I take it the ground is a little too soft for the trucks to get traction? Cat and sk to the rescue.

Cleaning some mud off the road.  Not enough frost or not cold enough is correct.  Almost 70 last week . 32 and flurries today.

Kitchen is gone. You see how thin the granite is around the length of the sink, no issue sitting on cabinets, removing it big issue. Angle iron clamped to main part of countertop to stabilize thin areas.

Nice save on the granite. So far I've been able to dodge the new kitchen bullet here at home. Our rentals get spec cabinets and laminate, But I dont believe the wife would be happy with that :lol_hitting:

We bought Candlelight Cabinets, small kitchen so I figured price wouldn't be to bad, guess again. Could have had a Pit Roller Snap On Box for what they cost. I must admit the quality is there compared to my old ones but holy shit its a lot of money. That why saving a few thousand in granite countertops is important. I bought from local lumber yard also , I'm sure lowes or HD would have been cheaper.

I filled in the socket markings on my 1/4 super set,blue for metric and red for SAE.
That's what WRIGHT did for the rails they came on so I stuck with it.


Now it will be much easier to identify them at a glance , I know what's where when I go to grab one but I have put them back wrong a few times.

The other day I got a box of old junk knives ( one was a good one flintxxx carbon from my great grandfather) and in it was a bent up old silver plated fork that I decided to repurpose.

A quick 5 min project, but I'm happy with the results.

Those look great walrus. Besides looking at a new truck the wife is wanting to rework the kitchen, 1 bathroom and the master bath sinks and countertop. Where does it end?

Walrus, kitchen looks great.  Digging the wide drawers.  I know you are tall, is your wife also and are the counters normal height or tall.

Assuming the counter tops survived

That came out really nice. Good save on the tops.

If you are drilling knob or pull holes might want to look into one of these:

It doesn't. Once one thing is done then something else needs it.
