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
........or just upgrade your current ones. Not sure if these are plug and Play with your original base.

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.

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.

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.

It is the ethanol that kills power equipment. I run pure, unadulterated gas on items I want to keep around.
My fuel string trimmer is still going strong …third year I’ve had it

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.

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.
I run True Fuel as well. Damn stuff is expensive though.

Oh that’s the stuff premixed in the 1 gallon metal can? Tree guy used the same stuff had to go to Lowe’s. I thought that was kinda a waste, his helper(guy I worked with at Lowe’s and was also a SeaBee) said it was to ensure correct mix ratios. Hmm, can’t do it.
Yes, they also have pure gas, rather than the 40 to 1 or 50 to 1 mix.
Tell them the dangers of carpeting over these trapdoor areas. In rare cases it can cause a house to burn down.
That looks like the same unit my brother has. Took it to the Saw shop because it was having a hard time running. Once it got running it wouldn't rev up but it spit fuel back out the intake. The guy told him they were booked up for months and couldn't get to it and recommended that he check out and probably replace the spark arrestor. For me to get plugged up it can't breathe. Sounded like it was a common problem.
Most stuff made today is designed for use with a Jack Daniels mix.
Around here, we can get non-ethanol premium.
