Tpt life

School’s out for the summer….

At the paint shop I once labored, we poured onto kitty litter. That litter was clay, so….yeah…dirt.

I would suspect a minor seal leak and the evaporation of one of the carriers.

I don’t believe table saws are the number one injury. I have seen way too many others in 20 years of on and off construction. I think you have to frame the thought with the terms “needing hospital treatment.” Most nail gun incidents are minor misjudgments, requiring no treatment beyond basic first aid. The same goes for most Stanley knife injuries. I think insurance cares due to the cost of treatment. Most injuries that cause someone to seek treatment, are in the community that utilizes the ER. It would be interesting to track day of the week and time of day.

Uncured poly will not be harder than wood, but will be gummy, loading cutting edges with something akin to pitch. This will introduce heat, and bog things down. I won’t say don’t do it, but will repeat to proceed with caution.

Foamy and smooth says poly. Proceed with caution.

This varies by product and model. Our LG laundry service has been flawless for 6-7 years now. That said, I dig in deep for cleaning and preventative maintenance. I don’t expect anyone’s front loader to last like the old top loaders. It is too much stress on the spider in consumer models. 10 years is a great run.

I’ve cut thousands of 16p nails with worm gear saws, opening ridge vents. I think the biggest fear is a badly brazed tooth. The carbide is brazed to the steel plate, and they can pop off at times. More likely, the nails themselves may “tear out.”

Trying to imagine life at 39 years. That’s a feat. Congrats!!

Celebrated 22 years with my wife yesterday. Did some shopping and ate some Jamaican inspired. Spent the afternoon on Lake Michigan. She sat on the beach while I hiked seven miles of back country and dunes. Both in our happy place. If you have not visited your happy place recently, this should be your prompt to go do that. The stress reduction is completely worth it.

1) Too many hobbies, not enough time. 2) Too many hobbies, not enough budget. 3) Wrong style of house to build most of what I desire to build.

I think this is poor advertising, but much like the rural network of Bob Ross certified instructors, that taught Bob Ross painting.

I had a jade bloom for the first time this year.

Had fun with the arcs of light and shadow in the 99.7% totality we had where I work.

CC will auto translate to English. They spend a lot of time in the roof system, and you can pause or slow down the playback and see some of the joinery detail.
