I flipped my calendar over today so it shows October.
I fertilized and seeded the lawn in preparation of possible rains tomorrow. Also helped one of our city council candidates polish up for the big city debate tomorrow. Also hung some political signs in my front yard, and am even pushing a liberal....you believe that?
Oh, did you folks hear that at our local airport in La Verne, Ca, , we had two fatal airplane crashes in two days, 100 yards apart from each other. That is very suspicious. I wonder if they got a batch of bad fuel?
There's good folks on both sides.
We had a forced audit here about 15 years ago, after money disappeared. Only water dept. was making money. City manager brought in a management company that his father owns to run water. Now they raise rates every year. They pay the company $1.5 million a year to manage it. We still buy all the trucks and other stuff they use on top of that.

I wish people were like Internet videos and you could tap them lightly to see a clock of how much longer they’re going to be talking.

And so the process begins. Carpenter widened the kitchen entrance to 40 inches. 3/4 inch door jamb material will line the opening making it 38.5, wide enough for any appliance.
Baseboard is off except for piece next to fridge. Tomorrow.
Mud work will be done tomorrow.
1/4 inch plywood is downstairs. Expecting that to go down too.
Then prep for paint. And so on...
I live next door to a city council member, nice pro-gun guy. But his yard is a mess. Trash everywhere, has not cut his grass in weeks. Anyone else in town gets tagged if there is any mess at all or if the grass gets over 4 inches tall. They put a big red tag in your yard and give you 10 days to clean it or pay a fine. I did cut his front yard once because I got tired of looking at it.
That almost looks like good old fashioned linoleum. That pattern was around for a long, long time and copied by other manufactures. Does it look to have had wax on it or does it have a natural glossy look to it?

I don't think it has wax. The pattern was listed as Armstrong 5352, which is reported to have a 70% chance of having asbestos. I am assuming either the underside has asbestos or perhaps the glue. Covering it completely with 1/4 inch plywood. Then troweling on leveling compound to make it look smooth for glue down vinyl laminate. Going to cover stuff up for sanding ceiling and walls. I have a manual 9 inch circular sanding tool and a 6 foot pole. There's a dent in ceiling that needs fixed. I'll do that today as well. Hoping to be done with painting by end of next week.
Baseboard did not come out easily. Most of it broke. New baseboard will be here Tuesday along with trim for entry to kitchen. Will stain trim red oak. Varathane looked too dark. Might go back to Minwax because it's lighter. I want the orange look. Will work on that later.

Go to the city meeting and raise a stink. Say I'd like to complain about a neighbor who has a huge messy yard. Can I get someone to go tag the yard for cleaning? AFter they say yes, tell them the address. Then tell them the owner's name, who happens to be sitting there. I'm sure the embarrassment should carry some weight.
Johns full of it. Want's to sell you something.
No they already have access to much of it. Did you know that if you drive a fairly new car, it keeps track of everywhere you go and that info can be downloaded.

Anyone use Paypal? I got screwed by them once years ago and so did Nick's buddy Selva. Are they any better now?
I cancelled my Paypal account. My credit card gives me a discount, so why pay full price?

Use them exclusively for Ebay which I am using less and less of. Never had an issue that I can think of. I do a few dozen transactions a year, nearly all BUYS probably at an average cost of $15-25 total including shipping costs. So its really never been a transaction size that I would sweat over.
My decrease in using Ebay is primarily due to it becoming less and less like a yard sale/swap meet/pawn shop and more and more like a 99centsOnly store or other cheapass discount store featuring plastic crap from China.

found a match for old stain on baseboard and trim. It was Zar Teak. Who uses Teak for stain? No wonder I couldn’t find a match at the big box stores
I use on ebay but that is the only time . Wife does very seldom.
