    Fuck PA is bad... Mmmm anodized aluminium pegboard... And a cheap plastic organizer... Needed to clean up the welding bench

    Think I'm replacing my doors this afternoon... Pulled out some "badly hail damaged" doors yesterday (guess insurance appraisers don't know the difference between oilcanning (a defect from the roll forming process) and hail dings)

    One door done, tried something different... that track set is actually installed backwards, its a low headroom elliptical, installed backwards to get about 14" of high lift. Had to rework the springs/drums a few times to get it to balance right (the joy of trying something untested) tracks sit 3½" below the ceiling.

    I love this thread, can't believe I haven't seen it earlier.

    What's the deal with this city surplus sale? I could use some lockers like this - the kids are getting just old enough to start going through my tools, and I want to get some of the more dangerous ones put away somewhere. I've been looking at the various cabinets but haven't found anything that I think would fit in my space.

    Painting round here today... continuing our project irradicate agent orange... what the PO liked about this hideous color is beyond me... so precariously balanced on a annoying convertible ladder 10' in the air over stairs with a pole/roller

    finally have the end to the washer/dryer replacement in sight... running gas line was a bigger pita than expected (farmed it out). Of course there's always one more part needed (3/8npt to 1/2"npt bushing). I can almost stack em!!!

    this mornings fun find, 16penny nails should not be used for window casing... yeah, there's drywall to repair now... lol guess they used up all the finishing nails framing the laundry room... (yes I'm serious sadly)

    oh, and "accidentally" knocked off one of the harry hays like tiles off the fireplace... sure looks like pl400 not thinset / mastic / ???

    Gotta post a pic of the lovely burlap sack used as an adapter in the dryer vent...

    I hate cleaning up 1/2assed work...

    This weekends project... 1/2 done, 7month olds naps are interrupting my noise making time



    knocked out the old bi-fold to the pantry, installing a new 36" double (hemlock, shaker style, with frame and hardware - 89$ at timbertown - 8 remaining as of saturday when I ordered another). But, currently stuck waiting to get on the sawzall as someone's napping... Right hand jamb is 1" out of square (takes me to 36" R/O at the bottom, so gotta cut it back)

    Wifes going to knock out a different yellow on the wall, new baseboards/trim as we go...
