What did you do today?

[Tile Tom]

You got chains? I still got a pair behind my seat and I’m sure I won’t need them any time soon. The BFG’s I had on my van had awesome traction. Too bad they melted on the way to Phoenix.

I don't have chains. I don't know why either?
I have a set of really good cooper AT's on it. This is only the second time I been stuck with this van. It was a hill going around a curve. Couldn't get enough momentum around the curve to get up the hill.

My buddy drove an hour out of town to pull me out. He's got a big 4x4 Yukon with extremely aggressive tires. Put the tow strap on and walked me out in reverse..... I owe him a 12 pack for sure!!!

I'm over the freaking winter! It was 25 today and It felt good.... compared to -20. That's pathetic!

What causes this?
The width of this carpet was 11’ 11 1/2 “ on one end and 11’ 9 1/4 “
on the other.

I don't know. Mills used to say that 11' 9" qualified as 12'.

I wonder if it got stretched in manufacturing or if it was cut unevenly somehow? My guess is uneven cut, but I could be mistaken.

So, I noticed the past few weeks that the toilet tank was no longer parallel to the wall. At first I thought maybe it was never lined up right but it kept turning more and eventually the corner of the tank was touching the wall. So the good news is, today I grabbed the bowl and pivoted the toilet back so it was lined up. The bad news is, I was able to pivot the toilet back in place. It should not be able to do that. It's on a repair flange that was bolted to the OSB patch job underneath. So, I bet it's rotted and I have to replace it. Ugh. I need to redo the plumbing anyway, but it's a pain. It's also possible the bolts in the flange are sliding I suppose.

18 to 24 inches of snow Wed-Fri. But could be worse, lots of ice south of here.
At least I can stay home. Got 14 inches in 1978 and I went to work.

Some people are crazier than other people.

The bolts and the flange are in a keyhole type slot. I suppose they could move, especially so if the floor is uneven. Problem is, if the toilet moves, so does the wax seal.

I'm going to guess the carpet was made in China and it was inspected via a call center in India?

You'll probably go broke trying to feed us. The wife and kid eat like birds but I'm 6' 6" and weigh in at about 260#s....

Ewwww, how did that fuzzy **** sneak on your van?

I'm proud to say I got my carpet jobs down to about +/-12 a year!!

Had a talk with the shop I work out of and they got another crew to do most of the carpet! I only have to do the one's she doesn't trust the other crew to do. High end carpet, tailoring, friends of theirs, patterned goods etc.

Their usually a pain in the ass but at least it's only a few a year! I'll take it.

I'm guessing the tinnermans got out of sync. For thse who don't know what a tinnerman is, it is a sprocket that pulls the carpet down the line. If you look close at a selvedge edge you will see little holes in the backing caused by the tinnerman.

o, I noticed the past few weeks that the toilet tank was no longer parallel to the wall. At first I thought maybe it was never lined up right but it kept turning more and eventually the corner of the tank was touching the wall.

Like Highup said the flange might be loose. If they just replaced that maybe just popping a in a couple screws will do it, or on the plastic pipe maybe they "forgot" to use pipe weld. Anycase, you have to pull the toilet, so might as well take a look, see where your at. Pulling the toilets no big deal.

The cat A wins for me.
I thought for a second you got some metal plate and cut the letters with your CNC plasma cutter.
That's neat, she'll love it.

How do you cut the letters out? Scroll saw? Or do you use a router template?
