What did you do today?

[highup]

Paid my grandson to cut the other yard.
He cuts it for $20. I have to load my mower on a trailer, hook up the trailer, drive across town, unload the mower, cut the grass, put the mower back on the trailer, drive back home, unload the mower and unhook the trailer. Giving him $20 just makes sense,

Even though you put in a lot of the work, he doesn't necessarily need to know that. He just needs to learn if you work you earn money.

Probably will only take him 1/2 hour.

2 hours if he had a cell phone.

Don, the ups charges would have been $15 or so because I couldn't wait for it to be shipped with other supplies. The trowel price was probably close to dealer cost I'm assuming, through my carpet one dealer. I saw them online for rediculous prices.

The reason I ask I can never find that particular trowel size. I asked the carpet one store that I do work for if they could bring some in and just sell them to the customer along with the adhesive since it’s a hard to find size and he said they are $40 . That didn’t seem right

I recall, or maybe not having a Powerhold trowel with those notches. Looking online I saw them for well over $30. She was going to get me one I believe at her cost. It didn't show up the day it was supposed to....... the day I needed it. I went home and accidently found my Armstrong trowel.
After the trowel didn't show up and I found my old trowel, I mentioned to her that I found mine. She said she'd put that new trowel with supplies so I don't have to buy it. UPS shipping raised the cost to almost $36. They are really nice trowels. Almost impossible to ruin one and it's easy to re-notch. They just have a better feel than other brands.
Pony up the money and you will have one. Mine has lasted for years. Use a super small needle file in a cordless drill to re-notch the small side.

My bar scribe is 18"..... I don't know why they are called 18" because the slot only allows for about 15".
I McGuivered mine into a 22 incher so I could use it on there 16" tiles.
I used a scrap of flat bar, tapered and rounded the end then stuck the extention onto the scribe with hot glue. Worked marvelously.
It will easily come apart with alcohol.

I will have to look at the latest pics in this thread when I get my power back and can use my computer.

Looks great, Randy

 

[highup]

Thanks, it turned out great. Any smaller of a tile and it wouldn't have looked right. The tiles have texture which looks better than smooth and shiney.
The bar will have a raised seating platform for 4 bar stools that he bought from a local bar that closed down 20 years ago. He also has a corner seat from a restaurant that going to be diamond pleated in red and white.

51 and 81 today. Still just as smokey and tiny ash floating about. The wind is supposed to shift normal tomorrow, coming from the West, so that will blow the smoke back where it came from.

He Rusty. Get workin'. I'm sure a grandkid or two needs a toy car.

 

[DarisMulkin]

I just can't imagine the number of hours it took to make that car and the amount of money.

No kidding. You certainly could not make them to sell and get what they are worth. Toughest thing I have made was a rocking dinosaur.
