They are just about 3/8 from the wall on all sides. Half inch quarter round will cover the gap. Carpet was just after we emptied the room and the pups were overjoyed.

I had my saw station in the small garage. Chop saw and jig saw. Not a lot of waste but I hear you on the up/down. This click lock stuff is not my favorite. Hard cutting and a lot of dust. I’d rather do tongue and groove and nail/staple it in. That being said, wood was almost 3x the cost and the...

Boss wanted new flooring in the MBR so on the nicest weekend of the year, here I am. Currently 2 rows to go and slowed way down to remove trim and quadruple measure. My Apple Watch wanted to call for EMS three times yesterday. Tell you what, I’m using muscles I have not used in years. Last...

My belly mower is nearing its end of life. I’m interested to hear who is pulling a 3pt finish mower with a B1700 sized machine and what brand/ width you using.

Time to get the Kubota airboat out and mow the swamp. Good timing as the sky’s just opened up again. Got my first mowing stick in too. Resident snapper out for a stroll

Growing up that was my snack more often than not. Sometimes it was graham crackers with butter. My goal was to press the crackers hard enough to make the butter squirt out of the holes and not crush the saltine

Wanted something more compact for my fuel transfer tank so I came up with this. I still have to install some cleats and eye bolts to trap the tank and keep it from sliding. Need to use up a good portion of the 50 gal in there before I can drag it over. Buying culled pressure treated means the...

Local franchise. They really push to get you on a service contract. I tried calling corporate a couple years back and they would not help. Pushed me to their dealer network. I’m still have their water softener so if it ever needs parts, I may have to see if they are priced differently by the...

You boys have been busy cooking. I marinated up some spicy garlic wings and threw them on the smoker this evening. Will take them in to work and make new friends

I either leave it where it dropped, pull it back in to the tree line or add to the burn pile. No permits needed where I live but you need to know what times of the year there is a burn ban in place. They usually lead to an obscenely large burn pile that takes 2 cigars and a few glasses of brown...

I took the time to disassemble the button and clean it with contact cleaner and got rid of any moisture and hiding fuzz. Circuit board was clean. Little bit of rust/corrosion on battery terminals. Used a brass brush to get them clean and sprayed the battery terminals down with a bit of WD, dried...

The little blue tooth button that controls our Culligan RO Water system is on its way out. The rest of the system works great. Installed it in 2017 and at the most have just had to install batteries. The button display freezes, does not trigger the unit to send RO water to the tap or won’t...

Everything on the South rim was open. North Rim is closed from the fires last year

We got there Friday around lunch. Nice drive from Vegas. Took Rt66 across for some

Took the wife to the Grand Cqnyon for her Birthday. Thought it was supposed to be warm in the desert. Woke up to 28 with a windchill that felt like 14. Took the train in. Great trip!
