Kind of goofed off today, no real plan just did some little projects that have been hanging out for a while.
Pat wanted her flamingo painted.
The beak is in the shop.
Got this sign from my bil for Christmas.
I was born in 58.
I drilled, tapped, and cut this bolt then ground a set screw down to clear the threads.
Had to file a bit.
All for a shift knob for the Speedy Cart.

Then I cut down the last church bench we need this for the lodge
I also cut seven feet out of the remainder of the bench and I am going to make a coat rack from it.

It's almost done, if I would get off my **** and fix the sewing machine I could get it done. Maybe tomorrow.

at the pace you've been on you DESERVED a rest day (goof off day) or two.
that cart is looking good and I bet once you get it on asphalt or cement parking lots and streets you'll have a blast.
did you insure it?
BIL's sign is great.

I'm starting to wonder if my covid shot is working on me a bit. I go this Wednesday for the second one, Maderna. Then I go Thursday to get my stitches out of both shoulders, had some cysts cut out. I'm a mess.
I took the Speedy Cart for a ride down the road, it clips along pretty fast.
I'm trying to get some time to pull the clutch out of my sewing machine, its stuck, then I can finish the upholstry.
Probably not going to insure it. Everyone is betting that I sell it at the first car show in May, it's not for sale but theres always the its not for sale price! Last couple of things I have built got sold for the it's not for sale price.
I worked on the ridge caps on the Gazebo for a while today until the Daughter and SIL showed up and stalled my project.
I applied a sealing tape to the roof panel joints.
There was scaffolding involved.
I learned this trick in one of Shortys safety classes.
I gave up for today, Dalton called and said he broke something on his mower, I told him to load it and bring it to the house tomorrow and we would fix it and finish the roof.

I got all of the ridge cap on the gazebo today. I was taking some heat from Pat and Dalton they said my scaffolding was sketchy I disagreed and almost threw them off my job site. Tomorrow I make a cupola for the top and I'll be done on the roof.
The shortest sheet metal screw that my supplier has is 1.25" and that looked pretty bad inside the gazebo
I cut 40 screws to .5" and used them for the ridge cap
Done except for the cupola
Ok the scaffolding what say ye
I thought it looked pretty good maybe I'm losing it and need to stay on the ground
Anyway me, jack, and coke are watching mr sirloin right now Pat is doing a baked potato to accompany this mess

Jim, I see nothing wrong with your scaffolding. Then again I've never set up scaffolding so maybe I'm missing something. On steep pitches I always threw a weighted string across the roof on one side of the chimney and then threw it back on the other side. Final step was to use the string to pull a rope and then tie the rope around my waist. Never fell off the roof and never hung myself. Your setup looks way safer.

Your scaffolding base is a little sketchy, but it would be massive overkill in the Philippines.

crawling around on that steel roof has to put a few bruises on you so happy to hear you are no worse for wear. nice work as per usual and dinner looks tasty.
keep up the good work cause even if you get done with everything at home it surely sounds like your friends need you. best of luck fixing Dalton's mower.

Didnt do much today, I think I sprained my body crawling on that roof. It wasnt too clear in the pics but I had two mats laid down then two pieces of 2x6 on them centered over a cross brace then the ladder was setting on the 2x6s. I did that to keep from bending the metal. I had to do everything from the ladder.
I went to Donnies today and plased out the parts for the cupola but didnt get to work on it as I had errands to run. Hoping to make some progress tomorrow.
Bob
When I lived up north my roof pitch was 12-12 and I did the same thing as you, tied off to the chimney.
Kay
I wouldn't have tried to set up at a customer's location like that. Would have opted for a boom lift. I was going to use the tractor and man basket but the basket is MIA.
Drives
Got a few bruises but got it done. Dalton showed up but didnt bring the mower.
Shorty
I like the way you think.
I dont think that idea will catch on.
Strouty
The bil wants to take it to walmart.
I saw your metal came loose, was the wind blowing that hard?
Going to see if I can find some steel to make a metal brake like the swag off road arbor press brake. Donnie has the swag and the throat is too wide to be useful in most applications. I need to brake a 3/4" lip in 10 gauge so I may be going to the scrap yard tomorrow.

I will have a trailer also no chance of leaving something behind.
I stopped at the powder coat shop and Dalton said a buddy of mine dropped off a grill to be coated, he couldn't remember the guys name. I said let me see the part.
It belongs to Alan he is building sort of a track styled roadster I had Dalton take the pic and I sent it to Alan with the message, (Its mine now) he was on the way quick.
I got the clutch out of my sewing machine today, the throw out sleeve is froze solid. I got it disassembled and the grease had solidified so it is in a bucket soaking. Reassembley tomorrow.
Just got back from the Dr.s Office got shot #2 hoping I'm not down tomorrow.

I got the maderna, so far today I'm doing ok, arm is a little sore. Pat was up all night with it, she has issues with her neck and had to postpone her steroid shot for two more weeks because you cant have any other shots within two weeks, she has an Ice pack on her neck and shoulder.
I have a ton of stuff to get done but I'm kind of staying with Pat for now.

Sounds like it hit you guys pretty hard. Prayers sent to you guys. I'm with you on the repeat. Do it again this minute. I don't want the US to end up like India right now, but I'm really afraid we might. I know the main hospital in my area is at 100% capacity due to Covid cases. Stay safe.

Hope your side-effects resolve soon. My wife & I got the Pfizer shots, the second one > 1 month ago. Not much of a wait, at the Miami FL public health trust hospital. They're using an 'all-hands' approach. Fire dept paramedics, and nurses giving the shots, the state allowed other health care professionals to participate too.
My wife's arm was a bit sore after shot #1, neither of us had issues after shot #2.
I have multiple friends who retired from Pfizer, anyone know about their facilities here in the USA? When the predecessor company merged with Pfizer, it so-happened their world-wide largest R&D facility was part of what used-to be Upjohn Pharmaceuticals. As in Kaopectate, Lipitor, minoxidil and ******, Rx's many GJ members have experience with I bet, one or-more. Pfizer just announced a half billion dollar expansion of their facility in the heart of the Midwest, Kalamazoo MI, former home for 100+ years for Gibson guitars, Shakespeare sporting goods, Checker Automobiles, Kalamazoo machine tools, and since early in the 21st Century, Pfizer.
One of my friends is a retired chemist for them, his wife was a research associate, others are IT people or in marketing/advertising. I had both my Pfizer shots before my friend the Pfizer chemist and his wife. Both said their post-Rx symptoms were minor or non-issues. The salaried employees should be getting some decent bonuses, he said, from the work time they're doing. Thank-god the products seem to be working. As-to having to get a booster towards the end of the year, I am OK w/that. I get the flu shots already, so what's another shot? If I start to behave badly, I'm blaming it on mRNA and nanoparticles.
