Larry, so sorry about your lousy weather.  I wish I could pump some of this hot and dry weather to you.  

 

Ron, congratulations!  You are one lucky man.

 

Gunny, fabulous job on the doors and siding around the doors.  Yes, I, too, like the hose rack.  Going to steal the idea and implement it.  

 

Well, last Friday, after the blade broke in the band saw, I sat here and ordered a 1/8" and 3/16" from Shopsmith online.  They shipped on Wednesday.  It was exciting that I would get to work this coming Sunday.  FedEx delivered today and they were Olsen blades vice Shopsmith blades.  Not the sizes I ordered and paid $30 per blade.  Both blades received are 1/4" vice what was ordered.  So, a phone call this Monday to return them for the correct size.  Meanwhile, the box is in delay until this issue is resolved.  I was excited to get blades so fast, but they need to be what I requested.  This is like shopping for food on Walmart.com.  Substitutes that are not suitable to me.  So, we wait.  

 

Everyone have a great weekend.  Working on pens this weekend.  Got the front yard mowed and edged today.  Wife is happy.

Thanks guys. 

 

That hose rack is 3 inch PVC with a couple of elbows and a cap, then painted to protect from UV.  Filled it with concrete so it is heavy.  I used 1/2 CCPVC to make channels for the lag bolts to go into wall to hold it tight.  Been in use since 2011.  Old metal one fell off and this was my solution.

Now that's what I am talking about Gunny!  You did a great job on that and I am most impressed by the additional vinyl you put on there.  Did you have a few old pieces, or were you just lucky enough to find some that matched up?  It truly looks like it was made that way originally.  When I get done with a job, stand back, and feel that's how it should have looked all along I'm real satisfied.  And I like the blue doors, a big improvement!

I had my wife take a photo so's you all can see what I look like.

 

Notice a resemblance?

When I was young and had long hair and combed it down over my you couldn't see my eyes.  I have long hair now but when I comb it down over my eyes you can't see the hair.

What's a comb?

That's what I want to know, think I used one last when I was 14 maybe??  When my wife came here from Ukraine she inquired where the hair dryer was.  Yeah, sorry babe no hair dryer.

Road trip to help out a friend.   She needed her Jet Bandsaw set up on it's stand.
