Make some ribs on the Traeger last night, any recommendations for what to cook them in? My wife doesn’t like the apple juice flavor.

Was cleaning out the fire to in my wood pellet grill hours. Turned out their were some hot embers in it yet, they sure caught my eye going through my separator.

Looks really nice, I wish my toolbox had more of the deep drawers.

That looks like it would make for a great afternoon!

We are forecasted for rain all afternoon through tomorrow morning, was planning to get the camper out, but that will have to wait till next weekend.

My tool of the day was my 12” Bosch gliding miter saw, Inused it to cut toe kick to finish the kitchen trim.

My tool of the day was my M18 18 gauge nailer for putting in some baseboard and base shoe. All I have left is caulk, spackle, and paint.

Nice work. Big difference in look in that entryway. Congrats on a job well done.

Thanks everyone, the only downside I see is trying to keep from doing the splits every time I step on the refinished part. Man is it slippery!

That would not be fun to go a week without internet.

High of 60 today with rain most of the afternoon. We had a frost advisory this morning and we will get below freezing tonight.

Wow, that would make a great 2×4!

Yesterday the poly dried enough that I could take the plastic down.
The floor is not perfect but it will do for about a year until we have the entire first floor refinished. Here is a before and after.

High of high of 57 today with a 20 percent chance of rain and mild winds. Crazy to think a week ago it was 88

Today I used my Bosch laser to keep my baseboard level while I scribe it to the floor.

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I thought I’d give it a try sometime soon.

@doobie I will have to pick up a scraper blade for my OMT. Thanks for the recommendation! Although I hope to never have to do it again.

@sorpa if I had a heat gun I would have used it, my wife’s hair dryer didn’t get it warm enough.
@Boschmanbrian I got it from Amazon but it was about $10 cheaper when I got it just before Christmas.

I really had to dig to find this thread again. It one of my favorite because its almost every time I am tackling a new project and trying to find the best way to accomplish a task that a specific tool comes through in the clutch.

This was definitely the case yesterday when I was trying to scrape as much glue off of oak flooring.
I tried sanding-…[Read more]
