what did you do around the house today?

Floor jack seems safer. Came out no problem.

[suntan]

God damn, I have to do the same thing.

[firebane]

Beyond fence crew meet? One side of my fence is leaning / that far lol. Stupid winds

[ExtraSlow]

Watching people jack things up in unstable ways makes me very anxious. Have a relative that nearly lost his eye doing that when the jack slipped and smacked him.

Just Art Room things.

Jackall/farmers jack is preferable to floor jack. Ask your neighborhood 4x4 /jeep freak to borrow theirs

Got all the posts in on Friday. Today was the day to start building panels.

Spent the day trying to figure out a workflow. I also had to rebuild the last white panel of the neighbours fence. There was an agreement between the previous owner of my house and the previous owner of the neighbour’s where they swapped some land with a caveat on title. Us new owners decided to get rid of it.

Decided to go with pocket holes to attach the rails, cause why not. Haha.



My ghetto jig to get the cross rail to the right height



Half done the first new panel.



This is my ghetto mitre work station cause I can’t justify getting a Mitre saw stand. A couple of 2X10s on saw horses. The irony is that with the price of lumber, I’m spent 80% of the price of the actual stand.



It’s also doubles as a pocket hole station at the end.

[benyl]

Cut and seal application station.



Partly done on the other side. I’ll likely do the full fortress setup with the top rail and the 1X4 fake rails on the inside.

Great job on the fence, it looks to be the equivalent quality as @gpomp built in cabinets in his living room.

Did you let the fence boards dry before installing? I find that fence boards are always soaking wet when you buy them so I started laying them all out for at least a week to let them shrink before installing. Enables more privacy and minimal gaps between boards.

A+ cabinet rip-off joke. Apparently I’ve given you too much rep already.

[suntan]

I like gaps so that people can peep into my art room.

[Disoblige]

Playing with my 40V Worx leaf blower.
Thing is super powerful and lightweight. Just a bit loud.

Cleaned up my garage, Got the boat in the driveway to get it ready to put away.

Ugh, I have to do this on a 6x6 on my retaining wall, how did the reinstall action go?

I, too, like to have people peep into my art room.

Front door latch was sticky. Door not staying closed without deadbolt.

Opened it up, sprayed it down with a metric fuckton of silicon lube, wiped off the overspray, put it back together, working smoother than it has for years.

I think thats an important life lesson: When she's all dried up just use a metric fuckton of lube.

Also a life lesson that you can't just spray the outside and hope it works its way in. Gotta get up in there go wild. If some drips out, just wipe it up and keep going.
