What did you do today?

[highup]

Don't forget they do make small vice grips. Large ones are for steering wheel replacements and small ones are for door knobs.

 

[DarisMulkin]

So you do a 40 ft chain with 12 ft of strap. When the strap breaks, the rubber band affect is much much smaller.

With that long a chain we would be into the next sub.

He could find nothing new. Says blood loss is probably due to my bad kidneys.

Highup, if I'd been awake enough I might have considered messing with it. I was fighting to keep the cats out of the room and mom's jacket was hanging on the door & kept swinging in the way. I eventually threw the jacket on the floor.

Rusty, that doesn't sound good.

Have they actually done any tests or is it just guessing? I don't know how many doctors you've been to but I would think there would be some tests that would be more definitive. That really sucks.

Versions of that this video is a lot more funny if you know
Crap, this guy is and watch his stuff. He's had this young kid in another video and I guess he's making a cameo appearance. He's got a fantastic relationship with not just this kid but his dad...... I mean for his dad to trust him to hang out with his kid for a day.

Crap I don't know what's up with YouTube.
Type in or copy and paste the following:

If that doesn't work include the words, whistlin diesel

Yep, they have done a lot of tests.

I'm sorry Rusty, it's just frustrating. Seems like this day and age the medical community seems to know everything. When they don't well, that's when it gets frustrating.

 

[Floorist]

They can give me an iron infusion every few months to keep it safe.

 

[highup]

But wouldn't that make you....
.....Rusty?
I'm sorry my humor isn't very good until the second cup of coffee.

The new house that I've been tinkering with has an interesting architectural feature.
The sheetrock has rounded corners yet the base has square corners. Interesting way to deal with it.

 

[C.J.]

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.

So today I became a victim of climate change..... or something.

Why is it that when your concrete heaves at a saw cut that was filled with elastomeric epoxy not less... and causes your concrete to buckle and shift and makes a bubble in the flooring, it's somehow my problem?

We had historic temperatures a few weeks back and would you believe these showed up right after? weird!

So, alas, I have now fallen prey to the effects of climate change, for shame.

I heard a report today about Vancouver where the sealife/mussels were getting cooked on the rocks killing them. Along with environmental disasters I believe we are destroying earth exponentially

 

[Floorist]

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.

But if they're getting cooked we won't have to light a fire on the beach and release all that carbon.

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.

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.
