What did you accomplish today?

[Jeffislovinlife]

I don't know who's life is happy though. I'm pissed off and miserable the entire time I'm working on her "should be easy" projects and then cut up and sore the next few days... yeah happy life my ass.
Lol

Okay okay all good valid points

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

No kidding. Yesterday was mixing cement for pavers. I'm not sure if I'm happy with them or not.
My body hurts.

What weren't you happy with?

What weren't you happy with?

The pavers are fine came out ok. Mamashark bought one of those plastic molds and I didn't account for a 1/4" lip the mold has. So... not level. Once they cure I need to reset them. The mold would stick a little so some look warped.

Setting up for tonight's fireworks show. Me and a couple firefighters have been putting one on for the last couple years for the village.

Got both the garage and house roof done. Took the slate off and had to resheet the whole thing. Getting siding done in two weeks everybody in town isn’t happy about it but hey gotta do what you gotta do.

Speaking of need to tie plants up, I use that lightweight velcro plant tape to bring up branches. I love the shit.

I had bad luck with those, I like the twist ties

Here are some older pictures to show what it looked like before it was changed these are pre tornado pictures as there’s no major damage to the house and roof. We would’ve loved to have kept it slate but there was so much damage after the tornado last year we had to change it. We are doing the siding in a fire brick red with white trim and windows and going to rewrap the porch beams and lower the top boards and redo the porch ceiling in a tongue and grooved pine. Also you’ll notice those trees are gone another thing taken out by the last years tornado

That's cool... I've never seen a hydraulic dumpster before. Nice house, very idyllic.

 

[manfredo]

That lift box is about the slickest thing ever!! I have never ever seen anything like that around here. I know a few laborers who would LOVE that!!

 

[Hiphophippo]

Yeah the contractor said it’s like having ten guys on the ground I can only imagine how expensive it is. I drove my boy around in it and had him use the controls to dump it he loved it was sad to see it go

Does that old slate have value or no?

I’ve used a few different molds on concrete and found that pan cooking spray is a great release agent.
Also the crate myrtles here will put off suckers from the roots, so they are a real bitch to remove, once they are established.

Some does this did not it was just old green dog eared slate very common I guess. They only buy the rare stuff and rare colored kinds

 

[StonedGardener]

Been very busy with State Troopers today . Some party crasher who showed up at my place last night ( a real f'ing beauty ) is missing . He never got home. I told the authorities that I have no idea what happened to the misfit . Told them he was so
f'd-up he probably drowned in lake.

 

[raratt]

Got the dryer taken apart, the parts I ordered was not what was broken. I have never been good at rolling dice, I guess I ought to take my own advice and do a little troubleshooting before ordering stuff.

 

[420God]

Just got all the fireworks to where we'll be lighting them. 450 mortars and 60 something cakes.

 

[Aeroknow]

An Embarrassing round but thats ok. I’ll be back.

A nice display to be sure.

Is there any coordination or theme?

Or is just hold my beer style?

Sorry to hear about the damage to your house. It looks like a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting. Is it a pre or post WWll construction and is it a sears & roebuck mail order kit? I’ve worked on three of those mail order houses but not one similar to yours ( if in fact yours is ) , and I have a friend who has all the designs and patterns for the ornaments.
Anyway I’m you survived the tornado, I guess you folks don’t get as many up there as we do in the Deep South. I’ve seen far too many and hope I never see another.
