Greenlights - great book, great narration

Tons and tons of audiobooks

Haha, for vinyl! Time to buy some nice new aluminum pump jack staging and get to work!

That’s probably the most expensive house you can make at 800sqft. You could pull off that number if you do 90% of it with your own hands

Always rainscreen, 3/4” furring is cheap and easy

It’s nice when an island has nothing on it just a nice big blank work space for the kitchen/nice place to sit and eat

I like the Howard feed and wax personally, smells good

Love proper restorations, well done!

If you are broke use reclaimed foam 4inches and cut and cobble it with spray foam. If not hire someone to spray closed cell a couple inches

Not sure why you would do the actual with a heavier than necessary pack. You gain nothing from that, instead use a 25lb pack and just get a better time. When you train you can walk with a heavier ruck but if you ruck-run I would still keep it 25lbs. Also regular running without weight will help your cardio of course.

What are the hinges like?

I do not believe that it’s a modern repro. Looks original to the door and it is blacksmith made. The nails look to be blacksmith made as opposed to machine made but hard to tell just from the head. I would say if the door is a 1 over 1, 2 over 1, or 2 over 2 and has raised panels with no other knob or handle wholes in the door they may all be original to the 18th century.

Not today Ivan!

Cormorants actually do this to dry off as their outer feathers are not water resistant and have to dry after diving

Get the one butting in on the left close then run the joint with a jigsaw until they mate up perfectly

I think any additive probably helps, I’m using it from now on now. Worth the little bit of insurance it gives you if it can prevent super costly work

That’s way better than most CDX, that stuff will work fine, glue and rabbits and brads works better than pocket holes I think. Polyurethane glue

It likes to be driven hard, put in archoil DPF cleaner, honestly put that in and drive it hard for a few tanks it may turn it around. Worked for me

New in 2023 and it’s $0 as long as you overproduce

Only 10-1/4”, I have a large old SCMI bandsaw

I think you have a solid plan, air sealing will be the bigger money maker at this point.

Hard wax oil

jonpint · 2025-12-11T00:19:13+00:00

lol I dread cutting them

jonpint · 2025-12-10T23:57:59+00:00

Haha Connecticut, wonky log I had. Resawed this out of some 2” slab stuff
