You still milking that theater carpet, Randy?

Looking good though!

I could probably just drop it in wet anyway. That's what everybody else does.You should be using acrylic type glues
Just drop it in wet
For carpet they want you to let it tack up so that the moisture in the adhesive doesn't immediately get sucked into the backing.I'm not sure if there are any carpet adhesives that don't behave the same way. The downstairs aisle runners were glued to a concrete floor with epoxy on it, so there was zero absorption into the substrate. They don't keep the building 75° either, so we went as long as 45 minutes before setting the material into the adhesive.
We're going to get wrapped up what we need to get wrapped up, tomorrow. The room is done with the exception of four pieces that make up the for field pieces that need to be seamed on.
The adhesive I'm using is power hold 4000. 10 years from now if you try to take it up it will resemble bubble gum.
I've never used or been around anyone that has a paslode nailing gun. Mind me asking how pricey it was? .... And how noisy compared to pneumatic. Also curious if it could be used for self-defense........ You might be able to nail an intruder to the wall till the cops get there.
No not milking it at all. I spent way more time there than I'm billing for. Everybody else in town gives huge donations so they get their name on a porcelain brick in the entryway. I don't need my name in lights so instead of donating I'm just knocking off a bunch of my time. It's still going to be costing about $2,400 to do a large boardroom and two 40 ft runners down below in the aisles.You still milking that theater carpet, Randy?

My brother's been helping me but I'm not adding any time for him being there. In reality, it's expensive to do two aisles and a single room and for me, it's been a mental nightmare because there will be almost no carpet left over at all...... And this has an 18-in match. The pattern is so wild you can actually...... Or even accidentally
mismatch the pattern and you don't notice it up close or from far away.Ask me how I know.
I did some more cleaning, set up mom's coffee maker (ok, it's on the counter wrapped in plastic), broke down some boxes, installed the new phones. Base unit is much smaller than the old one was. Couldn't find just the base unit of the old one to replace it. It's a shame. I wonder if I can sell the extra handsets on marketplace or something. They still work but need a base unit.
Found some stuff on clearance at walmart. Mom kept insisting on finding some sort of UV light bc she claimed she couldn't use her new blood sugar meter until she zapped it with UV first (I think she just didn't want to check her sugar-- can't blame her bc I haven't been checking mine). It was under $5 which made her happy.
Visited my friend and cheered him up. His gf's baby keeps getting fatter. He's so fat he can no longer fit in a toy seat thing designed for 4-yr-olds. He was too big for his car seat that is supposed to be good for up to 2yr olds. I joked that his father is the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. Friend laughed & said "I thought the Ghostbusters got him, but no! He strikes again!" We all went to the store and friend had to look at toy department. There was a Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man toy so we couldn't resist. The baby LOVES it. My brother wrote a sticky note to put on it saying it was his daddy.
Went to Samsclub and picked up more water and groceries. Brother grabbed some apples and spinach. We're going to have liver, spinach, and cucumbers I think.
Currently serving as a seat for my cats. Predicate gets super clingy every time I leave the house so he's clinging to me.

If that's what you're having for dinner...... I'm just going to stick with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Thanks anyway.
I probably should have put this in the joke section.
I watch a channel on YouTube called video leak police. It shows video from dashboard cams personal police cameras during police stops, chases, domestic violence calls etc.
This one is going to win an award in 2021 for one of the funniest things I've ever seen on this channel.
I dedicate this to Havasu and dare him to show me something funnier.

Wonderful day. AC quit on the Chrysler. Parts under the dash broke. Would need a new dash, Transaxle went out on my riding mower. No way I can cut this yard with a push mower. Back yard alone is 40' x 85'. Too old for this crap.
That sucks Rusty. I keep my fingers crossed on my ****
S10 It's my only rig now. My rusty old '77 van is a storage locker for my tools, and the Ford van I replaced it with.......
......is storage for my tools.
If my S10 has any bad issues I'm in deep trouble. The rear brakes are barely starting to make a squeel sounds. I've had the truck for five or so years and I've never done the back brakes. I haven't checked on prices yet but by the time I replace the brake shoes, spring kit and the drums I'm probably going to be over 300 bucks.
I'm a betting man. I'm betting myself $5,000 that I'm not going to win the Powerball tomorrow.
Hope for the time being you can find a used mower around. a lot of people buy new ones because the old one won't start. 95 times out of 100 it's because the carburetor is gunked up a little bit from sitting over the winter. 4% is because of a bad spark plug.
The last 1% that will not start is pure karma. It may be something else but that's my best guess.

If it really requires replacing the entire dash......
Is there a reason why you couldn't just cut a square or round hole in a dash to access the item that need to be replaced.
......jus sayin' ...... If you'd have to replace the dash anyway, what's wrong with making easier access if that's at all possible by hacking you a hole through the dash.

It is a plastic door that has to shut and it is wore out. It is part of the dash, so you can have either heat or cold. Right now it is stuck on heat. My mechanic buddy tells me it will just break off if we move it. Some idiot glued it at some time.
I don't know the vehicle but I know the door you're talking about. On my s10, there's a foam gasket that seals that flap valve thing to allow fresh air or recirculate cab air.
Can you see the actual flapper or is that inside the ducting.

That gun is a pneumatic one. They’re great. $175 at my local tool n fastener shop. Maybe $150 or less if you order it online. I didn’t want to wait so I paid.
The Paslode gas guns that you’re thinking of can be finicky if you don’t oil and clean them on the regular but the pneumatic ones usually just need a couple drops of oil every day and they work great. My buddy has one of the gas framing nailers. It definitely has a pop to it but it’s not too much louder than a regular framing nailer. The big thing is where your head is when you’re firing it. If you’re in a closet or some place confined, they definitely can make your ears ring so wear hearing protection.
My brother forgot the mushrooms in the liver curry with spinach. They've since been added but I haven't eaten it yet. Tasted ok without them but was missing something. Probably will work well in a burrito since its mushy texture.
One of my cats keeps jumping on my keyboard and turning the backlighting off... She's done it twice in the past 2 minutes and I'm about ready to lock her in the pantry until she calms down.
Namir (our youngest male cat) got out because my brother didn't shut the door. I caught him and went to show my brother he was OK (since he'd been worried) but Namir panicked, kicked free, and ran into the closet. He came out and I tried to carry him back out but he panicked again and got free again. He's been hiding in the closet all night. His sister, Temjin, is freaking out because she doesn't know where he is. I took Princess (the dog) in to see her to calm her down a little. She loves Princess so she came up to snuggle her and Princess licked her face and played with her a little.
I'm trying to get motivated to do something but my body is aching and not wanting to cooperate.
That was a crazy police video! The cops probably got in some trouble for those mistakes. Guys who got their vehicles stolen were probably pretty embarrassed. But I have to say, that perp must be good at GTA. I guess he was trying the VR version of it. LOL.
I'm currently trying to figure out what brake pads to get for my truck and whether or not anti-rattle clips (around $3 for 4 of them) are worth getting. I also need an oil change and transmission fluid change. Ugh. Need to schedule some maintenance on it asap.

Everybody’s favorite today... floating floors! Best part is there is a subdivision for another builder a couple blocks over that we work on and that site super came over today and brought us a bucket of beers on ice. Now that’s how you grease the wheels!
Spent a couple hours making mounting brackets for a Kenwood stereo. Whoever put it in there first, just kinda dropped it in a hole in the dash. It would move around, rattle and it was a bear to remove. Now it will slide in and out, easy.
I just finished welding the exhaust for my car from the header to the cat back.
Stock with the engine was 1.5 inch, maybe even 1.25 and now everything from the header back is 2.5 inch. Should help seeing as the engine went from a 92 hp to 185. Tomorrow is test drive day. Last time I did that was last October or so, my "exhaust" was a the cat back I had bought from Yonaka, the stock 1.5 inch cat mounted to a header collector that was way too big and some oversized flex pipe and some clamps. Needless to say that did not work all that well at all so this year...
I have been working on that car for almost 3 years on and off, without a garage and without a bloody clue what i am doing and it is almost done. I think I will actually be able to drive it to work on Monday
Then comes the real fun of transferring the stereo to it. I already have the rear seats and the whole hatch gutted down to the metal, now I just need to start fiberglassing a new enclosure and amp racks. Its gonna be a blend of MDF and fiberglass so we shall see what takes shape but either way it will be fun.

My work van was like that. I never got around to getting the mounting bracket for it and put the sub and speakers and deck in it one night after work. After putting the dash all back together to go to work the next night, the prospect of doing it all over again just to make it pretty did not really appeal to me in the least. To this day I can still just go and pull it out... that is if i can get my hands on it and it has not fallen in too far lol
It just amazed me that someone would put a $300 stereo in this car and if you pushed a button, the stereo would slide back almost out of sight. It was impossible to set it. I could have bought brackets, but I would rather make stuff. Randy and I both do that all the time.
