Wow... turns out we have perfect soil and drainage.

So did we, but the eco **** in charge was basically forcing any one building in the county to have a mound. Originally they told me I needed a three foot mound, which would have been at least four feet tall and twenty feet wider and longer and cost almost $20k. I threatened to sue, and they told me I could do one foot if I’d basically go away. I was in a time bind. My land perked perfectly, they said they found gray streaks indicating water had been that high sometime.

Good morning! , missed a few days, lots to get caught up on.....

My son did a video of the Christmas lights at his house (green and white lights) and our cottage (red and white lights). Here is a link:

Our 2020 Christmas Lights! Merry Christmas Everyone! - YouTube

Needed to do some errands this morning..... spent a lot of time waiting in lines.... 45 minutes at Wally World (at 6:10 am), 30 minutes in line at the PO, 15 minutes in line at the bank.... I am tired of waiting in line..... 5 hours of the day gone already....:eek:

I have had intermittent shop time, going out there right now.... I will catch up later!

Is that Clark Griswold’s house?

Looks very nice!

Good evening all. 36 for the start, clear sky, light breeze. Light wind day, clear sky, and high temp was 70F. 2 more days in 70's then rain and more seasonable temps. Lost a STL friend to cancer yesterday. Had been fighting it for years, good mechanic and fun to be with. Slow start, changed back to Volagi from Trek, town run for shopping, bike rid and nap when I got back.
Covid update: Cooke 1310 confirmed cases, 181 active cases, Montague 853 confirmed cases, 100 active cases, Grayson 4816 confirmed cases, 403 active cases, local 12 active cases.

Paul did not sound like a dream, more like nightmare.
Don that sounds worse than running a saw, hope some of that is seat time!
Ron, there are several carts with door frame in the curtains, if you need to get in and out a lot. I leave the driver side up till really needed. Cool pic

Dennis will try to be more clear when I reply to you :)
Steppe sounds like a very reasonable price.
Mike that is disgusting, wonder who came up with that?
Dennis 12 hour is too long!

Mostly, sorry about your friend.

32F and cloudy @ 23:00, headed down to an overnight low of 31F.

Tube feeders, squirrel feeder and deer feeder refilled, hopper feeder still had some in it ... will refill tomorrow. Cats all fed.

Tank on old toilet throughly cleaned and de-rusted ... :thumbsup:

Took wheel off two-wheeler so I can get a tube put in it tomorrow.

Also general cleaning around the house.

Home Depot order finalized and placed, along with an Amazon order for a carbide-tipped jigsaw blade for cutting Wonder Board.

Now working on trying to get exact, or at least fairly close, totals on trim tile before I place the order ... which involves figuring out the exact pattern that I'm going to use ... :confused2:

Was tempted but didn't try to use the HF 25% off coupon on the Diamond Back 7" tile saw before it expired.

That would have conceivably taken it down to $209.25 ... which is a good deal I suppose ... except for the fact that the RIGID from The Depot: 1. includes a stand which the HF saw does not (additional $60 bucks for the HF stand, which at least is a rolling stand, unlike The Depot's), and 2. potentially includes the Lifetime Warranty. I noticed tonight that HF has knocked off $30 off the price taking it down to $249.

Still $3 higher than The Depot's current price of $246 ... they'd going to need to do better ... :D

(Correction: price on RIGID @ The Depot is actually $269 ... not $246 ... :confused2:)

Hope everyone had a great day ... :thumbsup:

FWIW, RS. I parked the HF tile saw over a pair of Black'n'Decker plastic saw horses and some 2x4s, and it worked out great. Unlike a dedicated saw stand, the 'horses have been used for many other things since...
