Mom, thanks for the advice. Yeah been a little blue lately (no pun intended with my name). I've been having alot of stress with work and money lately. Been making the best of the situation and hopeing for the best.

Evening DTR, had the truck hand washed at a car wash near me... had a coupon for a free one. Came home, detailed it and cleaned the interior out. It look pretty good. Mowed after I got done with the truck and now I'm enjoying some cold beer. Gotta find something to make for dinner, just me eating tonight, the gf is out for a friends 21st bday.

Got a couple coats of paint on my model locomotive projects. I might get to lettering tonight and weathering them sunday.

 

watching battlefield 360 trying to stay awake...
No, the show isn't that boring, just got up at 0600 to drive across Houston to Kingwood for a couple hour visit to a vendor and then 8 hours to home...

 

Evening all.. Long Island in hand tonight Ready to lay tile in the bathroom tomorrow. Finally came in!! (Its only been a little over 2 months)

 

Wow, you're actually going to work???

Time for bed for me, anyone want to watch?

chaikwa.

 

if you got a sub floor, you might as well check it while your there.. I had to replace the subfloor in both my bathrooms. One, the outside freeze proof faucet developed a leak on top so it sprayed water against the subfloor when the faucet was used, the other was from the shower I guess. under the tub was solid, but just outside was bad.

Have fun at it.

 

YA GOT ALL THE TOOLS LINED UP ?
WET SAW
PROFILE TOOL
GLUE
MUD
KNEE PADS
LOTS OF BEER

 

You forgot the most important tool in Cincy's case... EMPLOYEES!

chaikwa.

 

Seen Studebaker Lark Wagoner Tonight Think It Was 1962 Or 63
Don`t Know Where Its Been Stored But It Was Like New

 

Evening all. Grilled ham and cheese for dinner. Beer later. Watching the Stanley Cup, Go Penguins.

 

Got the sub floor taken care of.. I hate these new homes with this garbage 3/4 OSB instead of the good ol' 3/4 TG CDX. Had to lay down 1/4 luan on top before I could even install the crete board.

Had the wet saw for years. Used to lay tile on the side when I was younger. We'll see how the knees hold up. No beer on this job, gotta lay a pretty tough pattern. (Diagonal with 12's and 3" medalions)

Chaikwa, work is one thing I'm not affraid of.. I out-work people for fun. Do it frequently to the new guys who think I'm just the son of the boss. The guys that have been there for awhile know better than to challenge me to a hard days work.
