I need to make a correction. Those sheets have a sandwich of insulation between them.

Any rigid decking in the sandwich?

Kingspan.

So basically a metal SIP panel without any additional support, NICE! Again very efficient. Here id probably not worry with the insulation for a large opensided cover, but everything else would work perfect for my application.

I am ashamed to admit, first oil change for the genny.  I figure if I log the record on the face of the thing, it’ll be a better reminder.

Finished the rear door project today. Just a few little finishing touches to attend to but its done.

 

I'm really pleased with it, mainly because its made the kitchen a lot more functional but also because its a job I thought was beyond me and i managed it ok.

 

[Stormin 9,981]

I like the step. Waste not want not.

[Ed Kennell 38,224]

Finished the wood/tractor shed project.    I had enough scrap metal to cover the 31 yo rotted T111 siding.

Now for the paint.  Any tips on painting over painted siding?   There is one piece of unpainted galvanized.

Ain't anything beyond most folks provided we're willing to learn and make mistakes.

Decided today with Kati to go to a Gravel plant.

The actual incidences allows it in our Area, there we get mixed gravel from 5 cm up to 20cm.

payed few bucks for the complete Trailerload. 😎

 

firstly i prepared the Trailer by Airpressure it set to about 43 PSI.

 

 

Dunno why the Loaderdriver greened when i told him „Stop“

The tyres looked little squeezed and there is nearly no gap between Tyres and Fenders...😎

Are you shure you wanna drive that Weight, my Scale told me it was 1,8To.

 

- Yap, we must not ride that far away.. just 4 Miles..

The Trailer is well Serviced, the Tyres are good in shape, i trust him...

 

The Trailer after 3 Buckets are out...

To bring it into the Backyard i must use the Beast or carry all that 1,8 To by Hands...

To save my Back and have Fun i decided to use the Beast for that Task,

so i quick fixing the Backhoe with 2 Ratchet straps while not finally Build

and i can see, how the added weight will affect on the whole Machine.

 

 

It is a nearly perfect counterweight and have a good overall balance.

Tilt point is dropped down and the handling appears more stable than before.

But it also increased massive the overall Weight, so it makes now massive deep impacts to the Lawn

and ruined it finally completely.  But the traction is a++++ or better excellent 😎 love it 😁

 

The Full bucket will be load about 200-300Kilos to the Frontaxle - minus the Kilos on the Back ...

yap, lot’s of weight added but however, hard work shows impacts.

 

 

I make the Border arround to save the mowerblades from rolling Gravel with bigger pieces while Kati does the optics

and the internals, than we filled Together the 1,8 To. gravel arround the last year reworked Area.😎

 

 

 

Bucket by Bucket we filled together the Areal.

At least we forgot to count how many Buckets that was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Task is finally done..

 

now seeding grass on the brown spots and let it grow.

Spray with water and vinegar to etch a little into the metal and let it sit and dry. Rinse. Paint. My FIL worked for Mobile Exxon paint division for years and insists this is the way to paint metal siding, roofing etc.

You stole my thunder.  Years ago, rain gutters were made of galvanized steel and it was common knowledge that they needed to be washed with vinegar.  Guess I am showing my age.

I would say OVER 1/4. I dont think youll get enough vinegar on there to hurt nothin even al 100%...maybe @lynnmor has an idea of a typical proportion

We always wiped it down with 100%, left it sit for awhile and then rinsed.  I don’t know if there is a better method, now we can buy cheap vinegar sold for cleaning purposes so money is not a big problem if one wants to apply it with a garden sprayer. 

[Ed Kennell 38,224]

OK,  vinegar etch on the unpainted galvanized panel.  Then what, prime with an oil base or go with latex satin house paint?

 

What about the panels that are all ready factory painted.

prime

 

Take a look at Bullseye 1 2 3 application and see what you think.  I've had very good luck with it on everything thing I've used it on, including vinyl siding.

I found a half gallon of this in my paint dept.    Looks like it would work to prime the calv. metal.   I sprayed it with a vinegar solution this AM.

I've used that oil base as well, good stuff too.  I am surprised though at how well the 123 performs.  I primed a new wooden handrail with it about 5 years ago and never got around to top coating it.  It gets lots of use and that primer is still holding up just fine!

 

To coin a phrase, "I put that ©h|t on everything!"
