Old salt about fighting.  Some people are dumb enough to lead with their face, or so committed they jump into it face first with little regard for personal injury.

Dona good airless will spray anything you need.

Proabably rent one. A nice one will set you back about $750 to buy

2000 psi, no air. Little overspray.

Today I’ll be painting the main house at the hide errr....spa and resort. 

Got my airless sprayer back from my dad and pray that it works. Going to shoot sherwin WIlliams emerald coating this time.  They claim it is superior to duration, mainly in fade resistance.

Opened an account and got a pretty decent discount off homeowner pricing. 10 gallons of paint for the house and 4 gallons of the oil based DTM coating for the shipping container came to a bit over $600

Got a breakfast meeting a couple of calls but took some PTO to get
It done since my daughters final dance recital is this weekend.

Part of me fears that once apart this thing will never see the light of day. It will get rolled over to SqD’s former resting place and gather dust for years. It will be the impetus for a gasser truck replacement and Don will justify it by saying the pre rangers will finish it and it will be their first vehicle.

Except the pre rangers are chips off the old block and are better at blowing stuff up and tearing stuff apart and alas will sit the duramax until Christ’s return

In general, be careful when buying AC Delco. They have 3 different quality lines, replacement, "professional" and OEM. IIRC.  Stay with OEM and you're OK.  The others are low cost lines to compete with aftermarket.

Love those hills in that drone shot JR.

So yesterday I mowed and then we had bible study and the. I power washed the last piece of the main house. The gable above the side which is above a section of 4/12 metal roof. Re learned how slipperly metal roofs are when wet.  It’s
About a 10 ft long roof area and I was standing near the top one second and the next second I was flat on my belly sliding off the roof. With nothing to grab to stop my fall the only thing I could think of was to point my toes to catch the gutter to keep me from going off the side. Fortunately it worked. So then I came up with plan B.


Yeah. Seems legit.

It worked

The better upgrade for the pump is the pinned version, so welding to heat seals etc.  I believe Danville made the one for my LB7 which is an OEM AC delco but they drill and pin the impeller to the shaft.

Looks good Ken.

I pressure washed the house to prep for paint. Laid the last pallet of sod and welded the handle back on the pressure washer cart. Then cranked the hot tub to 103. Now having a nip and about to eat the beef and chicken fajitas I made

First rule is to always be willing to walk away.

Second. I negotiate everything over the phone and get a drive out cost sent and all commitments sent  via fax or email.

And when I walk in it’s a matter of signing on the line and driving off. Usually and out in less than an hour.

Anything looks off when I get there and I walk. Plain and simple.

My laundry in the full time house is upstairs and has a tile floor with a drain in it.  Never thought about it much but now I’m glad it’s there.

Pool was 88 and spa was 92 since that was where most of the heated water flows

They spent time in both. The pool was just the right depth. 3’9” on the ends and 5’ in the middle.

Well this is a special inaugural swim occasion. I ain’t running a heater for the whole pool often if ever again

7:24 am ambient temp 40. Pool temp 78

Roughly 2.3 degrees an hour increase. 

Roughly 4 gallons an hour to run the heater.

At current cost of propane here that’s just under $10 an hour for the heater to run.

I gues $100 to heat the pool once ain’t the end of the world but it’s pretty silly IMO

Of course it’s been cheaper if it was 60 outside and no 40 :eek

Tommy I’m paying 135 for common Bermuda per pallet 425 sq ft

Your deal sounds pretty solid.

I get to keep the pallets....they make for a good redneck bonfire.

So here’s the latest taken from standing at the firepit. They finished today and replaced the hardy they broke. I didn’t have them paint it because I’m about to repaint the entire house and casita....as soon as the wife decides on paint.
