you are me

I have some vintage pennies and an old lawnmower motor if you need to replace a few more, hmu.

(Looks very nice btw!)

Hell yeah brother

I was out working in my garage a couple of months ago, when a guy comes around (walking through yards instead of back to the sidewalk and then up the driveway, which was the first thing that pissed me off). He approaches me and starts going on about the "major hail storm" a few weeks back and how they'd do a free evaluation of my roof. When I told him the hail was pea-sized and lasted less than ten minutes, he blew that off and kept trying to get me to engage. I closed the garage door on him to get him to fuck off.

Evidence.

It's looking good, brother!!!

I see your Ryobi Jobmax tools. I'm disappointed Ryobi and Rigid doesn't make them anymore.

I often think If I'm going to build a deck, I'd build it like a wooden boat. Maybe even soak it in salt water every week or so. It would have a slight dome shape and be sealed with caulk and marine sealant so water doesn't sit on it or hang beneath the boards. Probably completely unrealistic, but one can dream.

How wide are the beams that cross underneath? I’d be worried where you have to do two sets of screws where the boards meet, if the board underneath wasn’t wide enough.

Like I was thinking you just have 2” to play with. Or you could add some kind of bracket?
