Cleaned out the ole garage. I say garage but it's more like a 3-walled carport (It had the old timey sliding doors that have been long gone). It was full of the previous owners junk still and leaves accumulated in the back corners. Took a little over 3 hrs.
What have you done to your house today

I like it LOW
scored a great deal on no climb fencing on craigslist. This is about half of what I need to re-fence the 3 paddocks behind/to the sides of the house. 4 rolls of 330ft each, 1320 feet, too bad i'm not fencing the right kind of 1320
I'm replacing mostly existing field fence, a few small sections of 5 strand. So luckily I won't have to set many poles, just replace the rotten ones.
Doesn't include fence needed for front pasture, which is about 12 acres.
Blowing out the sprinkler system today, time to put her to sleep for winter. Still have a lot of leaves to pick up.

Didn't run a background check but she's got nice big tits.
Actually she's the wife of a client, I've done his tree work for several years. They also sent me several referral jobs after the hurricane. Today she commented on all the sawdust everywhere. I said I wasn't going to apologize for it and I just looked at it as money on the floor. She laughed and her tits jiggled, which made me smile.

Which one? Chip truck and chipper are paid for, small bucket truck still has a bank note for 3 more years.
I don't think I saw a post about your chipper truck. The small bucket truck was the one I was thinking of. You still getting work from the storm?

Pretty much caught up on storm work. Now just doing regular work with a few extra removals. Bought a small chipper and a 1997 F super duty with a 12' dump bed. Right now I have about $17K in the whole setup.
I had to quit posting pics here after the photobucket mess. Haven't had the desire to set up another photo account elsewhere and s197forum limits the amount of space I can use for uploads. I can leave these here for a while though.

Nice. I went with imgur.com so I could update on here.
Almost got the hard part completed. Our 100 year old complete ground up restoration. Dining room is done, living room and foyer to go. I am happy now that I didn't install the 1-1/2 wide white oak that was there. Labor of love.

Yes' pre planned layout for even spacing and tighter joints.

So are you gonna be face-screwing the last piece(s) in the middle of the room?
I like the design, just thought that the last pieces to get installed should always be against a wall, to better hide the face-screwing or -nailing that had to be done

I'm guessing maybe a pin nailer shooting 23 gauge pins? You'd never see them.
Kept the grove on the finally piece, scribe it fit it, glued it, shot it with 16g fine point nailer. Once filled with epoxy filler, wire brushed, fumed with light stain you will never find them. A pin nailer would not have enough bite to hold it. I only use it for tacking my corners on crown.
Here's what I pulled up. It was all hand nailed with face nailed corners

Cool, awesome!
And yeah, what happened to the old stuff? Water leak? Holy crap it looks bad, at least when compared to the nice new stuff going in ...
Thanks, saved all the old stuff to sell it. 1-1/2 by 3/8 oak rift & quartered salvaged is very hard to come by which is part of why I pulled it. Stacked it all by length nail free in the shop to sell later. 90% of it was in great shape but all the patching needed from the remodel in the 40's and really only good sanding left in it. The finish on it must have been the original. Worked my ass off during the our remodel/gut and start over to save that damn floor until this past spring when I said the hell with it. Almost put 1-1/2 x 3/4 but over double the cost the wife chose 3 inch. Been a long project and nearing the home stretch.

I copied some Pinterest ideas for re-using old pallets today.
Used 2 pallets to organize the yard tools:
I cut up 3 other pallets and re-used 2 of them as tables and 1 as a wall in-between the tables, with various hooks installed all over:
I now have way more storage space available in there than I ever did, much better organized, even with the snow blower and the lawn mower in there:

Made an offer that was accepted on another house. More space. Best part is a NICE garage. Wired for 220, has heat and a drain in the floor. And I counted 30 electrical outlets. Enormous workbench built in too.
Will close in mid December, move and get ours ready to sell. Should net about 30k on the sale of ours and will roll most of that back into the new one. We will set some aside for future needs like HVAC or roof when those need replacing.
Bottom line: a bigger house, nicer garage, quieter neighborhood and almost identical house payment.
Now the bad part: It is about 10 miles further from my work (although commute time difference is within 3 minutes.)

Made one last sweep of the yard for leaves then power washed the rider and put her in the back of the shed. Still have to do oil change and get the battery cleaned up and topped off with distilled water.
