Flooring looks great.
I assume they have to cut all door frames to fit under.
Who checks which thermostat you have for a rebate?
Most thermostats basically the same, except some control more functions.
Good morning!!!!

Best kind of day, take a drive and sight see without a plan.Aunt and I are going site seeing today. No real plans. Just drive around the country side.
Finally got a picture of turkey and her chick. I am sure it is not my neighbors Guinea.

Good Morning!!!! 83F @ 6:15AM. Sunny. High 99F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Back into the 100s for the weekend, and most all of next week. At least the smoke is clearing a little more, but still not healthy breathing.
Pond looks nice, Paul, and what a relief. A post or two on Yelp! might help someone else avoid all that drama...
You can try starting out with a smallish tank, Ted, and just trade up to a larger one if you end up using it a lot. But if you're doing much TIG, you'll need pure argon for that, or helium if you're doing much thick aluminum. Then argon/25% CO2 for MIG and steel. So two bottles. I've worked my way up to the biggest bottles I can easily carry/lift into and out of the truck. Still not as big as we used to use at work.
That chick is growing up fast, Ron.
If I could figure out what size capacitor(s) to add to the A/C compressor, Ken, I'd be on it like a rooster on a June bug...
Monster watermellon, David. Be careful with that ibuprofen. Easy to get permanent acid reflux if you take it for too long or without food.
The county reported another 178 new CV19 cases over the weekend, bringing the total to well over 2000. The 18 - 24 age group now has nearly twice the population as the next largest, which is 25 - 34. And the only deaths are in the 65+ group. Yet somehow they're letting the barber shops open again, so I set up an appointment for next week.
Floor came out nice, Phil. Some thermostats need 5 wires, others 2 or 3. Depends on the furnace. Instructions should have come with the equipment/thermostat, and there shouldn't be any mystery to it if the person doing it can read...
I lost 20 pounds during my last move, David MFW. Took me most of a month, and almost 30 trips @ 3 hours each direction. What a way to start a retirement...
I wasn't getting ahead as I was trying to catch up this morning. You folks were posting as fast as I could read!
No nap yesterday afternoon; I didn't make it back from town until almost 2PM. Big flap at FedEx when they wouldn't ship anything in a beer box, and had to buy one of theirs and repackage the valve set. What a mess. But the hydraulic shop had the correct fitting for the tractor, and I scored five pounds of Hatch chilies at Safeway.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool2: So I'll start the day roasting chilies before it gets too hot out. Ended up with a BenQ monitor, with an extended warranty. Should be here Friday.
Got a loose connection on the Vanagon's tach fixed before the trip, but now there's an intermittent alternator light on the dash. I can tell from my voltmeter that he alternator's working just fine, and the blinking seems more vibration/RPM related. I see some wire chasing in my near future...

As soon as it’s fixed, I’m selling it , or giving to my dad.
It runs ok while cold. A dishonest person would have sold it as is.
You still have to take transmission off to fill it, no external reservoir like my old wheel horse, and you won’t get the plug out while it’s on the tractor.
These things are not made to be serviced.

Rest in Peace
Of why not just use a little manual suction pump, as I've done? In fact, I guess I still have that little pump.

Good morning to all! Low of 50, only going for a high temp of 76 today! Woohoo! Chances of a shower this afternoon. Low tonight now forecasted for 44. All of this will be short lived.... temps back to the 90's by the weekend.
PJ, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Enjoy your dinner together! Oh, nice pond, they did a great job.
Ron, nice turkey pic, I would think the chick would be bigger by now....
Drew, thanks for posting the tractor video. Looks like there is a good air ride setup in the cab. At first it is strange to see the 3 point setup in front, but then remember that most European tractors are made that way. I can understand the reason for it, but do they have to plow in reverse?
Randy, I have never had gas hooked up to my mig / wire feed also. Only used the flux core wire. It is said that using gas, Mig welding is much cleaner and easier. For TIG welding, it is a requirement to use gas...
Ken, were you able to find the leak?
Some errands again today, one to get a couple of 220v 50amp plugs to make a heavy extension cord for the welders. Then maybe finish pulling the additional 220 circuit in the shop, got started last week, but never finished it.
Everyone have a great day!

The oil in it was just replaced 2 yrs ago. It looks good and clean. I have one of those suction things, never used it.
The real solution is what Don said, buy one that has a drain to start with.
This was not an entry level husqvarna from a box store, but a “better” model with a welded deck from a mower dealer. Yet it still had the same basic entry level transmission. Live and learn. I got over 10 yrs from it and with rebuilt transmission should go for 10 more. Does need new battery. Also needs a safety switch replaced, just not sure yet which one. I jumpered across a couple to “fix” that issue.

Good afternoon, the weather is gorgeous here, with just a few fluffy clouds and a temperature that was perfect for wandering around a nearby town this morning in just shirt sleeves. First time we have been inside a shop together in many months.
Kyle, I have quite a strong Yorkshire accent, which is no problem in the North of England but a rare thing where I now live. Thanks to films and tv shows, the locals around these parts will have far more experience of hearing a wide variety of American accents than mine, so it may actually be quicker if you order the beers while I just smile at the barmaid and pass over my credit card - plastic is a wonderful universal translator.
PJ, great to see the major landscaping reach completion and congrats on your 17/7. I would be hoping the lead time on the neighbor's Chevy was long enough to be in with a chance of a second helping of peach crumble :licking:

Roy, you would never guess it if you only read the news headlines, but this world has lots of very good people, just like that lady - and you.

Thanks, and yeah, we've planned to write a few reviews here and there. We just wanted to wait until the whole thing was done. You know, not jinx ourselves. We'll probably sit down this weekend and gather all the details, then start writing.
He did great work for us when he built the new retaining walls around our walkout basement. Then, the next smaller project didn't go as well. The pond, of course, was a complete disaster. Whenever The Wife would chat with him either on the phone or via text messaging, he always assured her that we were at the top of the list on his white board. She popped into his office one day after not hearing from him for awhile, and discovered that not only were we not at the top of the list, we weren't on the board at all. That was the proverbial straw, when it was obvious he had no intentions of finishing it. I won't feel at all bad about writing an honest review of our experiences with him.
