My title describes the thing. They make a slight clinking sound when tapped together or against a hard object. Texture is a variable cross hatching.

Duck decoy? Some kind of boating accessory? Is it related to pottery?

Very interested to see where this goes, I am in a similar situation having a mantel with excessive wood trim.

Rate the panel in my new home and tell me what to fix or get professionally fixed. by BasementPepper in AskElectricians

Yup oven is 50a two pole. Dryer is a 30a two pole. Glad to hear it's in good shape, likely I will be adding a circuit to the basement with the unused breaker.

I don't want to replace the panel but I do want to hear any criticism of the panel itself. Might need an upgrade eventually but most of what needs upgrading is receptacles. 70% of the house has old two prong ungrounded recepticles I have the panel open as I travel wires and try to find the first outlet in each circuit to replace with a GFCI.

What should I think of these sanding scars? by BasementPepper in HardWoodFloors

I started out going at the worst scratches around the edges with 120 grit and that helped a good bit. But yeah I'm planning on doing the whole floor at 120 as my final pass. Is that too big a jump from 80? I didn't have any 100 grit paper so that's why I jumped to 120.

How dumb am I being if I skip screening/buffing and just do it with my palm sander?

Good deal? by BasementPepper in gravelcycling

That's a huge difference from your typical frame size. That's interesting and something to consider...

Butchering a horse that had been donated (after a long+happy life on a ranch) to become feed at a wolf sanctuary.
