This class was Advanced Ninny Babysitting Systems. I think I taught the instructor more than he taught me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 13,731 #8381 Posted 17 hours ago Just read this morning that the South County Fairgrounds, along with a substantial chunk of North Adams county, are without electricity due to a substation fire. Over 1,500 customers affected and restoration may take days. Whew. Outage map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Big Show dodged a bullet. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 41,440 #8383 Posted 10 hours ago Picked up another park bench at the auction. This is #3 and I need one more. I had to pay $7 for this one, but the slats are all good. Just needs sanded and paint. 95F, but I had to try the new Trac Vac from the Show. Worked great, but I have to remember to slow or stop the blower before taking the top off to dump the grass. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was running the vac/blower at WOT. I may experiment with a slower speed next time. There doesn't seem to be much load on the Briggs. It shouldn't hurt to run it a bit slower. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,674 #8386 Posted 7 hours ago The new water heater in the lake house passed both the flood test and the smoke test! Got hot water there now. On to the next project - building a Murphy bed for the lake house. I've got a hardware kit that came with plans for the bed. I'll Basically be building 2 big boxes. Planning on getting that done in about a week. I'll take a day to look the pontoon over as well as the outboard, then get that into the lake first, though. We did take a dip in the lake in the hot weather a couple days ago. Wasn't really refreshing 'cause the shallow water by the shore was pretty warm. Much better to get out into the deep water on days like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
