Coop Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Thanks Chet. We had an Ace hardware within a qtr of a mile from my house and another about 2 miles away. Lowes and HD moved in and they shut their doors. Not only did we loose the products but we lost the home grown knowledge and customer service. Pissed me off!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legenddc Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Fought off some hornets last night while putting down some sealer on our deck. They managed to find their old nest inside the roof of a bay window which is strange since they're not supposed to return to old nests. I sprayed it a couple of times but since it's inside a cavity there's not a lot to spray. Any tips to get rid of them without getting a contract with an exterminator?

JohnG Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Best to spray at dusk when most of them are present (more exciting that way, too!). Some hornets are active at night so you don’t want to wait until too late. If there’s an area where they are always landing to walk into an opening, you can try to get some Sevin dust or other powdered insecticide on that service. They will track it throughout the nest with their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traditional bee/wasp/hornet can isn't doing anything. Will pick up some Sevin dust tomorrow if I still see them flying around. I got a couple of them last night with a tennis racket. Probably wouldn't be able to get them all like that without getting stung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I use one of those electric zap rackets for the wasps that are looking for new nest locations around our house. I’ve gotten dozens of them this year, it’s great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 I had one of those but returned it since it didn't seem to work on the hornets and I didn't trust my kids around it. Seems like the Talstar P Insecticide mix I bought a couple months ago has done the trick. Hopefully they don't come back next week while we're on vacation. Assuming we're in the clear I'll put some low-expansion spray foam in the hole to make sure they don't come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkinneb Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Actually Wed an Thurs but cleaned up trees downed in a storm while we were out of town. Unfortunately they stopped making this fence so not sure how that will work out. I really don't want to file a claim since we just got the estimate back from State Farm for hail damage from a storm in May and it it was like $70K I keep reminding my self many have it worse and these are definitely first world problems but I could really go for a non eventful year lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am a troglodyte and have a physical media issue. You don't even want to see the vinyl. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I'm always interested in lumber that priced right. Given the price and availability of ply I'll take anything i can get... We can work out a trade if you want some as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I've got 4 that will have to come down 3 are nice up 12-16' so I'll let you know before the tree guy comes to drop them (probably late oct / nov timeframe) and you can run out and if your interested we'll figure out timing. The cost will be free but we'll have to figure out how to get them to your house my tractor isn't big enough to move the trunks but slabbed we could get them out with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted July 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 My son in law and I are making a pair of Matchfit sleds. Mine to fit my saw and his to fit his newly acquired, used 22124 zip code saw. We got a lot of the cutting and routing done today during the 4th of July get together. The plywood strips will be laminated for fence parts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 @gee-dub, do you just plough the DT grooves out with the router, or do you make a straight relief cut with router or TS first? I planned to make a new TS sled with a similar hold-down system, but debated the benefit of just laminating bevel-edge strips onto a substrate, over cutting grooves into the sled platform directly. Yours looks pretty clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planned to make a new TS sled with a similar hold-down system, but debated the benefit of just laminating bevel-edge strips onto a substrate, over cutting grooves into the sled platform directly. Yours looks pretty clean. I plan the layout based on the ZCI and fence positions. I then cut the first two or three dados at the router table. In this case the dado in front of the fence position and the dados on either side of the ZCI that will go in. I then use the hand held router with a guide to cut the rest of the dados using those starting points. The dados are cut just a bit shy of full depth. I then follow with the dovetail bit in the same guide jig taking extra care where the intersections are to keep the corners clean. It is a lot of hand routing but worth the effort in the long run to me. I have an old thread that lightly covers this here: Seeing how I just kind of slammed through the build I will go add these pics and post through the rest of the current effort / process there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask, if your ok with me slabbing the logs at your place before moving them it'd make everything easier for both of us. Let me know. That time of the year is good weather wise. Too warm and running the saw is no fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post curlyoak Posted July 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Wednesday night I went down to Miami to watch Ohtani and the Angels play against the Marlins. Ohtani is the first hitter/pitcher since Babe Ruth. And he does both at superstar ability. He gave up one unearned run only. It was tied 1-1 in the 5th with the bases loaded hit a single and drove in 2 of the go ahead runs. He is a power hitter. Unheard of since the Babe. Last year he hit 45 home runs. And won the home run derby. He throws the ball over 100 mph. And has complete command and control.Very hard to hit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
