Get a container of Iron Out at Home Depot Z. Pout some of the powder in the tank, let it sit for a half hr , then use the toilet brush to remove it . Comes right off.

I have a well, It is what i use to clean my toilet to keep it white .

Good luck.
 
Been using it in the bowel for 3 years now . Haven't put it in the tank.

Can't give you a honest answer . Will look up the specks and get back.

Portable classrooms------roughly 40'x23'

4 shots lengthwise of C&A existing to demo + base + furniture + walk off mats. Install NEW C&A-------same exact ****. ????

so around 400 s/y total

me, another journeyman and an apprentice.

push all the furniture to half of all 4 classrooms

the demo pulled up a lot of the plywood so we had to skim pretty much wall to wall

we nearly finished HALF of the 4 classrooms

tomorrow I go back with just the apprentice.

It won't be done but Wed will be an easy day.

Ugh! I that sounds awful! I hope the infection clears up soon.

The guy we sold the tractor to came by today and bush-hogged for a few hours. He showed up around 9 or 10am and finished sometime after 1:30pm. I saw that he added a sun shade thingy to the top of the tractor, but it still probably didn't do much about the heat. It was like a friggin' sauna out there. I'll have to get him a card to thank him.
Part of the agreement when he bought the tractor was that he would come bushhog from time to time and he also helps with downed branches and other stuff because we were selling the tractor for half of what we could have gotten for it and we threw in extra accessories and the trailer to tow it (before he'd been having to borrow something from a friend to tow things). But, he's a really nice person who does labor intensive stuff for people for free and is always willing to help people out. So now he can use those things to help other people.

When the weather isn't so miserable, he's going to help us clear the young trees that took over the workshop yard.

Incognito, that looks like an interesting job.

Nick, I might try the Iron Out in the bowl. The stuff in the tank is black so I hope it isn't mold. I wonder if I can scrub the sides with toothpaste.
 
As a contractor if you don't bid that right , You can loose your shirt .

Union shops don't do prevailing wage projects "on the cheap". So that's a BIG 10 4 Roger on that one Nick. You really have to know your historical range of costs for this sort of BS. I started working here in 1987 with the grandpa of the gal who's my salesperson/boss. All I have to do is mention her Grandpa's name and tell some Good Old Stories and her heart melts to butter. My sons as very young boys were invited to her birthday parties. We were over there on Christmas and Thanksgiving---------when things were Hunky-Dory. You know, it's not ALL about business, right?

I know roundabouts where we're at on........furniture, demo, prep, install, mats, transitions, cove base.

This job will come in at a decent profit margin. Nobody is getting rich on this one.

Maybe the next one. We leave the client HAPPY. That's the big picture.

But you know all that. (Ya tu sabes)

I took my Ridgeline for service. They didn't try to push extra stuff on me and did the job quickly. Found a screw in one of the tires and marked it so I could take it to my tire place and get it fixed. Turned out it was only stuck in the treads and hadn't punctured. They put air in the tires apparently because the "low tire pressure" message was gone-- either that or it was doing that bc of the mud. Whatever it was, they fixed it. All less than $60.

They were very nice there and said hopefully my airbag replacement will be available next month (driver airbag in my truck was recalled because it can explode and kill people).

Went to Petsmart to get some pet supplies.

I attempted to use the weedeater on the damn weeds growing over the sidewalk but they were too tough and the weedeater couldn't cut them and then it crapped out. I'll have to use a different tool for it tomorrow.

Put duct tape on the tiny holes in the tin roof of the porch. Keep rain from dripping thru. The roof sealer did not cover the larger holes. New roof next year.
 
I woke up this morning to those extremely small ants everywhere in my kitchen. Worse yet, they were all around my coffee maker. Was this a sick joke? I do not function without my coffee! I had to kill the ants before I had my coffee!

I can tell today is not gunna be good!
 
I heard 3 parts borax and 1 part sugar will kill roaches and ants. I need to try it because the ants have been rushing into my kitchen bc of the rain outside.

Today my power went out and I had to call the automated system to report outages and request a callback when it was restored. Got the automated call back while my power was still out and this time it let me put in that it was NOT restored (in the past it only informed me that my power should be back and would hang up). So, 20 minutes after I reported it was still out, they had it back up again.

It's raining and that always makes me sleepy. I've been inordinately tired the last few days. I feel a slight tenderness where my adenoid tissue is (from where my tonsils used to be). The fatigue used to coincide with swollen tonsils and once I got them removed I still had a little adenoid tissue left on the right side and it swells/gets sore when I get EBV flareups.

and I just had major brain freeze.
