Popular Post Tom King Posted July 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I spent all the time I had for working this week on painting this little building. It's on the piece of property that came with the lake rental house. It was peeling paint so badly that it was an eyesore. It's too good to tear down, but I didn't want to put a lot of time in it. The only thing we're doing with it is keep a chest freezer in it, and Pam has an industrial sewing machine in there. I stripped the front of it with the heat gun, and the rest of it was pressure washed this past Spring. I just loosely rubbed over it, and sprayed it. This picture is after primer. I was too busy getting stuff up to take one after I put the finish coat on it. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done on it, but now it's not so much of an eyesore. It's right at the road where you turn in to go to the rental house. Doing anything better to it is WAY down the to-do list. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 It's down hill after the prep work, primer and caulk. I talked to my cousin.in Alabama last week. He talked to me as to what he charges in Alabama to paint. I think I'll make up a sign and put it in.the front yard for next year. If They bite , they bite if not it's just fishin i.guess...lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I sprayed the finish coat on it too, this morning. I just forgot to take a picture. There is still some brush work to do because I didn't get real close to the glass, but Pam says she'll do that. It took me about 15 minutes to spray each coat, and more than half that time was moving the rig around. I didn't change the 25' hose that I use inside houses.

Tom King Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 There is almost no bounceback with Low Pressure tips. It's Much different than the old airless. It lays it on really softly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm old school with a roller. I feel better pressed in, than layed on.. Some painters around here will spray, but back roll.. I have stucco on my house. Too many paint jobs and stucco doesn't look good anymore... I may get one more paint job on my house before it's done and I'm done. This will be 3 paint jobs in 23 years and a final.. The trim needs touch up , but the body is in great shape. And no, I'm not talking about my neighbors wife...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chestnut Posted July 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 We welcomed our daughter Hazel into the world this morning at 2:14am.

I’ll be watching this build closely! So kinda sorta has nut in the name? The name originated from the Hazelnut tree. Following your post I put the name on the list and Megan fell in love with it. Now it's on the birth certificate so it's official. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Trigger discipline at the edge sander. I was shaping a dummy block for a tablesaw sled. I was very conscious of where my control grip fingers were but had the middle finger of my right hand dangling out in unawareness-space somewhere. The exact location of said finger was brought into sharp relief as the belt, moving at 65 feet per second, snagged my fingernail and flipped my finger out of the way. The abrasion to the tip was incidental and quit bleeding quite quickly with about 2 minutes of direct pressure. The meat under the nail seems to have gotten traumatized and is bruising (read in a Bill and Ted voice) most excellently. I iced the thing for a while and have been back to work but, as always, safety, safety, safety. Let's be careful out there. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"EVERYTHING GOES WRONG FASTER WITH A POWER TOOL"! So true. I also harp on having a first aid kit handy and having others know where it is. My rules for a first aid kit are that it: - Is low enough to reach even if I am severely injured. - Can be opened with one hand. - Contents are easily manipulated one handed. A shoulder high cabinet with a fancy latching system is of little help to me in an involuntarily one-handed emergency ;-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the identical thing on my left hand about 5 or 6 months ago. Took a little more skin of the end and the fingernail was all black from the base to about half way up. The knuckle joint was so swollen that I couldn't bend it for almost a month. I don't think the nerves will ever be right on the finger tip and the nail still has about 10% to go before it's whole. Honestly, getting a bit of a hit from the table saw or bandsaw would have healed up a lot quicker. Sure hurt like a melonfarmer! Never underestimate the appetite a sander has for human flesh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 For cuts and nicks I keep on hand golden seal pulverized root. Amazing herb. After a wound is cleaned apply it. It will sting a little. It will stop the bleeding and close the wound faster than any other remedy. After dental work that leaves me bloody I apply golden seal. The taste is not friendly but since I know the healing powers I don't think about the taste. Golden seal is also available in capsules, for the purpose of healing ulcers. A good item for a medicine cabinet or a first aid kit. It can be made into a tea but I would choose the capsules due to taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Another item I keep handy in the shop for a serious emergency is a wired phone. We have wired service as part of the internet package so I keep a handset next to the lathe. We don't use it for anything except calling 911. Easier to use with a bloody hand than a slick cell phone and gives 911 your identity and location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
