I probably have too many drop cords already, but I can’t turn one down when it’s offered

Finally cleaned, put in a bucket, new female end installed and function checked. 100ft 12 ga drop cord for $3. Yes please.

It’s like one of those old hallway portraits that feels like the eyes are following you lol

A drop cord I rescued from the dump yesterday. 12 gauge stranded wire, at least a 50 footer, maybe longer. I’m on dad duty today since it’s raining and my daughter took just enough of a nap to let me think I’d get the cord cleaned lol couple repair plugs from harbor freight for $6 for the pair, and I might do my standard quad box and gfci if I’ve got some in my box of electrical stuff.

What do you do when you gotta take a big ass conference table from the ag center to the trash? Break out the Destruct-o-magic 5-hundy

This is why I keep a machete in the truck…

Pro tip of the day #2; this time a positive one. If you’re gonna rip up an old deck, even if you’re just doing the one off your back door for yourself, get you one of these crescent Bull bars. Absolutely the best bar I’ve used to rip up a deck, and I can see it being exceedingly useful for pulling up a subfloor though I haven’t used it for that yet. It’s about $65 right now, which might seem like a lot for a single use, but can you ever really have too many pry bars? But seriously, this thing will save you so much effort and pain, from the adjustable head angle making it where when something lets go it doesn’t send everything (including you) flying, to the fact you don’t have to hammer it between the joist and the deckboard. It’s beautiful, really.

Yeah, you know, just takes a few minutes…each time…I’ve moved a stack of new plastic lattices like 7 times now…it’s wild out here dude…

Pro tip time, an example of what not to do.

Don’t put your new materials in the middle of your workspace…

Yup. I don’t think it’s gonna look as good as she thinks either. I think it’s gonna look funky being up against the structure like it will be.

Uh…that’s supposed to say “live”….but I guess “love” works too cause they bring them in out of love…

Another thing to consider if you decide to go with composite decking or composite railing is the sawdust. This pic is from the area where I’ve been setting up my table saw. This has been here for a week, some of it more like 3 weeks, on concrete. Not sure how long this stuff might stick around either.
