Man, that was only two months ago, and look at Andy now! I'm so sorry about Gunny. God Bless his family.

I already have $34! There's my first tank and a half of gas! :-)

That's the 'hit the road' spirit!

I didn't even notice that I'd gotten 1600 until afterwards.
*sorry*

Been trying to keep track of several threads.

You broke up my super funkle! ;o)
We were at a Builder's Trade show on Thurs. and Fri. and there was a drywall guy there giving the builders some 'secrets' for fixing holes and cracks in drywall. I chuckled because two men were standing behind me, and when the drywall guy showed one of the shortcuts, one of the men quietly said to the other, "He's cheating." Well, DUH! He did say they were shortcuts! But these guys should have listened because there were some good tips!

No need to be sorry about an honest Precious!

Just going back over the things I've missed!

and were thinking of finding a smallish house to fix up and rent - so they had cash in hand.

It's exactly like I said! LOL!!!

I'm thrilled, Rosie! You're moving on My Birthday!

:-)

Really liked it!

So did we. I've added it to our limited DVD collection, along with Signs and Sixth Sense. Now I need to get Unbreakable, and I'll have all of Night's suspense movies!

I love all of his movies. He's one of the fiew directors who cares about keeping the art in his craft.

I'm watching Hometime...trying to get motivated. After all, it's not like I'm putting this house on the market any time soon. :)

This is what I did yesterday...Steve worked on making blocks, I didn't get any pictures of him, he was just sawing.

Matthew took the bolts off that hold the two parts of the seat together...he put the bolts and washers in a labeled baggie.

Here I am working on removing the "hog rings" or brass rings that hold the seat cover onto the frame of the seat...

Here is the underneath of the bottom of the seat. Note the horsehair pad? It's totally falling apart and was full of mouse droppings. You can purchase replacement pads. I really wished I had a face mask while I was taking this apart...I did stay upwind of it.

Here is the upright part of seat. A total mess, I did find big clumps of mouse fur in here. Yuck.

And here it is with the stuffing off. The foam rubber molding up at the top seems salvageable...only slightly deteriorated where it was exposed to the elements. I'm on the lookout for something to seal it with.

After I finish removing all the stuffing, I'll go back with a brush and make sure it's spotless, then I'll likely paint it with Rustoleum or something...

TLC needs a new reality show: follow 2J around for a day - she cooks, she cleans, she teaches, she tends chickens, she restores cars......

The idea of a webpage just seemed too daunting...FTP??? What is THAT?

Anyway, here's the blog!
