San Antonio

And most of you have that youth thing over me! It's OK, I might be slow, but I'm sure not fast! I get it done eventually!

 

umm I lol forward to fresh mangos in Mexico again...

You do good Kurt, most your age would not do what you are doing.

 

I'm done. Beer time!

Frame squared away, 4x4 cut to fit, and level as she goes.


Did a quick test with half the metal base, and it's right where I want. Tomorrow, I'll backfill the timbers, put down the pavers in the middle, and granite everything.


Put up those door stops and grab handles too! Too hot for the shed fan.



Job security!

 

Painted my midpipe to match the header and installed it! Thinking the catback would look good black now

 

What kind of paint?

 

Thank you!!!

 

Stove pipe black

 

Lol


Just wondering if it’s gonna hold up to the heat.

 

Rustoleum 2000* high heat satin black. It cooked on the headers and turned grey but i think itll hold up better farther down the line

 

Howdy Kevin
I see ya got it poured

 

That’s great

 

Busy weekend, nice...!

 

Looking sturdy Kevin! How many bodies did it hold?


JK!

 

don’t know how missed all this but it looks great!

dude I just took all my seats out and deep cleaned everything. FANTASTIC.

Enlighten me, what’s a Factor55?

man this makes me so jealous. We tried to take the dogs to water but the preserve we went to was dried out.

you have a S/C just waiting around? Dude pop that baby in!

okay the pool pics about made me cry. I need some water in my life bad.

looks good man. You seal them before putting them in yet.

I’ve always wondered how people keep everything painted from header back. I always thought the paint wouldn’t hold up.

dude I can’t believe you didn’t call me. Kev told me he was over there helping after. You literally live a block away. We gotta have some beers soon.

 

Evening everyone! Good day done with seemingly small progress. Level is hard when playing with gravel! Lowes run for me in the morning, so @Phoosa, I'll be rolling through San Marcos and can pick up those cases at work if it's OK. I will text you, and probably be about the same mid-morning time.

 

@4sky droppeda bomb on me yesterday. He’s leaving Tuesday. Heading back home to California and getting off active duty. Anyone want to get together tomorrow night and share some beers and send him off right?

 

No I'm not going down that rabbit hole again I knew if I said s/c Robert would be all over that lol

 

Man, I'd love to send the youngster off, but I will have to do it from a distance. Post a pic, and I'll like it!

 

Factor55 is a brand of winch thimbles that replace the hook. They are considered a safer alternative because it's much less likely you'll get your fingers caught in the drum and the load is more secure because you're using a D-ring instead of a hook with a flimsy latch.
