Anyone that operates a Jack Hammer for a living deserves, at a minimum, $100.00 an hour... three hours manhandling that thing... and I can’t move... 25 year old mind... 75 year old bodyBeen working on the new workshop, needed to run a 100 amp sub panel off the primary panel at the house.
Ooh, I like that. Doesn't match the aesthetic anywhere in my house, and I wish the knob had been integrated somehow, but that is a really cool idea. I could see building something like that to sell on Craigslist.I have seen old paneled doors made into interesting corner shelves.
Been fighting my iron level being to high making me tired all the time. The only thing they can do is draw a pint of blood every two weeks and hope that my level comes back to normal. Started skim coating the ceiling and walls in the living room back in November and all I've gotten done is half of it . If I can't get back in the swing of things I think my wife might hurt me. Any tips on getting back into a renovation when lost all of your gumption.
I am thinking of adding a single stage whole house sediment filter, what filter housing do you recommend. I can install it after the supply lines to two sill cocks tee off the main line.Ok, so you are going to do whole house PEX? Might as well, if you're doing some. Now is the perfect time to put in a 3 stage whole house water filter that takes 2.5" x 10" standard sediment and carbon filters, if you don't have a system like that. If you do that, buy your replacement filters on Ebay or Amazon in 25 or 50 pc. lots because they are $ compared to Lowe's or Home Depot at $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Carbon filters are a little over $2 each on Ebay, Sediment are a little over $1 on Amazon. The last price I remember at Lowe's was $11 each.
I like the Lowe's Military discount, but it's useless for tons of stuff that is much cheaper elsewhere. They get their money back by raising prices here. Lumber last year was insane, with 2x boards almost 3 times as expensive as 2019.
Got both sets of shelves done this weekend. Learned that those screws that drill their own pilot holes, if you try and use them on bamboo, the bamboo usually splits. Still strong I'm sure, but by the time I drilled the second screw into the second shelving unit I'd learned to drill pilot pilot holes in the bamboo first.

Also my buddy came over and cut my stump into a couple slabs for me; the big plan is to build my own guitar. Whichever slab I don't use will become a small table.

Those shelves are marvelous. Ah, one day buying wood once again won't require a loan and a cosigner.Nothing like getting stuff stowed away. I built 9 of these beasts when wood wasn't Gold and STILL need a storage unit for all my other CRAP. That's my April resolution, to get rid of everything that isn't a tool or accessory.
I don't know anything about Guitars, but those slices would make great table tops. You could probably slice both in half again?

One slice will definitely be a table top. The guitar needs to be about 1.5" thick, so whichever slab becomes the guitar will simply be planed to the appropriate thickness.
How would I slice the other one in half again? My buddy did those free-hand (see photo above)...maybe build a jig and do it horizontally?
