What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Smoke from Canadian fires!

 

We laid laminate flooring on the basement floor. Used the recommended underlayment and yes, the flooring was rated for below grade. The basement does not leak nor does it weep or gain wet spots at all.

I made sure to add an expansion joint. However, the high humidity will case the flooring to expand and ever so slightly, that expansion joint will close up eventually. Unless the de-humidifier does its magic!

 

We've had that before and I know what it's like, but that isn't it right now.

 

Bye bye chair

 

Leaving those out in the weather and or sun sure can do a number on them!

 

Humidity level was lower yesterday.

Got a couple of dying ash trees dropped and bucked up. Actually was still too hot for that type of work. I grounded 3 chains during this event!

Spoke with a neighbor afterwards and he said he took a atv ride and saw me cutting and thought "I should ask if he needs help". Smart neighbor.....kept going for his ride!

Brush pile is growing and plans to burn it will have to materialize maybe this fall.

 

Picked up 3 pallets of wood from the sawmill this morning. Mostly oak and HEAVY. More weight than my truck and trailer could safely handle....but I kept it under 40MPH and made it home alive and didn't wad up the truck. I didn't realize how bad it was until I was past the point of no return.

 

Saturday morning I had a lot of Thanksgiving dinners in my yard. Notice the ponding?

 

So can dad's girlfriend

 

We got our first rain in 15 days this morning. Not a nice gentle shower. We had a torrential downpour. More expected around lunch time today

 

Did the first oil change on the Harley yesterday. I've now seen the ultimate level of cheapness. The engine and transmission drain plugs are 1/2 turn plastic garbage. For some reason the primary still uses a metal plug that you need a socket to remove.

 

Safe travels my friends!

 

That’s a lot of gobblers running together. Don’t see that very much around here.

 

We have those self propelled Thanksgiving dinners all over around here now...seen a flock of 21 at work a while back...there were 4 females along the creek this morning, I drove right past them and didn't even notice that they weren't Canadian geese, when I came back by a bit later I noticed what they actually were...just not used to seeing them along the creek like that.

 

Turkeys have pretty much become a nuisance here. They will do damage to your vehicle if it’s a color that they can see their reflection in. We can only kill 2 a year legally.
