Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Waited until about 3 in the afternoon, then the temp just shot up to 58*. Must have had something to do with the sun finally breaking thru the clouds and fog. Was nice to have my sleeves pushed up while outside.

Very glad that all the rain we got was just that, rain, and not that white stuff.!

 

That's my favorite too.

 

At least you aren't the poor schmoe working the lines during Christmas!

 

Me too.....some "issues" around the master bath vent fan.

 

Consuming lots of Smoothies , dinner is about to be served then most likely

 

Drinking a bottle of red wine with the princess, just finished having Christmas dinner and no short of Holiday treats. Premium beer later on with a family movie night. Will fire up the furnace tonite as the weather is going to get colder. Come to think of it, it was a green Christmas(a first for me and it was white a couple of days ago) and I seen a few flakes blowing about this morning.

 

Getting ready for the same thing here now we just have to decide between "Prancer " , " The Family Stone " , or " Home For The Holidays "

I'm going to have another Smoothie , then maybe an Irish Coffee or 2

Happy Holidays

 

Nice Pic's Jay Looks like a Great Day with your Family

 

Inside Out is the movie tonight.

I worked essential services the last 10 years, thing of the past. Only had to scramble about the household to make Xmas real this year

 

Me? I'm in at 5:30 am Monday morning.

 

Today I turned this

and this


Into this

and this


Was hoping to get the foundation painted with water barrier masonry paint, but found a hairline crack between two blocks so I need to fix that first. Since all the stores had the nerve to be closed today , won't get that done until tomorrow. Once that dries and I get a couple coats of paint on, I will get rigid foam insulation up - that is the last section that needs insulation. Will replace the sheetrock next spring since that is nasty, crumbling and moldy.

Oh yeah, the new shelves are heavy duty, rated at 1,000 pounds per shelf and 5,000 pounds per unit, and I got them from HD for $90 minus my 5% discount. They are larger than the old shelves (48w x 24d versus 40w x 18d) so I can fit more chit on them .

 

bogieb Maybe I'm wrong, but did you install those new shelves upside down on purpose?

 

I have until Thursday. I can't get into the building at work until Monday morning (someone has to let me in - then come and let me out). I don't have a choice on when I work on the report - only during the work week. Wednesday can't get into the building until 7 am. Thursday is even worse; I need to have 98% of the report done as I won't be able to get in until around noon - which is when the rest of the testing data is supposed to be available from our outside vendor.

No pressure or anything

 

Why yes I did, thank you for asking . The shelves are 4 rails with a separate wire grate for the decking. If I installed the shelves as in the illustration of the assembly instructions, stuff would have slid off the back and sides of the shelves (from cramming too much chit on them ). I chose to install the side and back rails so nothing could slide off, but I want to slide things off/on in the front. And, the bottom shelf rails are all installed so there is no block on any side as the boxes of pellet bags need to be shoved all the way to the wall. Actually I have to thank someone who did a review on the product on the HD website for bringing up the possibility of mixing the way the rails are installed. And yes, I know, that it most likely affects, to a degree, how much weight the shelves can hold - but I assure you that even I am unlikely to try to cram a half a ton of chit on a shelf.

Good question though since it does look a bit odd.
