Home Improvement Today?

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

6 gallons of paint bought, homemade scaffolding assembled. It worked 15 years ago, hope it stays together again. I need to add 1 or 2 more braces.

 

Hauled in two pallets of laminate today.


Shit was heavy and no fun. Should have paid the delivery fee. Get rid of my utility trailer so that I stop doing that stupid Shit. Never learn....

 

Oh, did I mention it's hot as fuck and my heat pump/ac is out?

 

Be careful with that. Hospital bills aren't cheap these days.

 

Looks pretty safe.

 

Agreed.

 

No wobble...

 

Watch your footing though. One wrong step...

 

Spent the day mowing the backyard and clearing out more overgrowth behind the shop.

Doubled the brush pile that I've been trying to get the city to come collect for at least 3 months.


Couple of pics from the last cutting.



Now...

 

Burn permit?

Only $10/day for us

 

The city does burn permits. Never got one, so I don't know what they cost. Just never think to go by the FD to look into it. Also, not sure where I would burn exactly.

 

Right there where you have it, lol. I think our requirements are pretty much have a hose reach.

I found ours online. Getting a propane torch for the 25lb tanks makes quick work getting started

 

It's sitting on my driveway. I'm not going to burning it there and have the concrete shatter from the heat. All the dead spots in my lawn are around tree so that won't work until I get the tree removed, which should be starting at the end of the week. This will be in the way though for the tree guys to access areas.

 

If the tree guys bring a chipper maybe they’ll take care of it

 

Do you all prefer the blue painters tape or the green frog tape? I’ve always used the blue painters tape, but had bad results this time. It didn’t want to let go and kept ripping.

 

blue, but buy 3M/scotch, not the knockoff cheap stuff

 

Snagged a 24ft and a 32ft fiberglass extension ladder from a retiring electrician for $150. Was somewhat nervous about securing them to the OEM roof rack for an hour trip, but it worked out great.

 

Frog Tape hands down. They make a 4 pack contractor pack you can get at Sherwin Williams that is blue and I actually like better than the green version. Also, after you tape, pre wet the taped edge with a lightly damp sponge (after you have pressed it on good by hand) to activate the special barrier.

 

That’s what I was using!
