Good question. Like maybe instagram or the book of faces?

If you were a fanatic of tractors as he is, you might be able to find him.
I was thinking that but wasn't sure which place. Will see if I can find it. I miss the daily updates.
I need to search him down as well, it is a shame the way things went down.
The sandblast media will get used, doubt I will sell any unless I really need some cash. I had to explain to Chuck why he wasn’t getting any giant PVC cage furniture, he seemed to be OK as long as I keep delivering pecans and other expensive nuts.
I am loading tires at the SG now, then headed to get my PVC pipe for under the house. I don’t have enough time to get my list together today, but tomorrow I plan on getting everything figured out and then talking to the owner of the plastic pipe supply house. There is more than I remembered, so that is good.

I'm having a senior moment. I should, but can't think of who you are talking about.
Another $750 spent on pipe and stuff related to the drain project, at least this will actually gain me some space and be worth the effort in the long run. I plan on moving the current toilet and installing another one, so I would have to deal with this at some point anyways. It is only money, right? 
Technically I broke $10k at the auction, but one of Dad's items was in there, so I really didn't quite make it. I am still happy, some things sold for a lot less than expected, but most sold for way more than expected, in the end, I am glad it all went and I really wish I had brought more over there.
Also there is a guy looking to buy the 5 ton 6x6 as well, he wants to ship the thing far, far away, so they want to break it down and load it into a conex at my shop. Sometimes these guys buy more stuff when they see all the junk that I have......

Ok, curiosity demands the location of far, far away.

As long as it doesn't have any identifying marks - like company names on it - so that if it ends up as an attack vehicle used by insurgents somewhere you don't get hate mail/death threat - like that plumber in Texas whose truck ended up in a battle in Syria.

I was wondering why no updates or tales of gathering more scrap. I don't know what happened but he made me laugh and I wanted to hang out on a junk gathering mission. That *****I'm having a senior moment. I should, but can't think of who you are talking about.

Any idea what you paid for the stuff originally?
Today has an “almost there” feeling, the office is 95% done, but I have some backwards progress that needs to be made, there are several things that the painter didn’t do that I want done, then there are several things that need to still be touched up. I am going to spend the next week buttoning things up, electrician has three more punch list items and he will be done. I think my move in by the end of October is really going to happen.

Sold a transmission to one of these guy buying parts to fill a container to ship to far far away and when he left my house I had way more cash than I though I was going to get and a lot less junk outside the shop.

Be careful, buying giant compressors is what sent me down the 50hp RPC rabbit hole...
This one is only a 15 HP, I should be able to run it on my 40 HO phase converter, not sure what I am doing with it yet, I bought it before the auction, so I didn’t anticipate having almost no room to store it. I may pull it apart, then plug the tank and store that outside, the head and motor are relatively easy to store.

Just hangin' about up a tower
There was a tower crew from down south that was working here, they were fired midway and T-Mobile had to deal with the mess, it has been almost three months and no one removed the rigging from the tower. My T-Mobile contact told me they had sent another crew out to clean up the mess, apparently all they did was the ground stuff. Lucky me. There was not one rope, not two ropes, but three, also a nice aluminum block, USA made shackle and eight endless loop straps (same brand as mine). I am willing to bet that Rich C is not happy.
I haven’t climbed in a couple years, I think the last time was when I removed the other tower at this site. I was 50 pounds heavier and my climbing belt barely fit, now it barely tightened up enough. 
I felt like the stay puff marshmallow man climbing down, it was too windy to toss things, so I had all the straps around me neck and the ropes between my legs.

So at 50lbs lighter, and years later, how did this climb compare to the last time?

wow. so you got contracted to go clean up quick? Does that mean a foot in the door?
86, it was our tower and I cleaned it up because they didn’t and I figured it was worth it. The stuff was abandoned by the fired crew, I don’t need my foot in the door.
X, it went well, using muscles you don’t normally use always *****, I wasn’t winded like last time. I can feel it in my forearms, but that was more due to climbing down with an extra 80 pounds of gear. I will feel the full effects by this weekend, so that may change.

That score was certainly worth your time today!

That's quite a haul.
I just got the sewer drain temporarily reconnected, a bunch of half assedness going on, but it drains and doesn’t leak, I just ran about 10 gallons of water through it from the double sink.
Then the furnace wouldn’t turn on, I remembered there was something weird about it, followed the wires and it pulls juice from a light socket, yup, a light socket, the switch was broken and once I reworked it, the furnace kicked on.

It is not however, common to wire a furnace into a lighting circuit. Code is to have a discrete circuit for a furnace, with a switch on it for service.
