Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

I'm considering doing some hardwood flooring. Would like to see pics of the install. Will they transition at doorways, or keep running into other rooms?

Here is a pic of wood to wood, wood to tile, and wood to carpet.

Thomas, Boo deserves some special treats after splitting all that firewood for you. In Virginia, it is illegal to feed bears, and don't think I'd want to do it, but they are fun to see, from a distance. It is also illegal to feed deer during the period from September 1 to the first Saturday in January, which I quit doing altogether last year since it was attracting bears . Just feeding the birds and chipmunks now.
-----------------------------
Yep good help hard to get now a days.
I am not to keen on the idea Mrs. put sign table also light.


"Just feeding the birds and chipmunks now."
So what do you do or say keep the bear away from bird chipmunk food.?

Good morning 73 going up to 93-ouch and sunny
Keep calling for sudden storms-but nothing so far-looks like Friday night will get some weather action here.

Got another 2 feet of pipe under shed dug out, no break found so far.

Drew great to here your checkup went so well

A co worker of mine went away last weekend-someone I dealt with a lot and got along with quite well-found out yesterday he died over the weekend.
He was only a year or so older than me and was in good health-don't know what happened yet-quite a shock-

Stay safe and be well and our thoughts for those in the path of the hurricane

Good morning to all! Yep, same story, no changes to weather ... yet. Supposed to cool of down into the upper 80s this weekend, with a good chance of showers... we'll see....

Drew, I hope you are able to get all those bills straightened out. They can take it fast, but always a pain to get it back!

Ken, sorry to hear about your coworker. Sad , but makes us think.....

Thomas, great pics! You should start advertising as a wildlife preserve and charge "donations" for critter food.

Hope all bearing the brunt of Laura are able to stay safe!

Today continues with some shop time. Pics of the project to follow ..... I decided to run a new 220v circuit, so project work is intermittent. My metal chop saw gave up the gearbox yesterday, so cutting is now by hand with a grinder....

Everyone have a great day!

:thumbsup:
that looks really nice Don

it is illegal to feed
when we lived aboard our boat in Aventura (North of Miami) my wife was a major
rule breaker. Every day for over a year a mother manatee and sometimes her baby too would make their way to the swim platform of our
boat, and my wife would spend hours slowly feeding them romaine lettuce leaves and thinly sliced apples. They had no teeth so they basically gummed
the food to mush. They would not eat cheaper iceberg lettuce, discerning manatees.. They would also drink from a water hose we would dangle into the brackish water, they just loved fresh water.
Since they were coming into our marina anyway I didn't feel too badly about it, whole area was littered with Slow Manatee Zones. My wife's favorite buddy had
prop marks on her back too, hard to see, hard to avoid. While the manatee would slowly rotate, my wife would take a boat brush and give the critter a nice rub down while
humorously chiding the animal "now how did you get so dirty?" I think it was just a nice massage for the gentle creature.

Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 7:30AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 94F. Winds light and variable.

You can always supply a little load with a heavy extension cord, Drew, but not the other way around. You might be able to take some of the sting out of the purchase by finding a used one on Craig's List or the like. Glad the chemo is still treating you OK, and your future is becoming clearer.

The older I get, the more "there but for the grace of God" moments I seem to be having, Ken. Hope you find the leak soon!

Hope your coffers continue to hold, Eric.

Good point about flu shot timing, Ron. Nice little buck, too. Do you know the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts? Beer nuts are $5.00/pound, while deer nuts are under a buck.

That station in Little Cypress would also need a satellite internet connection, Don, as all the others go down with the grid. That's about the only good thing I have to say about satellite internet.

Glad for the good news, RS. The spaghetti here last night was delicious, too.:licking:

Vanagon parts should ship this week, seller has been dealing with 115F temps in Las Vegas and that's slowing him down.

Got the new Ethernet cable pulled out to the generator pad, but it took many trips up and down the hill to tame the tangles. The shielded connectors showed up later in the day, and I got those on, too. It's a lot easier if you strip a couple inches of the outer insulation off first, then sort the wires to the proper order, and THEN trim them to length. The instructions aren't always correct.:muttering: Then the network tester showed up, two days from Germany and two weeks from Las Vegas? Whatever, it says there is a short in the original Ethernet cable 16 meters from one end. So I'll go looking for that later, just for grins. Got another access point up and running at the generator pad, and WiFi is now nice and strong on the back patio. Enjoyed watching speeches from the RNC while sipping a cool spirit; the smoke let up enough to see more blue sky and not feel the burning eyes and throat.

Walmart trucker neighbor has been hauling loads in Washington state, and enjoying the clean air and cooler temps. Says it's real pretty up there, but neither of us would be happy with the winters.

Town run today; won't get much else done.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

from Barksdale AF:
Fortunately we are off work today! All B-52s were flown elsewhere and our simulator schedule was cleared.
The eye wall will go right over us as a cat-1...power is still on but has gone off several times. Our utilities are buried so we aren't in as much trouble as Shreveport.

Storm chaser witnesses Hurricane Laura blow RV over - CNN Video

those big boxy fifth wheelers and travel trailers are really at risk
if you aren't going to move them out of harm's way, sure better have some tie downs...

MFW if grading stone and asphalt not terrible if just asphalt only too high in my opinion

Buppies, I'm awaiting the revised quote, we marked stuff yesterday, but it is 3" stone, some clearing of weeds, some grading etc.

Do you work up in Stafford CO? I'm off exit 133. I would like to discuss with you on DM sometime a good cleanup and regravel of the back driveway, it is probably over 1/4 mile...

Be well sir!

Thanks, so they did run it continues thru the door to the next room without a transition.
Is this floating, pre finished or nailed down prefinished?
