It cost a pretty penny. $33k. And this stuff runs circles around Trex.

Haven’t been around for a while and dropped in to say hi. Had a contractor come in and build a new deck. Wolfe Pvc. Next is to build storage area under deck

I’ve got plenty of time before I start that project. I hate linoleum. Never looked right to me. If I can cut up the old linoleum, I think I can get down to the 1/4 inch plywood underneath. I don’t think the adhesive has any grab in it anymore. When I made the transition into the bathroom, I...

Thanks for the info. Do you have any laminate tile suggestions for a bathroom?

Thanks for the warning. Do you have a product that would work well in a bathroom? Just need 60-70 square feet

Really? I used 400 square feet of Coretec 9x72 in the upstairs area and its been great. Is this stuff that much different?

I got all the ducks in a row now. Employer health insurance will continue at $185/month including prescription plan. Medicare with supplement plan G and part D will cost $312/month. Pension paperwork filed. And almost nothing above can be done online for setting up the bank transfers! And I...

Just saw your post. Would be cool to make it into the bed of a pickup truck!

My department gave me a retirement party today. The President of the university gave me a plaque recognizing me for 31 years of service. I’m humbled. So many great people!

Put Hunter in the kennel today. Gave me a chance to vacuum the upstairs. Got enough hair to grow another beagle! Mopped the kitchen floor too. I used a really cheap 2 mm glue down laminate from Shaw. Surprised how good it looks after 5 years. My friend who had heart surgery is going camping. A...

Put Hunter in kennel today. Going camping Monday. Pa state parks don’t allow pets. Hoping to get some deep sky imaging done.

Here’s one project. I intend to pull the work bench out and drywall behind it. I can’t do anything in the corner because of too much plumbing. I also want to pull down the shelves and salvage the wood. I’ll drywall behind them and clean and paint them, probably blue/gray. My deck is 50 years old...

Haven’t checked in for a while. Getting things ready for retirement. Less than 4 weeks to go. I got my Medicare and supplement all sorted out. Plan D all worked out. Just waiting for the day now

My beagle gave me a scare. Found a lump on his hind leg. But it’s a benign fatty cyst. But he has an infection causing his right front and back paws to swell. He will be on antibiotics for 3-8 weeks. But he’s eating

I built a hobby bench with cabinets. My plan is to build scale models. Might get an airbrush and take it to the next level. I’ve got some home improvements too I want to get to. My deck was burin 1978 but I’m hiring someone for that. I want to build a coffee station and a new kitchen table. And...

I retire in June. Looking forward to it.

Hey gang, Latest project, vented range hood. I hired a friend to help. The plan was to use a 3.25 x 10 vent to the front of house. Path was blocked by stud holding up bulkhead above cabinets. Ugg! Next option was go up into attic. 2x4 ran straight across where vent needed to go. Not structural...

We have a database analyst with covid and her daughter works the phones at our help desk. And in the middle of a major network upgrade, the head of Systems has his son with covid. They can work from home but they aren’t as available as they would be in person. And next week is the opening of...

I think you will need a 12-14 inch crosscut. This is something you are only going to do once so I think renting the saw is a good idea. Or you can look for a used one on Facebook market. When you’re done, sell it for what you paid for it. That should save you the rental fees. Lock the detent out...

We’ll have pork and sauerkraut at my brothers house today. It’s a tradition I am not really into. But it’s a family dinner. Making applesauce and roasted sweet and white potatoes with garlic. Drank too much coffee this week. Got a French press and a coffee grinder and was drinking 6 cups per...
