    we're putting a large wash basin in the garage this fall, once the floors are done later this month. They are very handy, I'll have a hot/cold mixer valve on that and the hose connection I'm Puttin in the garage as well......

    Good move. A sink in the garage is underrated. Keep the mess where it belongs.

    Another fine job Scotty and yes a slop sink is a must. I had plumbed for one about 10 years ago and then finally installed about 3 years ago. In the laundry room which is the first room in from the garage.

    The veg oil or mayo for cleanup are a great tip. Have used paint thinner in the past (works well) then the rags go into the brush pile for a firestarter. Thinner leaves the skin all dry and cracked though. Will use Wesson next time most certainly.
    Oh, and good job Scotty! -- 52 CORDS !?!? OMG. !!!

    @Gark more like 42......lol. Crazy because I never thought I'd be that far ahead. I'll do an official count as soon as I get it stacked. What's REALLY bad is I have another huge oak scheduled to come down in a week or so and have to go check out a job tomorrow that has THREE large oaks.....and i keep all the oak!! I'm going NUTZ!! :loco: :crazy:

    You have all winter to recover! And just think of all the assets you have. Sell some about Feb and get a few extra bucks for your summer sweat. :tree::axe::handshake:
