Leaf cart

2011-10-21T10:31:00.006-05:00

Poly tub cart started out as a wagon.
Removed the front axle to make a two wheel cart.
Started by putting stakes in the stake pockets.
Stakes are 4 feet long.

Added 1/4 inch plywood to make a box.
Cart is nearly 6 feet tall.
Top is covered with 1/2 inch wire mesh for ventilation.
8 inch urethane hose from the mowing deck to the top of the cart.

Vacuums the yard very well. Packs it in tight.
Makes a huge dust cloud while vacuuming.
Holds more if I chop them with the mower before vacuuming.
Got 9 loads already, and lots of leaves still in the trees.

Fireplace cleanup

2009-05-10T13:23:00.003-05:00

Before. When I first looked at the house, I thought there were gas logs in there.

Took the doors off to clean inside.

The logs have a red bulb and tinsel on a rotating spindle.
I should have made a video, can't see the effect in a still.

Yea! Bright lights!

2009-05-09T00:13:00.001-05:00

Need to paint the workshop walls. Garage is much brighter.

2 lights in the workshop, 4 in the garage.

Need new lights in the garage

2009-05-06T00:13:00.002-05:00

This monster was heavy.
Those bulbs are 8 feet long.
Yes, there were only 3 (only one was working).

It was all held to the ceiling by two LARGE nails.
How many wire nuts were in the case?
Lots of connections. All of that wire came out of there.

Dinner is served!

My mailbox got clobbered again Monday night. Lost track of how many times it has been hit. The car/truck was gone by the time I got out of the house, so I hope no-one was hurt. At least I was able to salvage the mailbox this time. It is a little beat up, but it still works.

DeWalt Nail Gun

2008-11-23T10:25:00.005-06:00

The new nail gun, made by Dewalt can drive a 16D nail through a 2 X 4 at 200 yards. This makes construction a breeze, you can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence. Just get the wife and kids to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back and relax with a cold drink. When they have the board in the right place just fire away. With the hundred round magazine, you can build the fence with a minimum of reloading. After a day of fence building with the new Dewalt Rapid fire nail gun, the wife will not ask you to fix or build anything else.

THE LAWS OF ULTIMATE REALITY

2008-08-15T12:43:00.000-05:00

Law of Mechanical Repair
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

Law of Gravity
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

Law of Probability
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of Random Numbers
If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

Law of the Alibi
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

Variation Law
If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now.

Law of the Bath
When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

Law of Certainty (a bit more of the bath)
If waiting for someone to call, take a shower or use the toilet, it will ring as soon as you are unavailable.

Law of Close Encounters
The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

Law of the Result
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

Law of Biomechanics
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

The Starbucks Law
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Murphy's Law of Lockers
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Physical Surfaces
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

Law of the Symptoms
Once you finally get the Doctor or Dentist appointment, it won't hurt anymore.

Law of Logical Argument
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Brown's Law of Physical Appearance
If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

Oliver's Law of Public Speaking
A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Wilson's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy
As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.
