Well, I did it. I cleaned up my saw in the family room, over the hardwood floor. I sharpened my chain, cleaned the bar and installed some new chain. At least I didn't soak the newly sharpend chain in the house. You know, my wife didn't say a thing. Hmmmm

I cleaned it up and used some 409 on the floor to get up the oil spots.

Oh, by the way, I'm a hardwood floor guy, so, don't try this at home.:hmm3grin2orange:
 
Funny

I have a heated garage and I still bring my stuff in the house to clean it up, but my wife says way more than a "word".

Hmmm...Camano Island, huh? Hmmmm...hardwood floor installer huh??

NEED AN ELECTRICIAN????
 
Breaking in the Mrs

Shortly before we married, I got 'caught' wet-sanding Harley tanks & fenders in the tub and the kitchen sink. It caused a little friction, but nothing a little :heart: didn't fix.

Same goes for gun/jeep/bike/saw junk... & loud music. :rockn: She's learned to accept it as part of the deal of having me around. We accept each others fetishes & phobias just the same. We kinda groove together on OPE though so that's a plus.
 
Women tend to file these things away in long-term memory, and then bring it out later just when you think they've forgotten all about it! :heart:

"Women: can't live with 'em, can't have heterosexual intercourse with out 'em!"

Aw, I just need to make a special table that I can do my sharpening on. Some type of table that is 3x3ft, with a 2in ridge all around to hold the shavings and sturdy enough to bolt down a sharpening jig to and maybe even an attachment at the bottom for a vaccuum hose.

It gets kinda lonely outside in the garage. With this thing I can do it anywhere...like crosstitch or croche or even jigsaw puzzles.
 
Now what kind of example are you presenting to your kids?

He is cleaning up his mess. Every now and then I neglect to do that and woooeeee, I sure get in a heap of trouble.:( Granted it's not filings and definitely not in the family room. But it might be fish guts/deer processing stuff in the kitchen sink.
 
I agree with Lake. It will come up again and probably when you would prefer it didn't. You are not home free on this one.....



Yep.. like on February 21st, 2008, 11.34pm... She's restless, and you from the bottom of your heart say "are you feeling o.k.", or something quite dumb like, "is something wrong" (bad move..)... Then it starts... the flood gate opens and you lie there, stunned, and in amazement at the totality of the recall. First, you have no recollection of most of the events (some stretching back years), and second, you really don't give a damn, and... it does down hill from there... So get in with your boots on.. all you can do is make it so traumatic that the make-up is worth the battering you both take. :hmm3grin2orange: And yes, I'm an expert :help: :help:

Frighteningly insightful. Limited experience you say in your first post? Sounds like you ARE an expert.

They always file these things away for later use, you'll see !

Yepp, they saw me cleaning up the mess. They even saw me wipe up the oil film off the hardwood floor. But I didn't bring the gasoline into the house. That stuff is dangerous. And besides, the floor need vaccuumed anyway. I was just making sure pulling the vacccuum out of the closet was going to be well worth the effort. :biggrinbounce2:
