What did YOU do today?

[MaicoDoug]

The rear jump seats I'm thinking of removing, don't use them anyway. Looking on installing some sort of small subwoofer & amp. Pulled out a Bose sub from an escalade. May attempt to re-use some of those parts.

Had a grand revelation yesterday..


The clutch in the '96 didn't slip when I brought it home... but after the exhaust went on... slips all over the place...

I pulled the jumpseat from a s10 stuck a 10” sub where it was.

The job isn't bad. I pulled mine out of the 2011. The hardest part is pulling the seat belts and the anchor points in the suicide doors.

Eventually, I'm going to build a storage system back there to better organize things and get them out of sight of potential theives. I don't keep anything especially theft prone back there but one never knows.

The fourth box is done. I'm not excited about the door seal I used to seal the lids as far as the backing sticking to the lids. I'm hoping a few says in the trailer, covered with the tarp will kind of vulcanize the adhesive. If it doesn't, I'll have to try another type of seal. So, the boxes are done for now.

I also started working on the firewood rack and remembered that the last one I built like this required twice as much wood compared to the other ones. So, I'll need to get more wood. And, because of their location, treated canvas isn't doing the job. There is just too much shade and the canvas is staying wet too long. Time to upgrade to corrugated roofing and get some treated 1X boards to cover the sides. I think I can make the remaining new tarp in the garage work as a cover for the front on both of them.

This is technically over a few days, but whatever

Dug a trench, laid pipe, filled said trench, and graded over said trench. Fun times.

The company who sold us the basin for the lift pump didn’t send us the lid… Even though we paid for it.

Mowed the lawn

I started filling in the toe kicks on the new island cabinets.

With toe kicks:

With toe kicks filled in:

I still have a lot to go to finish the island, (finish cabinet install, run electric, base molding, paint cabinets, build butcher block counter top, etc.) but that will have to wait until after LBL. For now I’m just going to cut a piece of plywood as a temporary countertop.

NO… We won’t be here in 10 years. We’ll move before then.

 

[pjtoledo]

building some tall roll around racks for the garage, heavy duty of course.
for shelf adjustability I need identical holes in the uprights.
I'll do an opposing pair clamped together, then use those as templates for the others.

one rack is 1-1/4 angle, other 2 will be 1/1/2 angle. all welded top, middle, bottom. casters are rated at 400 lbs each.

how do you like my jig setup? that's half the fun

 

[sgtsandman]

Not much today. I just put the roof racks on the 2011 for a lumber run tomorrow. Most everything I need will fit in the bed but the 10 foot boards I need. Those will go up on top and the rest in the bed.

Wife bought a shelf at goodwill she wanted mounted, oddly enough it used a french cleat to mount so I used the table saw to cut up a piece of scrap at a 45 degree angle to make one and mounted it to the wall... I gotta admit that french cleat thing is pretty neat, might have to us that more around the shop once I get more organized... and more used to using the table saw

Is this what you meant by a French cleat?

I don’t know where I learned to make them and use them, and I had no idea what the correct name for it was. Padded headboard in the guest bedroom hangs on a long one, and I bet there’s another half dozen around the house. Amazingly solid as simple as it is.

I use a few of them around the shed of miracles to gain space wherever I can. My latest was to hang a little one on the bathroom door to hold the 6 foot ladder. That was a home run. The ladder is right there, it’s completely out of the way, and it doesn’t hurt the door.

If it was up to me, I’d call it Rick’s cleat or a Polish cleat. Things like that are why I always keep little pieces of wood around for whatever creativeness comes to be

Yes, that's a French cleat.
