Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[BigDaddyR]

Found an estate sale online last night and took the wife today. She now has a new addiction:msp_biggrin: She had a blast. We spent about $56 and she found some furniture she wants to refinish with a theme and sell. We had such a good time she'll never give me a hard time about it. LOL, she wants me to find her one tomorrow.

Bought the above pictured saw for $20, they had a Stihl MS290 that went for $170 in average cond. Too much for me to try to resell not knowing the saw or condition. Log splitter went for $650 for a decent brand. Agri Fab lawn vacuum with the motor on it. I should have bought it but not that familiar and didn't know if my Craftsman would run/pull it. $1200 at TSC and sold for $180. :msp_w00t:

Boy......pretty darn quiet in here today........home for lunch.......cleaned out the jobsite this morning.....punch list has been completed.....job over.......gonna take a couple weeks off and finish my boat adventure, the Sweedish brick and the Kazawaki.....next paying project is a houseboat to finish out....the platform is 30' X 60' and the living structure is made of two 40' shipping containers with 16' between....will be all one structure when completed.......it will be pretty darn cool and well appointed...it is for a friends rather famous local boat yard that is opening another new yard in Belfast that can handle 125' and up vessels....not work boats.....this houseboat will be a floating "Hotel" for Clients/Owners/Captains to stay in while their boat is hauled out.....so needless to say it will be nice......a little off beat project wise but will be fun to do......and profitable too!!.....

Sounds real interesting !

My house is falling apart ! First the hot water tank , now its the fridge ! Knew I was gonna need one , been putting it off long as possible ! LOL Stihl keeps things cold but leaks water on the floor every time it defrost.Been doing it a few years now. LOL Had new defrost things put in twice,cleaned out the drain many times.Just freezes right back up. Now the door hinge is bad, Its TIME for a new one.
It has the water and ice in the door,but may just go with a ice maker in the new one. See what prices they are ?
Old one goes to the basement ! LOL

The oven will be next I think ? Already has one igniter out in it. They want a whole lot of money for that part ? Swapped them out a couple years ago. Broiler one went in the other hole. Never used it. LOL Then I guess it will be the dishwasher. LOL The old one goes to my shop ! LOL

Its all 17-18 yrs old. Not as long as I had hoped everything would last. LOL

Well , I had dug out muh bestus and cleanest plunger in the house and went clammin this afternoon , I waved at Jerry on the island but I don't think he seen me .
I got enough for a feed , while I was there I talked to another fellow that was digging , asked a couple of questions and all I got was "I don't know" , "Never seen them around here" , "You can eat them ?" , "Haven't dug in years" , the strange thing is that he had a well used hack of the local style , bucket , onion bag to rince , rubber boots and jeans in 90 degree full sun and left the undersized clams behind ...... I think he was tellin the truth

 

[dancan]

It's full sun , the humidex says 106 and we now have a severe thunder/lightning with heavy rain , wind and hail watch in effect , Jerry may have an eventfull evening LOL

[Jimmy in NC]

Busy morning. Found the leak in my camper roof. I'll have to post a picture in a minute when I go back out there but got it all straightened out and hauled some scrap metal. Then took the old stove and vent hood to the Habitat ReStore to donate them. Fixing to head out and mow some grass!

The OL said she was hitting the yard sales today if she don't get rained out. Hope she finds me some saws ! Haven't got a saw in a good while ! :msp_scared:

Ahh one of these days you'll have saws just showing up needing that "Slug Touch" :msp_sneaky:

Well you decide the nick name.. or maybe we'll have a vote.

Think I'm finally caught up after one hell of a week. Just got done mowing. Folks will be here around lunch. Gotta think of something they'll want to do.

How do they like cleaning saw parts or painting? How about stain the deck?

tiller cover is 22 1/2 in wide.

Sounds like a horse. Other thing to check is tire size.. 4.80-8's are normally just the horse models.

OL is trying to get me off my flippy cap to go look at a fridge. I know this is gonna cost me a grand or more ! :msp_scared:

Sky's darkin' up! Thunder off in the distance. Breeze is getting cooler. Storm is fast approaching! Better get off here and close the windows to the trucks!!

 

[tbone75]

Either the heater that warms up the defrost water so it evaporates is not working or the tray that holds the water is cracked and leaking ....
