No I wouldn't.
I'm not all that into travel and if I went someplace that wouldn't be it.

Jon, the job is coming out wonderfully. It would be much easier if we had an abundance of carpet. The size of the pieces that we have to work with and the 18 inch pattern match makes my measuring ridiculously difficult. Aisle number two has three pieces. Is 6x7 piece at the top, then a 39 inch by 16-ft piece, and lastly a 42 inch by 9-ft piece which will be at an angle because of the positioning of the seating as it curves down near the stage.highup the job is looking good to me

Some of these pieces were cut to size before I started this job. I don't know if these pieces were intended to fit where I put them or if they were just scraps off of another part of the job. I can't explain why these pieces are so difficult. It simply because the pieces were not large enough to allow me to shift them right or left more than a quarter of an inch.
Anyway it's going to turn out perfect, or close enough to perfect.
We have all the reducer installed on aisle number 2 and the first section of carpet glued and the same edges between the first and second piece are trimmed. Monday we can put that seam together and while the adhesive tacks up for 45 minutes, we can cut the last piece that needs to be angled and get that ready. We should finish up the aisle on Monday.
We work last weekend and I don't feel like working this weekend.
The theater has, if I have to guess, about 200 seats in the main part of the auditorium. Probably a third more in the balcony. This theater started a major renovation probably 10 years ago. They are trying to keep it as historically accurate as they can.
They removed all of the seats in the entire theater and had a company remake them. That means the entire seat sections are totally brand new. To make the seats look like they did before, the powder coated the cast iron in plates on the end of each aisle.
Each of these seats cost about $250 and every single one of them was purchased by a local donor. I'm not talking that they were all purchased by one person. Every single seat was purchased by someone in the community. And appreciation, each arm rest has a engraved brass name plate with the name of the person that purchased the seat for the theater. Pretty cool.

I would build it using a helicopter. I'd to start on one side and fly to the other side with a length of rope and then fly back to the first side. I would do that dozens and dozens of times until the rope would become thick enough to walk on. The workers could use that to start building the bridge.
Then I would go home for a year and hike around on trails and roll over dead logs and go to the beach.
Then I would return to see the bridge all finished. That's how I would go about building the bridge. Hey, I did my part.

Yesterday I shoveled 2 cubic yards of topsoil in 4 hours. Guess that means I don’t have any heart problems!
You should have gone to Home Depot and purchased a sheet of plywood. Now that is a real "ticker tester!"
$75 for a sheet of 3/4” sanded face plywood down here.
thats what I pay for 1/2 inch cdx
it makes my heart sad

I hear it is $125 in some areas.
I made this miter saw station for my 7.25” slider out of left over material I had laying around. At first I thought it was big n clunky but I find it’s my go to cut station now unless I have to break out my big saw for either capacity or accuracy.
I’ve been wanting to make one for one of my 12” sliders but I just can’t bring myself to pay for the plywood.

Only you my friend would round out a saw hole lol.
You could have made an effective version out of half the plywood though dont you think?
You going to put a back plate on it?

You know me, I’ve got my saw hood if necessary. That thing is awesome when we’re cutting a lot of MDF. I can hook my dust collector up to it and cycle it on n off with a foot peddle. Helps to cut down on the ol booger production.
Sometimes buddy i think you spend more time dinking around on things for wood working than you do working with wood
I love that you stained it too lol
....table saw must still be set up in the kitchen?

There’s only so much sitting around that I can do. I had the day off, waiting for materials to be delivered, so I decided to make something.
Weather was nicer when I made this one so I didn’t have to finish it in the house.

Do they actually sell hoods for saws like that? Looks like part of the top of a stroller or baby carriage. LOL.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping and picked up a lot of stuff. More meat and veggies, some frozen meals for mom, bread, etc. My brother made some sort of meat concoction with spinach and curry. Apparently curry does not agree with my stomach though. It did not go through me in a good way. Was sick all day curled in fetal position with tummy ache and trying not to vomit. I managed to get one of my cats to curl up on my abdomen like a heating pad with pressure so it helped. He even tolerated me rolling over a little and he still stayed right where I needed him to be. Dog came and licked my face to comfort me. I still feel a bit bleh, but stomach isn't hurting and I'm only very mildly nauseous now.
Friend sent me a pic of the 1st kitten his tortie cat just had. Another tortie that looks like her mother. If we didn't have so many cats already I'd be tempted to adopt. Torties tend to be the sweetest cats. When I'm feeling better I'll have to go see the mama cat and her babies.
