    The only thing about using composite, you can't build the frame with it, can you?


    Kinda like a Toyota frame, once the frame rots, you just have a cab to sit on :anonymous:

    I'm definitely not a good welder. But I can stick things together when needed.

    Brace for mounting a fish finder is on back order. The dash is just plastand won't take the weight. So this is my shot at making a brace for the interior of the dash20240401_114933.jpg 20240401_114927.jpg
    I'll clean it up some and paint it. I will be using a grinder :anonymous:

    Treated structural, composite for anything visible.

    Even if you do cedar, use treated for the structure.

    Too much of a slope off the back of the house, it's going to be a two tear deck.

    Everybody healthy and happy right now. I think baby boy has night and day swip swapped because he sleeps good during the day and is up all night. We're trying to change that.

    Saw the pediatrician today things are progressing nicely. Whenever I hear stories about business owners being booked out 6 months I wonder have they reached their cap of how much profit you want to make per year or is talented help so sparse you can't get more crews to level up and gross you more...maybe both?

    I think it's lack of help/talent, from what I've seen.

    Ok shop houligans, here is the Pure sign cleaned up. It laughed at the Dawn and soft brush :rofl:. So I brought out the pressure washer didn't make much difference either just knocked off the mud crust and mud dauber cocoons. The jeep grill is still in it's original shape it was found.

    Been busy today walked 4 miles, tilled the garden again and planted taters. Cleaned up the Pure sign and wife had me pressure wash the dog and cats food trays. Tuckered out. Again having cold beverage waiting on the dogs boyfriend to come down and play.
