Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Honestly I'd rock the crap out of that little Mazda.

 

So really, the guy could have just done it at home with his cordless.

 

Neither was your Pinto.

 

Well, Well, Well…..lookie here^^

 

Much to overcast to really see anything. If it got darker I missed seeing any changes.

 

We had clear skies for the eclipse, and 99.something% coverage. I had to use a flashlight for a while to help trigger the auto darkening welding shade, when it got to the peak, even that wouldn't work. Cool to see. It got weirdly dusky here, but not as dark as I thought it would.

I found it interesting that the brainiacs on the interwebs failed to mention that even with over 99% of the sun covered, it's still impossible to look at. Good thing they kept the kids home from school to keep them safe.

 

Part that got me when I saw my only total was the quiet. Every living thing just went silent. That combined with the Erie light was something I’ll never forget.

 

Sure, after all what possibly could go wrong?

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Got the deck square and started poking more holes, got three down to 36”, now to make them big enough for a 6” x 6”.



Yes, that is aluminum handles attached to the fiberglass, my dad ran over them with his tractor not long after I bought them



Cole said this trailer would look good behind his John Deere, then hooks it to his Cub Cadet

 

Thank you all made my evening!

 

You got that orange dirt like me!

 

Last deck I built was 20x20. I attached one side to the house and dug eighteen holes for piers. I only went down two feet as eighteen inches was the code frost line. Deck did not flex even a millimeter. When you build like that, math is not needed.
Funny thing...here in SC there is no frost line! You get rid of the grass and pour concrete right on the red clay.

 

The #1 personal torture machine tool.

The hand tamper is #2 by the way.

 

We are all here for each other. I like to think of it as a big ol support group. You got a problem, issue, or just need a virtual hug, we are here. You got a question, somebody here has the correct answer. We are all good at something, which is really cool. Seldom in real life can you get people with such varied backgrounds in the same room at the same time. And getting them to get along like we do? Cmon man, that seldom happens.

 

A distant second to the post hole digger by the way. A hoe is a close 3rd.

 

Have been tortured by both many times and probably many more. That block wall I mentioned b/4 had to have the ground and road bond tamped down level. Let's not forget the barbwire fencing too.

 

Looks like one of my R&D meetings...
