    Thanks!

    We're very happy with the results. We hated that linoleum.
    Yes plenty of cut outs. Also a lot of work. I pulled the fridge out, then back in after I put the flooring there. There were plenty of cut lines. I lifted the front of the cook stove up, and put the LVP under the lip.

    They will do emergency surgeries without consent (unable to give consent). When it is you are going to die without, or there is a chance you could die during surgery, the law protects them. You will have a harder time having them honor a DNR in such a circumstance.

    Put toothpaste on, brushed my teeth, and bam, it was after 3. On the day and at the time the clocks roll forward

    That is funny :D

    However, if my teeth dropped, there would be a major issue since my natural teeth are still firmly attached to my jaws.

    The clocks change from 2 am to 3 am when they go forward (all my clocks are automatic). I got up at 1:58 am - the math should be easy unless the time change addled everyone's minds:rofl: :lol:

    They call it "spring birch". I don't think that's a correct choice of name, but we liked that light grey. It's also got some good textured grip for the pups.

    My wife has me earmarked for the basement renovation, so I'm probably booked out. ;)


    Thank you Dok440, Stephiedoll , and Backwoods Savage on the installation compliments! There's one tiny area that I messed up but I won't redo it because nobody but me will ever notice it. I could fix it, but I'd probably need to buy another box of LVP, which I won't be doing. It was an edge trim that I miscalculated. As I did more, I got better at it.

    Stephiedoll if you knew all of Horkn talents you would not want to waste them on a simple floor install

    That's okay. I'm sure I could find plenty of projects to challenge any pro.

    Thanks brotha!

    My wife says she should clone me so more stuff gets done. Lol

    Speaking of which... I see that at least the last row of my newest stacked shed bay has toppled forward, the only way it can go. I saw it was leaning yesterday, and was intent on my flooring installation so I didn't do anything with it. Well, I looked out in the yard for Timber because she didn't come back to the patio like usual. Well. I see why she's coming back slowly, head down. Either she was the cause of the toppling, even though it was leaning already, or she didn't want to get in trouble. Not a big deal Miss Timbi-J. Now she'll get to hang out watching Papa stack more wood.

    Might be a bit breezy but should be a nice day for outdoor work.

    I just took a call a call from MI. Very thick foreign accent, butchered my first name. Said he was from Homeland Security. I couldn't help but answer with sarcasm in my voice. This is she, what do you want. He hung up on me. I havent had that before.

    Unloaded the trailer of wood from last week at the neighbor's. She texted me saying her friend in town has what she thinks is ash that she'd like to be cut and taken away. I told her I was interested but wanted pictures if possible to know what I'm getting into.

    Well........they just verified your working phone number! :picard:

    If I don't recognize the number, it does not get answered. People can leave a voicemail if needed, then I call them back.

    They'll hear the VM and then they know it is a real number. So that doesn't matter.

    Right? But, it is your choice to leave your full name on the voicemail recording................

    Once the phone makes a connection and rings, they know it's a real number

    I heard yesterday that all of the info centers on newer vehicles gather info and then it is sold to insurance companies for rating our driving habits.

    You know, like onstar?

    Just roll over and give up some more privacy. :mad:
