Marc that looks awesome. Love the hounds tooth. Damn your trunk is way bigger than mine. I need new 6.5's the driver side is blown out and driving me crazy. Maybe I need a box with a small woofer in the back. I just wouldn't have anywhere to put the t-tops. Not that I ever take them off. Bret

That's awesome Rian. He even sent you the little cardboard tubes for the lights that are really hard to find. Bret

Thank you cody. The water had no chlorine left in it according to my test strips. Sewer clean out would be a long ways for me at the front of the house. Hopefully I never have to drain it down that far. As for the boots thats exactly why I bought these. Composite toe and a 12 wide. They are...

Finish the rest of my update. Took my annual pics of my plants and trees. It's a lot of fun to see how much they grow year over year. Everything is a little behind on blooming this year versus last year. I think we had 2 additional hard freezes this past winter over the previous one...

Thank You Dan. Saw your message. Thank You. Thank You Marc. Bret

Very nice! I really like the design of the drawer handles. Wonder if those would work if I made them out of hard maple? Bret

Damn it's been 3 weeks since I updated and I totally forgot where I was. I started stripping the parts from the orange cabinet to make a recycled one for the empty space in the woodshop on the North wall below the new a/c. 20250305_085803 by bjohnson388, on Flickr 20250305_093257 by...

Thank You Kay. I did take the screw out. But then I discovered it was just full of grit inside and I was able to clean it out and getting it working so I left well enough alone. Bret

Looks awesome Adam! Bret

Bob to my understanding these trucks were originally all painted with Enamel. It was cheaper. GM cars were painted with Lacquer as it cost more. The trucks were intended to be utilitarian as you are well aware of and so fit and finish was not priority. Rian the main component I used to strip...

Rian just watched your latest video. Thought I would offer some motivation for your firewall. After stripping mine. I do remember the black tar like stuff being a bear to get off. I think I used a stiff cup brush on an angle grinder for hours. DSCN8588 by bjohnson388, on Flickr All cleaned...

We had the wind here too but none of that white stuff. The wind blew so much there was a haze of dust in the late afternoon, like there was a smoldering fire. The humidity was in the teens which it never is here. Still a little windy today but nothing like Tuesday. Bret

Todays work started with getting the workbench and woodshop back in order. 20250304_091018 by bjohnson388, on Flickr I found a home for the 2 wall cabinets I took down. I honestly have hated this cabinet since the day I finished it 17 years ago. 20250304_101137 by bjohnson388, on Flickr So I...

The hole on the AC did not have a knock out. I could have enlarged the hole but I already had the communication wire hooked up so I was lazy and made the adapter. Thank You Adam Thank You Lenny. Bret

Thanks Cody. It probably is suppose to have one. There is plenty of slack in the wire to install one. I may do that. My reasoning was its hooked straight to the main box and can be shutoff. It's not with in arms reach though. :ROFLMAO: I have all the stuff to do the ridgid conduit, but I...

Thank You Marc. Can't wait until the desk is fully finished and the bookcases going on top. Still some work to do. Thank You. I have been wanting a mini split since we moved into this house in 2016. I fully insulated the garage and the mini split was on the list but something more important...

LEGO Room Built-in Phase II Part Xc Well another vacation has started for me and as such I have a few projects to get done. The first was finishing my Lego Desk/Workbench. Both base cabinets got everything finished except the Bottom kick trim. I want to install it after everything is secured...

Man I forgot how smart you guys and gals on GJ are. And here I thought I was being clever. I stopped after about 10 minutes and did that. And then more when I was done. So far it has been awesome. Bret

That was not fun! 20250301_121142 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Bret

So can that beast just spit crown moulding or what? It has top, bottom, and side spindle. Geez. Bret
