Whenever I build something I always have a pile of scrap pieces that I have to pay to have the landfill dispose of. Kudos to these guys for finding a way to use all the leftovers!

Although, it might be a bit difficult to determine where to put the decking screws or nails!

I was thinking the same thing...anyone with the slightest hint of OCD will go crazy looking at the deck screw patterns across that thing.

Cmon guys, we use hidden fasteners nowadays

That'll NEVER last. We need to SEE that structural integrity. In my day, we carved pegs by hand, glued them through the boards and into the joists with animal fat mixed with tree sap. And joist hangers? We dovetailed the joists right into the trees.

I grew up in a cave so I know nothing of this magic you’re talking about.

Center locker has been spongey for a while.
Pulled it apart by taking a dremel to the bottom side and peeling apart. Sourcing the marine ply isn't an issue but getting 3/8 to match may be. I can get 1/2" easily enough so I am measuring a bunch to make sure that will work while cleaning up what I have. I haven't found an hdpe source for the size I would need without spending a lot more than the marine ply, but investigating that as well

Did that same repair a couple years ago on the fuel tank hatch. It was a big job.

Since work for me was called off today due to snow, I got to set up the new laptop that's been sitting and staring at me until I had the time to dedicate to it. Now, the annoying bit where everything has to be reconfigured, twice, although I really don't do much of anything with the Gates stuff, just refamiliarize myself with it and see what's new. Last one had Windows 8, I think, or 7, and XP was the one prior to that. Mint has been a mainstay since I can't remember when.

USCG Station Burlington. The weather changed on them. Went from glass earlier in the day to 4+'ers. Four Brothers Islands are out in the middle of the Lake on the NY side.

Got out on the water for an early season salvage job today with Dylan Berns and Red Cap Marine & Salvage. Beautiful day out there. Big Mae is a champ, even if she isn't quite set up yet. The USCG...

Yup, Third Winter should be the last one of the year, and a quick one.

Packed my boat and I'm ready to drive to Florida on Saturday. I found a 2010 Honda Accord for my mom. All while removing the rear carpet from my truck to clean it because the back window was leaking the past 3 months and it smells like mildew. I need a vacation after this week.

Agree, we have had 5 mud seasons starting in Dec. Lol

 

[Farmdog267]

Truck is done, yard is done, now it's time to get the boat ready. I'm actually least excited about that. Lots and lots of hours ahead of me with that and work has to be done in the driveway out in the sun.

That Soil cubed soil is supposed to be great for raised bed gardens and flower beds! I'll be curious as to how well it does for lawn applications and growing turf grass.

It came highly recommended by someone who completely overhauled their lawn and used this. Fingers crossed all goes well.

That SUCKS. We got pounded by 90 minutes of that graupel and heavy rains that were headed toward you, while we were handing out boxes off the mobile Food Pantry truck last night. Luckily, it never turned to snow.
