Bilqis,
An F2 to F3 touched down somewhere around Hinkley (I think). It flattened two 500 foot turkey barns. The turkeys had been moved out two weeks prior. However, all day long I have been trying to imagine what that area would look like with a 200 yard wide swath of turkey feathers that extends for two miles. So are you up by Lake of the Woods? The Boundary Waters? Cloudy, What can I say? |

onthepequod,
I thought I would use this thread of yours to tell you that I grew up in a metal/wood shop and had a beautiful shop of my own in AZ before I came to Texas in '99. I make cabinets, frames, CD Boxes, tool boxes, window awnings with cut-outs in them, and shelves just to name a few thangs. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Earlier this spring, Rex and I cleaned out his grandfather's garage (neglected for over thirty years) and found a fantastic shop underneath the rubble minus the tools. We have since bought a jigsaw, a cirular saw, a hand saw, some saw horses and a variety of hammers, screw drivewrs, wrenches, nails, screws, nuts & bolts for future projects. We bought some wood to repair the front of the house with and to make our new puppy a dog house. The dog house is done, the front of the house is waiting on me to finish the windows and start painting trim. I am waiting on a free weekend when we can get some wood to make new window awnings for the house. I have to finish re-glazing and painting the window frames first though! (I hate slow-going projects and the particular window I am working on has 16 panes of glass and is set behind some thorny ferns lol). Just so you know, I am not all pouts and batting eyelashes LOL! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif |
Moni,
I knew there was something deeper (to both you and Cloudy). http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Your chiding is not mindless and thus reflects a deeper character. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif I am very much looking forward to getting to know you as well as everyone else on this board. If I ever start to make you feel bad with my quips or if you notice that I do this to anyone else, please let me know. I would never do this intentionally. On a completely different topic; wood? Remodeling? I am completely impressed. We are also in the process of restoring a house (a 1948 1 1/2 story). And boy does it need work. Tonight I am routering my second fluted column to cap off some toung and grove wainscoating (sp?) I have put up in the kitchen. I would like to hear of any tricks you discover or any frustrations you have with the remodel. Or if you would just like to talk in depth about a project, I'll listen. Do you two have a basement? If so have you tried waterproofing it? P.S. What kind of dog do you have? No let me guess! A Lab?!? Go on congratulate me. [This message has been edited by onthepequod (edited 05-10-2001).] |
onthepequod,
Thank you for your kind words! I too look forward to getting to know you better and you can believe me when I tell you if you ever offend me, you will certainly hear from me about it! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif I am generally an easy going and way too mellow woman LOL and it really takes a lot to hurt my feelings or make me angry. I might make the mistake myself in the way I kid so please, if there are ever any misunderstandings, don't hestitate to correct or reprimand me. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Wood http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Ah yes, the smell of fresh cut wood...takes me back to childhood days of hanging out in my daddy's cabinet shop building chairs with a tiny hammer out of scraps so that I could sit somewhere besides on the floor to watch him work. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif He taught me alot, as did friends I acquired as I grew up and old and I do a little electrical and plumbing as well. My claim to fame (LOL) is having torn a bathroom out (throwing toilet and tub out into the yard, the sink, walls and floor into the trash and starting from scratch, building it back from the ground up. It turned out beautifully and as professional looking as if I had hired a contractor and a plumber to do it for me. Pedestal sink, white walls with tiny pink and teal flowers in the panels, pink trim, pink bath accessories (shower curtain and such), brass fixtures and brass trimmed mirrors, it was really pretty! Took a little over three weeks with me working a full time job + Saturdays at the time. I have never done any tongue in groove but I can certainly picture it done in here! The ceilings in the front room and dining room have exposed beams and paneled walls...cheap paneling, hmmmmm http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif The house I live in and work at right now was built in the thirty's. Brick with paneling covered walls, there is not a lot I can do to improve on it beyond renewing the paneling, updating the (original) wiring and repainting the exterior although one of the two bathrooms is just waiting for me to get the go ahead on the demolition process http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif The new shower unit sits in the garage just whining to be put in heh heh heh. A router is next on the "to buy" list for the shop! I want to play!!! Right now, projects are just straight-up wood cuts and nails LOL! There is no basement here but I think I know who to come to if I ever have to water proof one, am I right? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Our new puppy Hercules (I pronounce it Hercooleze) lol looks like a German Shephard/Pitbull mix. He is a 12 week old stray I picked up last week and we'll never know for sure exactly what he is but I took a pic of him the day we got him and he looked so much like the RCA dog, I had to put the pic on my webpage for easy posting LOL! Here he is: http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc.../hercules1.gif We also have two twelve or thirteen year-old "throw away" dogs that have been here just over eleven years. Sisters, one looks like a black lab (CONGRATULATIONS! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif ) and the other resembles a collie. Funny that they should be blood sisters and look so different, I thought that only happened with cats http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Well it is past my bedtime again and I have certainly written you an eye full lol so I will let you go and I am off to bed. Goodnight, Sweet Dreams and I'll see you tomorrow! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif [This message has been edited by Moni (edited 05-11-2001).] |
Moni,
Wow, your house sounds gorgeous. Have any pictures? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Plumbing and electrical (be careful)? Now I am overwhelmed with awe. Speaking of plumbing and electrical, somewhere in the middle of our kitchen remodel I installed the sink, plumbed it, installed the garbage disposal, and hard wired and plumbed in the dishwasher. When I finished everything looked great! I even used chrome plumbing for asthetics. However, there was one minor issue; the garbage disposal was attached to one side of the sink with an drain pipe T-ing into the drain pipe coming from the other side of the sink. The T fitting that joined the two had a slight downward curvature (a slight baffle) in the middle to encourage all drain water downward into the gooseneck. Oh, did I mention that our new garbage disposal is 3/4 hp (not a great amount of power but enough to suck water through it and into the drain pipe at a high rate of speed. Furthermore, at that time we were having sink exhaust issues, causing our sink to back up to the point of having a couple inches of standing water in the basin. Another important point to note, is that the disposal switch is on the opposite side of the sink from the disposal itself. Well after I finished the job, I ran a little water into the disposal flipped the switch and....everything worked like a charm. I check every fitting and could find no leaks. At this point I was very happy with my work. About thirty minutes later, after my wife had been using the sink for a while, she advised me that the disposal side was backing up. I told her, this was not a problem, I was aware of it, and would have it fixed shortly. I also mentioned, that if she flipped on the disposal it would force the sink to drain. Armed with this information and having no reason to distrust my advice (at least up until this point) she leaned across the side of the sink opposite the disposal and flipped the switch. Just as I had said, the disposal drained the sink. However, since the T fitting had only a slight baffle the water was not encouraged in the least to go down into the gooseneck but instead proceeded across into the other drain pipe and up out of the opposite side of the sink. Yeah, that would be the side of the sink my wife was leaning across. More specifically her face was directly above the drain. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/disgust.gif FYI, 3/4 hp can shoot water up out of a drain at a decent velocity. Good thing she has a sense of humor. Within a week I had replace the T fitting and everything works perfectly now. BTW, that's a good looking pup! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif [This message has been edited by onthepequod (edited 05-11-2001).] |

onthepequod,
LMBO, that dishwasher story is hilarious! I am glad for you that your wife has a sense of humor! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/485.gif Thanks for sharing it! I have no pics of the bathroom I did. ;( I forgot to mention that it was the bathroom in my home in AZ and when I left here, I left my son with the house and he sold it (which was fine with me, it was old and half torn apart from the remodeling I left undone when I left). He is a born skateboarder, never had the desire to learn from me what I know and would never have finished the house himself. I am taking pictures of the work I do in and around this place. I forgot to take before pics of the over 100 large lawn bags of debris in the form of dead vines that had accumulated over many years, covering fences and almost killing trees. It took me almost two months to clear the property of it all! I do have this one though LOL...the tree underneath is just a hackberry and since it lost all the limbs you see in this pic due to strangulation by Queen's Crown Vines, we are considering cutting it down, driving an iron nail into the center (that will kill it right?) and slapping a small tabletop onto it and a couple of chairs next to it. (This pic does nothing to show the severity of the dead vines that weighed down the fences around the whole lot!) That dark area in the right background that looks like it could be a fence is, lol, covered in dead vines two feet thick! http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...s/backyard.jpg A Deck project built around a a big old (long dead) oak stump is first in line though so that I have something to go on when it comes to paving paths and adding garden areas for foliage. The Oak stump is going to get a big tabletop and umbrella. That is being saved for after the window and trim painting projects that hang around here in limbo waiting on me to finish them (it has been raining every evening since Sat. or Sunday, but that is all done with no, no more excuses for slacking!) Years from now, there will be added shade to the deck from at least one of the two magnolia trees we just planted recently. : ) Glad you like my pup! Have you clicked on my profile and checked out some of the cats? I need to update that page since I have pics now of the three not shown! Ah, well, I need to get back to my morning chores around here. You know I will stop in later though! See you sometime! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif [This message has been edited by Moni (edited 05-11-2001).] |

Didn't want to say anything earlier. So it just tried to picture it myself. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Now I can see that I was much largeer than I imagined. But it sounds like you got to the root of the problem and have since branched out into other projects. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif Earlier you also mentioned being in the market for a router. So which ones are you considering? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/ponder.gif BTW, I had my hearing tested today and the results came back in the normal range.

onthepequod!
Fantastic! I am glad you got the test done! Loved your puns LOL! I am partial to Black & Decker and Craftsman tools. Do you have a recommendation? Rex is going to be so suprised tomorrow! He actually guessed what I bought him for his birthday and I gave in and gave him the sweats and shorts but little does he know (and I am not posting exactly what it is here in case he reads through here at night~him being a night shift kinda guy who maintains a database for an internet service and surfs when he is not performing back-ups, maintenance or inspections) I have a whole 'nother bag 'o gifts waiting for him with a card that I actually got his grandpa to sign! That was a feat in itself since Grandpa had a stroke and can't write! I was so proud, I did not even have to help him, I just coaxed him a little and once he signed "grandpa" he told me that's all he could get, he could not write anything more. That's enough though, he may not be around to see Rex have another birthday and I think it will be special for him to have a card this year actually signed BY him instead of FOR him. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif |
Moni,
I personally am a fan of Porter Cable and Bosch. My router is a Bosch plunge router which is nice when you need to plunge into the wood for interior work(as opposed to routing the edge of the board). However, I find that I use this feature infrequently and the $$ I spent for this feature are probably not justified. However, IMHO I do think that Porter Cable and Bosch are probably a little better quality than Black & Decker or Skill. I think you will see this in the movements of the equipment and in the longevity. This is just my opinion though and as I have posted before; a truly talented woodworker can produce masterpieces regardless of tools used. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif On other fronts, I imagine the signature will mean alot to Rex. Grandfathers are special and our time with them is prescious little. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif From previous posts I hope I didn't give the impression that chiding bothers me. I enjoy being teased. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif |
Ah! Bosche! I think Bosche and I see a nail gun LOL! Thank you, I will certainly look into your suggestions!
I love the fact that Grandpa has some old Craftsman tools around here...found a few things in his shed...reminds me of my dad. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif (I shall remember to tease you more in the future then!) http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif |

However, here in the Twin Cities we do have a remarkable greasy spoon known as Mickey's. Everything from the name to the decor to the waitress is quintessential. Its the old '40s Trolley car style and has been around forever. I believe Mickey's has been featured in Jingle All the Way and both of the Mighty Duck's movies. Last year a friend came to visit and since we both love greasy spoons, I took him to Mickeys. Once we were ready to order, my friend informed the waitress that this would probably be the only time he would be in Mickey's and would like to make it memorable! "Well," she said, "I could melt some spatula in your breakfast, that would make it memorable. Or I could make you come back here and wash dishes, that would make it memorable." To that my friend said, "I think I'll just order." http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/uhoh2.gif So he ordered an omelet, toast, and some coffee. Then she asked if he would like some Potatoes O'Brien. He inquired as to what Potatoes O'Brian were and she told him. She went on to say that everybody ordered Potatoes O'Brian and many people came solely for that reason. To this my friend declined because we were going mountain biking after breakfast and he didn't want to be too full. The Waitress continued "So would you like some Potatoes O'Brian?!" Friend: "No thanks." Waitress: "You need to have some Potatoes O'Brian." Friend: "No thanks" Waitress: "You need Potatoes O'Brian!" Friend: "Ok." Waitress: "Orange Juice?" Friend: "No thanks." Waitress: "Yeah, we had better make that a large!" Friend: "Ok." Then she moved on to me but I had learned my lesson. So when she asked if I wanted Potatoes O'brian, I answered "absolutely." And when she asked a bout orange juice, I said, "I'll take a large." Boy was she crusty! She looked to be the type that would actually try to physically toss us out if we gave her too much trouble. If you remember that '70s dinner sit-com, image Flo only considerably more cantankerous. I do have to say, that was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had (especially the Potatoes O'Brian). What a great breakfast. Complete with ambiance. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Mountain biking, an hour later, (esp. the hill climbs) was a little tougher than we had expected.
