and even county) lines are increasingly strict to prevent the spread of harmful insects and other plant-born infestations. Enforcement and fines have increased to where people are paying attention, too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
