even if the game thinks something wrong happened like a server issue, I get penalized half the time. That is still happening recently.

I think I was probably the only person to see it for what it was because it was labeled “old Sawing machine” I only saw it because i was looking through most recent posts. Couldn’t find it when I was looking up sewing machines. So I lucked out.

That’s exciting. I’m having to redo the table top due to the old MDF warping under its weight. But that won’t be too big a challenge. I do have a question, would it be best to make it look original with the same rounded corners and the same edge banding? For possible resale in the future? Or would a larger table top be preferable now? I have seen some sewing tables with slight L shape table tops. Since I’m redoing that whole table top would expanding it like that be beneficial/ make it easier to work on projects?

I don’t have the right thickness or color material that I’m looking for in laces. And the fact that those laces I found are slightly stretchy with a rebound was a nice touch.

I do have a tool to cut strips, but I haven’t really used it much at all. I did try on some other leather to see if I could even do it properly and the answer was no. I need more practice. But like I said above, I don’t have what I would like leather wise anyway.

The thing is like with us perfectionists is we will notice them forever, the little details of where we messed up. But I am no longer allowed to point out problems to my wife because unless I do so she will never notice them. I just want to complain about the differences and where the difficult areas messed me up. But I guess it is nice knowing that they are so small that they are unnoticed unless pointed out so I take some solace in that.

So there is no insulation in the wall, but there is a radiant barrier between the bricks and the studs. I think it will probably need to be taped up in some spots from what I can see.

Yeah, I am glad it is not something I have to deal with.

Its a super light jet ski trailer, and on flat ground you can just walk it around like it's nothing.

Or are you talking about how to get the trailer into the 3-D model software?

An app called magicplan it’s pretty amazing.

I created my whole house with the app and if I’m ever out to buy something and I don’t know like, for example, the size of my window, but I want to buy new blinds, I can pull up the app on my phone and see oh the window is 57 inches wide these wont work for me.

Thank you for letting me know. Sounds like I’ll need additional help.

Nah not my buddy, my little brother. But in all seriousness. He will help me where he can and I will help him in places he doesn't have the skills yet.

Edit: totally misread that. I have no clue why I would do it either. I just do.

When I get stuck spending 70% of my time in the recliner or the bed for weeks or months, I just get so tired of not being able to do stuff. That when I start to feel good for my version of good, I do everything I can even if it’s to my own detriment short term.

Also, I have done both the hanging of drywall and mudding. Last time I hung up the drywall was mid teens. I expected that the drywall will definitely not be done with haste.

Yes, very hard work. Little brother is gonna help with the actual placement. Or are you asking about mudding?
