due to the heat shoe start was moved up to 7 am. It's going to be 103 and with the heat index it will hit 110 fuck this shit

Had food now consuming coffee. I have 20 minutes to get my ass over to the med tent by 6am

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Rain, which pleases me.

 

[Adventurous]

Yo!

Took back my death trap Harbor Freight jack stands and used the money to acquire a cordless inflator, hackzall, and some additional tool batteries. Sounds like a win to me.

Otherwise, not much on the schedule today. 99% of the way through our taxes, and of course the single thing the wife has in her name she deleted.

Rain, which pleases me.

Jealous. I was hoping we'd get walloped by the storm.

 

[4xBoy]

You know the forum is old when people get excited by rain.

 

[Toshi]

I am working 7-5 today and tomorrow. So rain does not excite me, no

 

[jonKranked]

Up early, worked out. Espresso, breakfast now. Apparently assembling a trampoline today.

 

[6thElement]

A pleasant 60 freedums outside right now, we shall ride before it warms too much.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Hola, tacoritas! I ran 5 miles at the high school track. Hot and humid but I've run in worse. I'll pedal a bike at some point today. I went to the grocery store for the first time in four months and it was nice to see every single person in the store had a mask on. #soproud

 

[TN]

Here. All the women folk are currently at the pool, which is where I am supposed to be. We changed that plan because a drywall contractor was supposed to be here to fix the fuck ups for the prior guys. But... The drywall contractor didn't show this am. I'm about an ass hair away from sitting out in the garage and learning how to properly do knockdown on all of my spare drywall.

Wifey painted her office yesterday and the edges are... I'll say "not good". So I'll be spending a chunk of today pulling tape and repainting ceiling edges. The office desk painting and baseboard install has been accelerated. I got what I need to make a demo cabinet door for her which was my initial plan today but that has now been slammed into hold. Giddy.

I have a pair of those (6 tons) sitting in my garage as well....Mark bought them to use when we lifted his Jeep and let me keep them. Might have to make a trip today and go on a shopping spree.

Plastering drywall is the most obnoxious task of home remodeling.

Cash back or store credit, in case you wanna buy a pair that won't fail and leave you looking like the wicked witch of the west.

Looks like I'm in the clear....I have the 12 tons...which appear to not be part of the recall

 

[Pesqueeb]

Was out of the house at 0530. Headed over to Ute valley. Had the place to myself for about an hour, then when the hordes descended around 8 I headed home. Is now balls hot. Nap soon.

If you haven't left by now, it's too late........

No, sanding said plaster is

No. Texturing drywall is.

 

[maxyedor]

Fixing fucked up drywall texture with 17 coats of paint on it trumps all for home remodeling shiftiness.

 

[StiHacka]

Sweaty balls hot and humid, on my second beer already while working in the yard. I am watching towering clouds traveling at incredible speed. We could use some rain now, trails are dusty.

 

[eric strt6]

scraping popcorn ceiling texture off then retexturing and painting is the ultimate ball suckage

 

[eric strt6]

90 degrees in full shade with the heat index pushing it to 100 and its not 11am yet

 

[stoney]

Here's a new one. Drywall guy came by to apologize for being late and not being able to do the work today. Rescheduled for Monday am. I've never had someone come by and apologize.

Mmm... Asbestos

That's a good plan, shame I drank all my beer last night.
Must rectify.

 

[jstuhlman]

i had 2 left...drinking them now while putting up new light fixtures on the front of the house. will rectify lack of additional beers soon. also balls hot here.

not as impressive, but here are some crappy before and after pics of recent porch steps re-do. left basic structure in place but replaced all boards and railings. the before pic doesn't quite capture how warped/split/mildewed it was.

But why? Horse hair plaster is way superior to modern drywalls.

I've kept most of it in the other rooms cause it was in pretty good condition. The living room had been transformed into a bedroom and many part of it was damaged or missing. Also wanted to soundproof the ceiling since it was a duplex with an apartment above.

With this I got all levels of shittiness.

Got the first rain in a couple of weeks last night and this morning.
Cloud has now burned off and the temp is starting back up, but it will only be a heat index of 91 today, much better than the 102-108 it has been for the last week. ....and who says Canukistan is a frozen wasteland.
(we have been running a daily high of 31-33 with a humidex of 40-42)

 

[jonKranked]

Trampoline assembled. Now I guess I should make a tramp bike.

Got absolutely DUMPED on with rain on the chairlift at horseshoe.

Temps sure are cooler now.

 

[StiHacka]

Trampoline assembled. Now I guess I should find a new home insurance quote.

FTFY

 

[rideit]

99 degrees in SLC, and thats all I can take. At least there is a nice layer of hazy smog.

 

[jstuhlman]

Trampoline assembled. Now I guess I should get a tramp stamp to immortalize my accomplishment

ftfy

i assume it has a net around the outside? our 10yo got motivated this spring and taught himself backflips, frontflips, and both with twists. we signed him up for diving camp next week.

 

[eric strt6]

Stupid hot here
