60+ year old thread.

Mark I looked up the product you have chosen -and that is some good looking stuff. One thought -I don't know if you have chosen your coating yet, but one of Aeratis Traditions paint stain choices is the same stuff I just used on my new deck framing. I used the Cabot Solid color 100% acrylic stain. I was impressed with the way the stuff worked . I "one-coated" as Cabot said I could. I noticed the Aeratis Traditions people said to use 2 applications. Understand I only used this on my framing and stair stringers. My decking is Fiberon Symetry (Warm Sienna). This decking has a 50 year warranty.
That flooring looks good .

 

No, that's the original put in 16 years ago - still looks solid and you are right that it kept the original from bowing or squeaking.

 

I actually have some cans of Cabot stain in the basement - bought it for the back porch last year and didn't get to it. The listing on Aeratis' page is in order of performance with Cabot at the bottom. Since I no longer have the receipts for the Cabot stain I'm going to try the Sherwin Williams. We typically use that paint for our interior painting and have a good working relationship with the guy who runs the local store. Thanks for pointing that out to me, though. I'd missed it. If I still had the receipts I'd probably go with it.

 

Afternoon all:

Now here's an idea for those who like to grill!

 

I Don't Think So, Carl. LOL

 

I would bet they are all good. As with any paint/stain job, The cleaner the surface is better. I am beginning to figure out in my senior years WHY I hate painting/staining so much. It is all the prep one should do do do the job right, and that is the only way to do a job. TRouble is retirement means I DO have the time but I would rather do something else. Also I am a tightwad and am afraid that someone else won't "do it to my standards".
Were you ever stationed at Fort "lost-in-the-woods" in Mo?

 

Love this -- not so sure my wife would approve for its use at a party

 

Good morning, all!!

No, I was there for a few weeks for a course once but that's it. I spent a total of 4.5 years at Fort Sill in Lawton, OK, though. Of course, the Army made it up to me by sending me to Language School in Monterey, CA and later another 3 years tour at Fort Ord with the 7th Infantry Division (Light) in Monterey.

 

Good morning folks.
Love the Redneck combo grill and cooler Carl . But like Mark @markmizzou said, I don't think my wife would approve of it

 

Monterey! ahh you were probably around the guys/gals that were VERY-VERY important on our planes -the linguists on the RC135's.
Fotr leonard wood seems to emit different likes/dislikes amongst Ex-Army folks, thats why I asked . I was on the Fort a few times with my employer after my discharge. I also got to Whiteman a few times. Love t see the B2's there. We see them overhead once in awhile here in central Mo

 

Showed it to my wife and she said only if it is blue or teal (whatever that is) color.

 

At least she did not say pink or black.

 

My uncle, career navy & WW II mustang, taught in Monterey when I was a kid. I spent quite a few summers and loved them all. It's sad for an old guy to see how built up it has become. But that's progress, or it it?

 

I realized after reading 95SLE's sig that I have worn long pants once since I retired 2/28/20.
This was back on 3/14, when I went to a funeral. I think that was the last time I wore shoes too.

 

Believe it -that the wild colored toilets and sinks of the 50-60's have become the most desired and reused bath fixtures. So check out it's value before you use it as your redneck grill/cooler

I had a few of those AF linguists in my section. I trained as a Mid East/North Africa Foreign Area Officer (attaché, pol-mil advisor, security assistance officer, etc) with a year of Arabic in Monterey and then 1.5 years with the State Department's advanced Arabic center in Tunisia for language and cultural immersion. I later commanded a tactical intelligence battalion that had a mix of Arabic, Russian and Serbo-Croat linguists, along with ground surveillance radar, counter-intel, interrogators and ground based collectors and jammers.

 

I am a shorts guy rather than long pants but I like my shoes and do not care for sandals. Around the house I like to wear socks.

 

Gloomy morning here. At least it's not as hot as it's been.

 

Good Morning folks . Agree with the gloomy morning Dave. Took the dog out for his 6 AM walk and if looked like 4 AM. Busy day today. Dentist appointment at 10 then a vet appointment for the dog at 4. The dentist was closed for sometime and now he is trying to get caught up with all his patients. I was due for a cleaning in June but was canceled and now my appointment isn't until November. They have quite a backlog.
Have a good day all.

 

Hawaii, brah.
I was actually mistaken with the shoes. I have worn shoes recently. Golf shoes.
