Popular Post Gene Howe Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Today, help my son build a gate and help him wire and plumb a fountain for Phyl. Trenching is done.Tomorrow, begin the lumber rack build. Sunday, complete that build and start building the rest of the walls. At my pace, plywood will be cheaper by the time I'm ready...RIGHT! With my luck, I'll finish up and plywood will drop by 20-30%. Hope every one has a very enjoyable holiday and, as Ron said, remember and revere the fallen. Stay safe, too!.

Popular Post forty_caliber Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Here is a big "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE" going out to all our veterans on this Memorial Day weekend. I've got some honey do's on the list this weekend for sure. Last Tuesday one of the heavy12" round AC registers mounted on the ceiling fell to the floor with a loud crash. I was home alone working in my office when it happened...dang near fell out of my chair. Got to get that fixed. Mrs. Boss also hinted that we should go into the city and do some shopping. @#$*&^$ I'm going to add another 4' Dewalt rack for storage in the shop. That should be available at Home Despot later today. Perhaps there will be time for me to layout bench dog holes and get them bored out now that the vise is installed. I should be able to just roll the Shopsmith into position over the bench...<grins> .40 steven newman, Larry Buskirk, Fred W.

They have wide head and sharp points. Only need like 1 inch max length. Used them for years on all the vinyl siding work I have done. Including carport few years back.
