Ed Kennell 35,809 #1 Posted February 19, 2018 A few warm Feb days permitted a couple winter projects to be moved outside for painting. I made a couple corn hole boards for the boys favorite football teams. Finished the deer head and brought him outside to brush out the curing salts. And even got the new sign painted for Howards mash pole. Seems mine got destroyed during last years storm. @857 horse Where's Howard? 16 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,166 #2 Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) We're still waiting for the real warmth here. Seven inches of snow this morning. This week...... toasty forecast. We buttoned up a couple things in prep for a house appraisal. New cellar stairway and finally got the siding and trim near the front door.

Cvans 1,009 #7 Posted February 20, 2018 I enjoy converting these small boats. This is the one I'm working on now. It's a 1960's Lund 12'. Installingn a carpeted floor, pedestal seat, dash, remote steering and controls. On the last one the dash was stained and varnished but haven't decided what to do on this one. Where the red was will now be Royal blue as will the front deck which will be aluminum. This one will be powered by a 1956 Johnson 15hp that I just finished going through. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I fixed the "N", but now some of the other letters seem funky. Think I'll go sip some shine. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,809 #10 Posted February 20, 2018 This isn't a winter project....70F here today. The house across the road from me is being gutted and redone, so last week, after getting permission from the builder, I hauled the kitchen cabinets home. I hung a couple of the wall units in Mrs. Ks garage this afternoon. I luv dumpster diving...and the price is great. The builder was happy to help load the cabinets as he has to pay by the pound to dispose them at the land fill. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,052 #11 Posted February 20, 2018 Real nice cabinets for free. Nothing wrong with getting something for free. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #12 Posted February 21, 2018 I find myself scoping out piles on the curb at any remodel job in the area - amazing what people toss and that's how I got the laundry washout sink for free, complete with a new faucet kit to boot. Cabinets around this whole area seem to disappear pretty fast - guys want them for the garage so the word has gotten out, lol. Sarge 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wife wondered what I was going to do with all the bed frames, kept telling me to quit dragging them home. When she wanted several shelve for the garage she was actually impressed that I didn't need to buy any metal. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,944 #14 Posted February 27, 2018 I take all the bed frames I can find. Good metal for little projects. 👍 @Ed Kennell what are the dimensions of your mash pole sign? Something else I have to build. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 16,944 #17 Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Well I saw 18” so I went with that. I am having my niece cut one out for me on her plasma table. If it makes it back home it will be put up over my shed door. The horse is 6” tall but the rest is 1/8”x 4” x 18” long. Don’t know if that fits the requirements but if not I’ll have a nice shed sign.

19richie66 16,944 #19 Posted February 28, 2018 Hope so. Figured if I made it this year I may not be back for a while so I thought I would over do it. 😁 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,809 #20 Posted February 28, 2018 That looks like an item that should be available for purchase. Is your Niece interested in being a vendor? Don't forget the two screw mounting holes near one end of the sign. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,944 #21 Posted February 28, 2018 I told her if she made one, she may have to make more. She said no problem. I’m painting mine to match my tractor. If anyone wants one, I can let her know and get a price. Don’t know how much business she would get being a vendor but her and her husband do make all kinds if signs and misc stuff. I’ll ask. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,944 #22 Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Ok well I messed up. My sign is 20” long not 18”. 6” high horse head and 4” sign portion total of 20” I’ll post a picture when I get it from her. Edited February 28, 2018 by 19richie66 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
