Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

^^^^^
I can get behind that.

 

Looking good!

That must have been a huge project to build originally with the curved slabs and all the block work - did you build it?

 

This one. The second time. The first time I had a bigger list of stuff I needed and was searching on Home Depot's site. I could a swore the first stuff I bought came up when I searched "self leveling" but the next day it clearly was not. Luckily, I just had to trim a few hih spots and had enough room to lay this stuff over top. It looks like they're both similar compounds, so hopefully they play nice.

I checked the weather 10 minutes before I started, (20% chance of nothing) and 20 minutes later we had a 10 minute shower. The first 2 tubes worth look a bit pitted from the rain, but the rest looks good. Nothing I could do there. Between the sealant and the foam backer rod, I'm into it for over $300 just to seal the cracks!

 

Learned that one from a very wise man.

 

No, we moved in when the house was 1½ years old. I don't like interlocking stone at all. In this neck of the woods it will inevitably shift and look bad. Until now, I have skillfully avoided ever coming into contact with it.

I hope what I did works, because I don't know what I'm doing.

 

Morning, Wrenchmen!!

 

Morning Shop! the staffing bonanza continues. They are actively interviewing for a new shop manager. I know 2 of the candidates and would likely be fine working for either, the others.. I guess time would tell. Lots of things up in the air right now. Seems like the whole staff in the shop is just kind of waiting to see how it plays out. They may find themselves looking for more staff. I'll be glad when it's over and I know where I stand.

Probably a bad time to tell them I want to change my schedule to 4 10s..

 

Good Luck! I hope it works out for you and your family

 

Thank you hopefully I hear something soon. There's some serious disorder here too, people are getting moved around on the Management side.

 

Impressive! you have all you needed in a factory that you run it by yourself!

 

Serious post.
Most of you have read my posts. Most of you have formed an opinion of me based on those posts. To those of you who have formed a favorable opinion based on my posts, I will offer this to those in this thread:
If you need to talk to someone, send me a DM here. Please. Include your cell number if you want to text. The content of the message to me does not matter, the listening part is what matters. I am not a doctor, so you get no medical advice. I am not a lawyer, so you get no legal advice. Etc, etc, etc. What you will get is an ear that will listen. If you need an opinion? Mine are free!
So seriously, if any of you reading this need to talk to someone who will listen, I am a good listener.
@RustyGreen and @six5crèéd have sent several messages to each other with great results.

 

@six5crèéd

How many tractor attachments could you build at the new place?

 

@Cwopinger ol Rusty hit the nail with this sentence. You might not have much in common with work experience but you do have the other mushy things.

 

Not sure, started on another one about a month ago here and haven't touched it since. I could do it at home since I have the mill there now though.

 

Front axle out and straightened, it’s actually closer than the other one.




I had the surge brakes working years ago and the tongue part started leaking so I unhooked it. Apparently the brake shoes came apart and got hot. Fixed that.







It’s ready to go home. Now to order some new tires.

 

Ditto...i may not have GOOD advice but at least i wont give you BS...its based on my experience. Theres always someone to talk to

 

Lost one rim, not bad considering. Luckily I had two spares.
