1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

someday maybe

for now the compressor sits in the way and I drag hose where ever it needs to go. There used to be compressor wiring in the storage area and it was plumbed for air but the seller pulled it all out

 

I wonder if you're like me...

When it comes to helping someone do a project of their own, I have all the motivation to help get it done.

Yet it's hard to muster up the will to finish a project of my own, even if the job is smaller/easier.

For instance, I haven't bothered to weld up the legs or supports for my 'larger' welding table yet I offered to fix my wife's uncle's trailer he used to bring the trencher with.

One of the side rails has broken welds, the wood is all fucked, the sides aren't tied in, it's just old and needs help. I've drawn up a plan to cut 6 x 24" long sections that will have 2 holes per drilled through that flank hooks/tie downs that I'll weld on. To add to that, I'll be adding flat stock to the other side to 'sandwich' in the new wood panels.

Fortunately, I'll be able to knock out getting everything together on Monday at school so I'll be using more free metal. Once that's done, he'll bring the trailer over and I'll weld it up at my place.

 

Don't you threaten me with a good time

 

Only thing I find myself contemplating is, how wide a diameter I'll go with on the PVC pipe...

 

I have a work in progress

 

Man, that looks comfy as hell!

I dig it!

I've always wanted a pond but fear it'll be a breeding ground for mosquito's here.

 

Thanks!

The fish take care of most of them

 

Yep, a fish pond is what I've wanted!

Damn, didn't consider that they'd help with that.

 

Dirt and weeds. The area I'm in has a lot of high winds and every year we have a new weed growing from what gets blown over the hill from Cali. It's too much yard for grass. I'm not at all a good gardener and I just need a place to sit around a fire pit and the dogs track and dig all over the backyard. It's more their yard than mine.

 

You Arizonians and your, damnedable, dry heat

 

4" Sch 80 Sewer main.



Id go like 3/4". Thats what most houses have coming to them from the street before it steps down to 1/2".

 

I sweat going to the mailbox here.
Cut the humidity with a knife

 

But... I have misters too

 

It's so funny you said that, cause I just finished telling Jimmie I've settled on 3/4" as well.

Lawn size will be approximately 420 square feet total. A good downsize as the lawn is only for the dogs really and the yard is a total of 1,100 square feet.

Going back to when you asked if I'm installing it myself or not...trenching would be the hardest part here. But not an issue really if you rent one from Home Depot or the like; just make sure you hose it off as they have a 'cleaning fee'

I just don't have anything to add regarding the colder temps you guys are subjected to. Freezing temps aren't a thing here but maybe someone can help recommend a solution for ya.

 

Anyone remember the site that had the bolt spec for any given bolt part# (in this case, 90119-08571)?

Need to track down the bolt size for the brake dust shields.

 

Dang thats only 2 of my patios haha. I think my grass is like 6600 sq ft just in the back. Whole property is right at 20000 sq ft or just under a half acre.

 

Yeah no

We had considered a house immediately outside our development, but they were all older houses and...that would've presented its own set of issues.

LESS YARD MAINTENANCE FOR THIS GUY.

I'm betting your pup is loving that yard of yours though.

 

Seat stealer.

 

Older home just means you get to make it your own.

I just got approved on a small loan for covering the big items needed for my kitchen remodel. Gonna start on that this fall.
