TEWKS Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 So, I really can’t teach her the ins & outs of basketball (throw it and get it in the hoop) but I’ve got years of experience pressure washing dirty dirt bikes. Just passing on the knowledge. I had to drive to historic Concord Ma. to claim it but, how’s FREE sound? 2 1 Link to comment

I gotta use scaffolding here, can't get the kitchen rack to fit and stacking paint cans under ladders is difficult too Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Looks like you could rig up some danger and cut that big limb (in the left of the photo) if the scaffolding isn’t exciting enough. Getting comfortable with the saw (as in too) and had a cut log smash against my shin yesterday. Time to slow it down a bit. Link to comment

Getting comfortable with the saw (as in too) and had a cut log smash against my shin yesterday. Time to slow it down a bit. Ya, we kinda want that limb cut out. Oak is mighty old and that limb gives a bit too much weight toward the house. 'Tis too high for me to handle it (same height as when I put the ladder on the roof of the truck), so gonna have to hire some local rednecks to do the job. My daughter's place has these damn willow oaks that keep drooping branches (ugh), they're low enough that I'll probably put the ladder in the bucket of the tractor and whack some down. Some branches, gotta reach overhead with one hand holding the chainsaw,......always fun doing that 'specially at the top of a ladder. 1 Link to comment

While the gun she's holding is "ours", years ago, I come home to her doing a project and she's got a complete nail gun set that she went out and purchased. At our previous house, one of our neighbors saw me using one of her nail guns. He asks if he can borrow my nail gun for a project,....I says "you gotta as the wife, it's her nail guns". He was shocked,.....a sorta older fellow that doesn't much expect a woman to work with tools..........I couldn't have a woman that didn't know her way around a table saw. Anyway, she's much gooder at the measuring than I am.........if she's got her readers on 2 Link to comment
Darbarian Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Everybody is better than I am with tape measures. It does not seem to matter which brand I buy, they are all made of elastic, and the measurements change from initial reading to the cut piece installation. 1 Link to comment

Skywagon Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Roug...looking good. Thats a heck of a project you and the Mrs doing. I kind of like that Gatlin nailgun she has. Suspect you better not make her mad while it's loaded. 1 Link to comment
Rougarou Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Well, there's her steel tape and there's my steel tape Quote Roug...looking good. Thats a heck of a project you and the Mrs doing. I kind of like that Gatlin nailgun she has. Suspect you better not make her mad while it's loaded. Ya, the gun is set to just hold the trigger and hit the siding to shoot one out........it'll likely be for sale in the near future We started last year, and it's getting to the end. We either need to find someone to do the last part due to the height or find some additional scaffolding. From an initial estimate on just a portion of the house, it looks like we're saving 'bout 12-16k in labor. We're also updating the windows to more energy efficient ones and foaming in plenty of gaps. I gotta come to work to actually relax!! Link to comment
