Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Good morning shop time gang, have a great, safe and blessed day.

 

I stopped turkey hunting when I realized how much smarter their pea-sized brain is than mine.

 

Morning all

Dam summer colds hate feeling bad, time to get the chicken soup out
Have a good day

 

And....

obviously, I'm not as smart as you.

 

Good morning Wrenchmen

Looks like the sun is turned on -- and there is grass to mow.



I hope your day is just as exciting.

 

Good morning friends, who wants to sing a duet with me? 1, 2, 3,.......


Okay that sounded awful.

Have a great day

 

I wasn't finished, @FastEddy59 you also get this goofy horse with wings sign we haven't been able to give away, or make fly.



And this 1957 Chevrolet..





Yours could look like that with enough time and money, which we won't be sending. This is the one you'll actually receive...





P.S. @StayinStock needs you to pick the car up pretty quick, his grandma is getting tired of it "sitting there cause he's too lazy to fix it up". <--- her words, not mine

 

I got one panel almost done yesterday, 5 more to do. Made some boards for the ends to cover the sharp wire and ripped a decking board to cover the top.

 

I see you have the umbrella out already. I have to set-up 2. 1 out by the garden and 1 out front for the Maligator.

 

We've had the umbrella for years, I got to make some bushings so it will fit the new table and not be sloppy.

 

Nice!

 

My wife caught one last cold before school let out. She's not pleased at all.

Hope yours passes quickly!

 

Good morning guys, have a great Wednesday!
Taking the wife’s car in for new tires today

Outstanding news!

 

Nicely done! When we moved in we needed a backyard area quickly to be able to contain the dog when she went out so we installed the metal stake/roll up wire fence that is effective but ugly. Fast forward a year and a half and this summer my to do list is to change out much of the roll fence with panels that are similar to what you have installed as deck railing, using hog wire in panels. From the internet this is a picture of my loose plan of attack.



It is a similar design as what you have done except a board on each side of the hog wire and all around the perimeter of the hog wire.

 

That'll be nice when you get it done, be sure and share the process with us!

The only reason I didn't put a board on the bottom is because it'll take up part of our view since our deck is so high. I'm either going to staple it to the deck with 3/4" staples or get some cable clamps like this and screw it.

 

I started a landscaping thread since I enjoy landscaping quite a bit. Here is a link to the thread:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/landscaping-thread-show-off-your-landscape.813908/

On TW there are home improvement threads, gardening threads, etc., but I did not see one dedicated to landscaping so I created one.

You should consider posting in that thread to show off what you have done. And I have to say, for a person who was "Asking for help" when you first floated the plans to build a deck, unless you have been receiving copious amounts of assistance hidden from this thread, you clearly did not need the assistance! You have done a fantastic job on the deck for someone who has never built one before! Personally, I did not doubt your ability at all.

 

Thank you for the kind words


We were over at the preachers house last night for small group and after we met his wife and mine were talking about VBS and all that needs to be done, he said they will have it figured out in no time. That led to us talking on the way home and Cole said that I just build stuff as I go, I explained to him it truly is a gift and I am very thankful for it.

The deck, I didn't know what to do and figured it out as I went, it may be a tad overbuilt but it is what it is

 

You are one modest individual
