What did you do today?

But in terms of the long history of the Earth we are actually still in an overarching ice age period - known as the Quaternary glaciation - which has been going for the last 2.6 million years. At the moment, the Earth is just in a slightly warmer period, an interglacial.

There have been at least four other overarching ice ages in the Earth's history, the oldest started about 2,400 million years ago.

The Little Ice Age was a climatic period, lasting from about 1300 to 1750, when worldwide temperatures cooled slightly, leading to extreme weather that, in turn, affected the colonizing ventures of Europeans in America.

The Earth is still warming from that Ice Age

The Earth cooled 0.1 degree, about the same as it has warmed since then.



We're still waiting for the science deniers to explain why this Inter-Glacial Period is colder and has lower sea levels than the previous 8 recorded Inter-Glacial Periods.

I'm still waiting for someone to disprove that global warming begins and CO2 levels leg behind it.

Here's some global warming for ya.
Darn I was going to try and play a video of my drive home tonight. It says that the file is too big. Dang.

Many ways to deal with bullnose corners. I like that look. I don’t think a 3 piece corner has a very rustic look to it so that’s a good fit. It just chaps me when the bullnose corner goes all the way to the floor and they do a 2 piece 90 for the corners.

I have never seen this before but I too kind of like it. I think maybe they could have gone a tiny bit higher than they did. What makes it look bad is a humongous amount of spraying on the sheetrock. It would be interesting to see this with a smooth trowel finish for a very light spray job. The place where it would look good if it was taller is the transition walls going from the kitchen/living room into the hallway. I bet if this effect was 6 in tall it would act a little bit like a pillar visually.
Something different thought I'd pass it on.
What would be neat if someone prefabbed that angled top so it could be attached to the round corner piece. I think these were formed, starting with the standard 90° corner metal and then somehow beveled into the round. I'll have to check it with my magnet......
....Columbo mode tomorrow.

Those corners are sold like that. I suppose you could buy taller ones or even hold them up a bit. Kinda depends on what the builder and customer choose. Rounded corners are damn near standard in Phoenix and were fairly common in the PNW on newer houses. An upgrade I’m sure. In the Carolinas I did a job for a guy from California and he wanted rounded corners and his sheetrocker had never seen them before. some are metal but now there is a lot of plastic bullnose corners. Different strokes for different budgets and tastes I guess. My job today had 2 1/2 sanitary wood base with rounded corner pieces and I put shoe up to cover the expansion space. Looked dumb but I made my coin so whatever.

Got another chair for my room, two types I was considering I got at Habitat. The tan for 60, black for 200$, not exactly what I wanted but May stumble upon the man chair one day.

 

[highup]

I'm heading to Habitat ReStore right now. Never know what fun tools are going to have. I got my current computer chair at Goodwill for like 15 bucks. It's getting less comfortable as time goes on. That white one looks comfy.

Looks like it’s seen a fart or three.

Trying to finish cleaning my shop.Don't know why, I have nothing to build out there. Repaired furniture at one time, but have not had any for a couple years. Wood is too high to build anything. I do have one rocking chair that I made that is almost done. It has been sitting there for a couple years

Teeny tiny walk-in closet. It has the trapdoor to get underneath the house. I told the owner it might be best to use a thin felt pad and just loose lay this little closet. The base was being installed on top and it would be a piece of cake to remove this little room if you ever needed to get under the house.
She said no, she wants to trapdoor exposed. I said this thin patterned carpet is going to look like crap doing it that way.
She said "it's my husband's closet" and he doesn't care.
Turned out better than I thought. I did get the lines in the pattern to line up. The trap/hatch door is done with a single piece of 3/4 inch plywood and it's a tiny bit buckled on the far side so it sticks up a little bit more.

 

[Mark Brown]

Well you weren't wrong.
I appreciate what went into it AND I can appreciate it looks as good as it can but yup, still looks like crap lol.

Especially that close to the door, should have just laid over it. Silly people.

The room is like six by six and a half feet. I could have folded the edge under with hot glue then stuck the doorway edge down to the floor with a strip of velcro..... Or a couple dozen 5/8 in wire nails that would pull back out if they really needed to get it totally out of there.
I turned the light out to get some harsh side lighting to make it has ugly as I could. I hope you appreciate my effort in doing that.
Looks less crappy with the light on.
I suppose we could always put some 2-in gold flat bar on it.

 

[Mark Brown]

They just always look crappy.
I hate them so much because I try so hard and well.... I dont have to tell you

The adjustable handle came in handy on this National Flooring Equipment 6280HD. From being in a tight hallway to running the machine under tv/cable/power/internet wired held up.

 

[MikeAntonetti]

Cause of this ******** is why everything’s going battery. At least 4 pieces of my outdoor equipment have deteriorated fuel line systems.

 

[havasu]

It is the ethanol that kills power equipment. I run pure, unadulterated gas on items I want to keep around.

 

[Don Monfils]

My fuel string trimmer is still going strong …third year I’ve had it

 

[MikeAntonetti]

Yes Don, we all know you have a battery Milwaukee(me too but not attachments) good to hear.

Havasa you’re saying the ethanol is deteriorating fuel lines, there’s like 4 on each piece of equipment. I have had a craftsman rubber hose(water mind you) for 25 years going strong. Something just ain’t right, I assumed it was cheap economy filler grade lines.

I know ethanol gums up in carburetors.

 

[C.J.]

Biodiesel would eat away at the fuel lines in my old diesel box van so I never ran it. I run the trufuel through my 2 stroke weed eater. No ethanol.
