So Anyway...

Price of wood here 2x4 last year was $4.05 per board this year $8.32, very happy we built our deck on our summer home last year, prices gone up due to covid, high demand and lumber shortages.View attachment 63179View attachment 63183

Looking great there !!

Have my order ready to place.. am shocked !! It is double what it has been for years. Tried to figure alternatives..looked at my scrap.. no choice but to pay the piper !

Have 5 sheets of 3/4 tongue & groove plywood for interior floors in my wood stash, it's worth gold prices now !! lol

Thankyou sir!! Yes the wood has just skyrocketed . Prices have been going up on pretty much everything. Good luck on your floors, stay safe on getting them done..

So anyway, the new work car on the way home was able to shift into 5th gear at 105 mph .... got there real fast !!

 

[eSGEe]

yep-- I am (finally it was damaged in Hurricane Irma) replacing my front porch --- since Thursday when I walked up the "temp" stairs they COLLAPESED under me ...... (nails rot fast in these parts)

SO ---- what woulda been 300.00 worth of wood a year ago is now 550.00 worth
and a "fun" weekend project.

 

[eSGEe]

Also several of the items I actually wanted were un available at the Home Depot -- supply lines are getting "stretched" I was told........
so some of these items are "redneck engineered approved" BUWAHAHAHAHA

 

[eSGEe]

Was making decent advancements old out ground leveled water pipe spliced and relocated----- basic supports and frame in place.....--- then WHAMO--a HUGE STORM blew up ---- now all my poop will be WET tomorrow --- FVCK

So anyway, I could go out and put new pads and rotors on the Celica. Or... I can play guitar and hang with Boo. Guess I'll be driving the truck a couple more days!

I did get another String Swing Friday and made a home for the new SG that won't arrive for another 10+ weeks.

So anyways,, next chapter of life begins. First band practice Saturday.

TBI & a hit & run was the most severe challenge ever... stewing for 5 years as everything around me collapsed.. part of me feels like settling it properly with the perp ,,my cancel culture.. since justice is totally gone ..

new idea.. palletts..going to use free pallets to build out back.

So anyway... The previous two days were spent prepping for and getting a routine colonoscopy. I know it's only temporary, but for right now I'm not so full of schit anymore...

Brave man. I went with the Cologuard, as flawed as it may be.

I guess it's better than doing nothing. In my case, I need the full royal treatment. In 2003, at the age of only 45, a cancerous tumor was discovered in my colon. With a very successful surgery and no need for chemo or radiation, I was very fortunate. Got to get checked up like this every three years...

I’ve had 3. The first time it was this small bottle of Fleet stuff. Boy did that clean out the pipes. The last one, a few years ago I had to drink a gallon of what tasted like salt water in like a half hour. I couldn’t get it all down, yuk. Hope they have something better next time.

My mon had colon cancer. I’m on the 5 year plan. After the second one the Doc asked it I wanted to see the video; I passed

I’ve had 3.

This was my 7th!

Hope they have something better next time.

These days it's like two 32oz bottles of Gatorade mixed with a whole bottle of Miralax. Much better on the pallete...

I'm awake for the whole show with a TV monitor to enjoy Mr Toad's wild ride. I actually watched two polyps getting removed! Quite intewesting...

I was told this morning that wood is like gold, because I used 5 stringers on a 4’ wide set of stairs, which equals 12” on center for a commercial project, not someone’s residence.
I was told that I should have gone 16” on center, boy am I dumb,,, I have never built a set of stairs at 16” on center, and the plans are not up to speed, because Thayer would typically say 5-6 stringers equally spaced, to what ever your width may be..
Cheers

Be careful there BFT. Those rear windows pop out of Cherokee tailgates really easy...
