Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

I should have wished for winning lotto numbers.

Im one lucky bastard! There was no damage to the cap and the truck only has a small pushed in section of the roof.

It's not hurting anything the way it is, but I am gonna pull it out anyways.

 

I took the truck for a drive. There is no wind noise or trouble with doors closing.

 

That ain't bad considering what it could have been!

 

Could you push that to your neighbours insurance?

 

Large bathroom plunger or pair of suction cups?

 

First one done, tested with 120 psi and no leaks. The last picture you can barely see the baffle to make the coolant flow right.

 

Honestly? Neither. I'd take it to a body shop. Yeah, it's easy to pull that out, but it's even easier to over-pull it. That metal is thin, but the reinforcing ribs mean that it's not going to react just like a piece of sheet metal, and unless you have a lot of experience with that, I'd be hesitant as it's really easy to make it even worse than it is now.

 

I'm guessing that could probably manage 1200 psi without any issue.

 

I usually leave whatever round up is left in my sprayers and put them in the well house to keep them from freezing. Then next spring have to clean them because the liquid has turned to a nasty film. I had an idea, rinse them with water then run some RV antifreeze through them and leave them in the shop, nothing in them to freeze or gum up.

 

I'm right there with you.

That sucks. Glad to hear it isn't bad.

Probably not. I had a tree fall from the neighboring yard onto my truck, and the neighbor's insurance wouldn't cover anything since the tree fell onto my property. I had to go through my insurance.

 

Thanks for the reminder.... need to drain my pressure-washer in case we get any freezing weather this year.

 

Mine is in the well house

 

I just put a new pump on my pressure washer this year so when I ordered it I also ordered a can of pressure washer antifreeze lubricant. Stabil who makes it. Screws on where the garden hose would attach.

 

I need to get some, didn't know they made it. Available on Amazon

It's a vacant lot. I know who owns it and he knows I have been dealing with his dead falls for years.

I discussed it with my insurance company, they said that's what your insurance is for. There is nothing I can do to make his insurance pay for my damages.

I'd love to see it come up for sale.

My lot is a full acre and the vacant one is the same.

2, full acres in the middle of town would be awesome!

 

I wish I could still be working !!

I hear about jobs some of the younger guys late 40`s and 50`s are working on and wish I could be there .

I was lucky back in the seventies I was heading for the pipe line in Alaska The ferry broke down . Quite possible that saved my life most all the welders died from breathing all the fumes being enclosed in the tents to weld.

 

Yep that's the stuff.

 

I have toget back to the shop for couple of projects going on, but @six5crèéd question, how do you attach a link like the one you did for Amazon? I'll check back after awhile.

 

If you are signed in there is an arrow that says "share" and it will copy the link, the one I just added I am on my computer and copied and pasted the link from up top
