Rip, that looks really good. Did you make up the difference at the top or the bottom or both.... very hard to tell... good job!

 

[riptides]

Thanks LS. Yes. I made up the difference on that side. The door will act as the divider...so the other side I will also adjust as I go. Should go a little faster this weekend. LOL.

Difference was at the bottom. Adjusted the starter strip and make small adjustments all the way up. Got to the top and was good to go.

I saw 2 bucks yesterday. My wife called my attention to the first one who was eating her blueberry bushes. I rapped on the window. He looked up and thought about it for a minute and wandered back to the woods. He was clearly impressed with me.:laughing: The second was in the woods at the farm. I couldn't see him well enough to count points but he was a handsome animal. He had has harem with him. I counted 3 does. The buck wasn't very scared of me on the tractor either. There are 4 tree stands down in the bottom land so I'm not sure how good his chances are.

Nice buck, RS.

Got the siding primed. Almost 5 gal applied with my Graco XR7 airless. Windier than I would have preferred, likely more overspray than I would have liked. Need to get more finish coat as I’m sure it will take more than I have. So off to HD in a bit so I’ll be prepped for tomorrow.

Well, started off as a crazy day. I got dressed, all prepared to get to out to the shop.... then all of a sudden, the wifey exclaims that we had appointments for the dogs to go to the groomer! .... five minutes ago....

So got the little old lady (the dog, not the wifey) all harnessed up and off we went! Got there in a reasonable amount of time. The groomer works out of her home, she said it was ok we were late, she still didn't finish her first cup of coffee.

When I got home, went out to the shop to open and check out the new shop vac.... the box was perfect, still all taped up. When I opened it up, much to my surprise, there was a shiny new vac in there. Only problem was there was nothing else... no hose, no filter, no wheeled base, no handles, no nothing else!
Man, was I both angry and disappointed at the same time!

A call to Home Depot was made, just as the customer rep was pulling up the order...BEEP, BEEP, BEEP..... call dropped. OH BOY, I SEE HOW THIS IS GOING TO GO! So, called back, got another nice lady, who proceeded to refund my first purchase, schedule a UPS pickup, an then discount a much larger vac with double the accessories (actually double the price) to a lower price than the first one! A big thumbs up to HD for customer service!

Hopefully the next one will have all of its pieces / parts. Went to retrieve the first doggie, took the second and exchanged them. Now just awaiting a call to pick up the second one. So much for shop time today.... maybe sneak in a few minutes this afternoon.....

Any chance everything "missing" was inside the canister??

Looking close to done.

Love my graco. Barn is next up next year.

Good morning

Don, thanks for showing me your hutch (fingers crossed that doesn't have an alternative meaning). I did try to find out what they were with that new iphone translation feature, however it wouldn't dare attempt English US to English UK.

BTW I am okay with using pounds for pressure. When I worked in mining the old timers taught me in PSI which hydraulics lines to be very respectful of. Even to this day I still prefer to fill my tires with non-metricated air.

Bird, you are smart not lazy, nothing wrong at all with getting someone who does it everyday to sort your computer stuff. Instead of all the head scratching you are also helping to keep someone employed locally :thumbsup:

It is over 3 days since we had any significant rain and the wind doesn't look too bad today, so hopefully the Iseki should not make too much mess if I use it as transport for my chainsaw stuff and do a bit of alder felling. With no Alaskan mill to play with like Ken, the thicker trunks will be future firewood, while the 4-5" straight lengths make ideal piling to go around the wetland islands.
