Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Getting that stove mighty nice. That wind is roaring! I sold a pair of skylights mid-morning. The buyer needed flashing made and I agreed to make it for extra money. But I wanted to wait for the buyer to actually show up. First reason was make sure he showed up and second was I wanted to make sure we both were thinking the same since he still had to frame for it.
He showed up and once I was ready to make up the flashing kits he paid me and said, "I'll be in my car" It was a cold sumbugger out there!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
His Timberline sounds like a good shop stove. I'm sure appreciating my renewable heat source on this blustery cold night. It's not a green energy source, it's seasoned

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Tore out a fence panel and gate post, and set a new post. Well, the son did, and I helped. I was just the gopher, but my back hurts anyway. The old fence panel and gate were cedar fence pickets, rotted out after 20 years. The nerve. New gate and panel are welded angle iron frames with 2X6 con heart redwood. They'll last until long after I'm dead! Still waiting for the to concrete to kick. I'll get a pic when the fence panel and gate are installed.

Fast forward to 2021 and I went to a yard sale a couple of miles from that town and this lady had an old Birmingham stove. As I stared at it, she told me that for the last 20 yrs, it was a brooding vessel for her chickens. And, it used to be in E B Thompsons grocery and her Dad left it to her. I had to buy it. I restored it and will eventually use it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I always said when I get old I'm going to be one of the old guys sitting around the general store potbelly telling stories. I'm getting there, but I'm not sure how Dollar General will feel about it
I like that parlor stove. I had one similar in my bedroom when I rented a farmhouse with no heat. I like the end-loaders. Just slide the sticks on in. That's how my stove is

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to the DMV. One of the perks of living in a small town is that I was the only customer there. I guess I did do a little to my 70 CST. I finally registered it. Cost a lot because I told the truth of what I paid for it. But I also got my disabled plates. So it's official now. I am officially disabled in the eyes of the state of California. Maybe they'll give me a break on my taxes now. Probably not. More like definitely not. But I do get the good parking spots now.
I took my walker because I have trouble in that parking lot and knew I'd be standing a while. I got the paperwork going on the green Bug and the Jag. I had the wrong papers. Funny how nice people are to you when you have a walker. I had a lady open the door for me. I should have tried this one years ago before I got jacked up. People treat you nice. The camber on my truck looks funny in the pic. But I just checked it and it's fine. Just a trick of the light.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I have one like your second picture I used in my shop in a barn. A pole building with corrugated tin on the roof and walls. I spanned pipe between the walls and laid blue plastic tarp across at about 8' high. That antique stove might not have been efficient, but I could work on a cold winter day in there wearing just a t-shirt. Not a stitch of insulation in there and daylight shining through gaps and nail holes, and a concrete slab.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah Tim
them stoves are highly sought after,, forget what I got out of mine ,,it did leak smoke out the cracks it got from getting red hot from previous owners ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, here is another stove I put in my house along with building the alcove that went out from my living room wall into my garage for the stove safe place to be incased with concrete below ,on the sides and top . Now to keep this thread to what it is meant for ,, the other day I rolled my infared 220 volt hearter out and worked on my snow blower carberator.. great heat if you dont want to heat the whole garage up when the job you are doing is only couple hours

That looks great, Larry! What really got my attention was the misery whip, great piece of wall art.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That is a great looking stove Larry. My wife keeps nagging me to put a better looking one in but the one we have works just fine. Hey if it aint broke. If she starts talking about it I turn on my "selective' hearing. I don't hear her.
Today I paid my homeowners insurance on the new place that I haven't even moved into yet. Insurance companies do not like you if you live in a fire and flood zone. They didn't like me $3,387.00 worth of not liking me. Nope. Not a cheap date. If I could cuss on here I'd say something that rhymes with duck.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
He said he's got a truck to cut up . I knew what you meant. It's justa letter.
I cut away some of the gutter left behind grown into the tree. Since the tree was against the building (and then some) leaf debris built up and it became a place for roots to sprout out of the middle of the tree. Never seen anything like it. Here is a section of gutter with corresponding section of root system. I literally peeled it out of the gutter

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That part of the gutter remaining will have to get swallowed up and barked over. All that above it is a combination of building and mini roots. The roof was cedar shake so it's all integrated now, along with the fascia board and even fiberglass insulation. I'm going to hack away at all that.
I built that barn in the late-'80s. The tree grew into it so I moved the building. Behind the building is about 5' to the back fence with steps going upstairs. I never see back there except when I need to get something from upstairs or from under the 4 x 8 deck/porch I closed in. I never completed a lot of the work, out of sight/out of mind. Over time I did some stuff in spurts. Like building the steps and deck, then closing that in. I framed for windows, installed, and trimmed. But the soffit and fascia still were undone. I came across the remaining poplar boards while moving things around, so I used them up on that uncompleted work. Also finally put batten strips up so the lean-to side will be tighter/drier. It feels good to get it done for the sake of having it done. Other than that, it's still a thing no one really sees

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got started back into woodworking. We moved, about 3 ears ago, from CA to ID. The movers we hired SUCKED!!!!! We had so many damaged items, it was ridiculous. Anyway, my tablesaw was one of those that suffered. I finally got around to truing up the blade, so that it was parallel to the grooves in the cast iron top. Once done, I started building my work bench.
If you are interested in what moving company it was, Move Central. Don't EVER use them. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Second load . This has some ash that was in the way getting to the maple . It was standing dead so the owner asked if I could cut it down . Was an easy takedown as it had no top was just the leader . Very dry already so I’ll burn it on the warmer days save the oak and hickory for when it gets cold if it ever does this winter
The maple a tree guy cut they had to climb and rope it down
