What did you do today?

[Mickwhitt 4,641]

The management have shared plans for the concrete balcony floor to be tiled this spring to make it more usable in the summer. 

Bought the tiles and materials and as soon as I take delivery I will be laying 600mm square tiles onto the level pad. 

When will I ever learn about that woman and her scheming?

The BBT bought a bathroom vent fan a few weeks ago. Her electrician friend wired it in and installed the carrier box. 

Today we finished up the installation. 

She went up in the attic, ran the vent hose and clamped it on. 

I used a couple different tools to install the soffit vent. Now we have a fully vented non moldified and destinkified restroom.

Got the new HF used to be roller cab. installed. Completely ripped out the old bench and rebuilt. Lost some shelf space but all it did was accumulate crap I'll never use. You guys know how that goes! No more jammed up drawers in the other tool chest. You guys know how that goes too! Added a couple of plow day crock pot plug ins! A bit higher than the old bench but actually better to work at.

Shouldn't be a problem as most mechanics work on the floor.     Work benches are best used for storing old unfinished projects.

[WHX?? 48,828]

Agreed Ed. What the standard is counter top height is a 36" so work benches too? This one is more to the tall side of 38. Rebuilt a carb on it and much more shop stool friendly and brings you closer to the work whether sitting or standing.

That @ebinmaine or @19richie66 will never finish?!?!?  OK myself too!

I found stuff under there for tractors I don't even own anymore!

I resemble that remark.  Box of parts to become a chainsaw on the bench, box of parts in a box on the floor to make another chainsaw, and a box of parts under the bench to make a Maytag engine.  I dance over a pair of new tires in front of the bench that needed mounted for over a year.

Just picked up half my pole barn and get the metal roofing and concrete friday. Now to unload the trailer.

Whatever happened to building a roof over two shipping containers Richie? I always thought that was a good idea. if one has the room.

H.S. Physics taught us that "Nature abhors a vacuum".

 

In later years, I've expanded that axiom.

 

"Nature abhors a horizontal surface.  Matter expands to fill it."

 

It's a fundamental law of nature, there's no fighting it!

 

Every single time I clean a shelf or workbench, in three days it's full again.

Too hard for me to get everything lined up and leveled between the two containers. Then I’d have to get 32’ trusses made. This way I have one container for a shop and 20’x36’(for now) pole shed for cover/work under. I’ll add 12’ to the front later and then a 12’x48’ awning down the other side. All in due time.

Rent a machine, I'll come down.

He has the machine  Craig.   Just bring your level and a 2X4 block.

I appreciate the offer but the way I have this going, when completed, I’ll have more room than I would have had. If everything goes as planned, I’ll end up with a 20’x48’ pole barn, 12’x 48’ awning with a 12’x12’ section closed in for an office(man cave/hideout) and the 40’ container for a lockable shop. I’m feeling a meet-n-greet in the near future.

Today is our 35th wedding anniversary.  Spent it together having brunch and sorting out the tiling job. Good job I remembered the anniversary,  seconds after she mentioned it!
