Front Porch Chit Chat

[havasu]

The ol lady went to Trader Joe's and spent $45. She then went to Sprout's and bought $55 worth of so called food. In the entire batch, the only thing she bought that I can/will eat are bananas. Darn bean sprouts, salmon, gluten free crackers, spaghetti squash, raw almonds and the like. Looks like I'm going hungry this week.

 

[Fort]

Salmon is yummy. So is spaghetti squash.

Send her over to me. I will gladly eat whatever she makes

[Fort]

Haha I found a wayward piece on the floor. I made a little progress tonight.

I am exhausted and off to bed. Everyone sleep well and I hope to talk to y'all tomorrow. Goodnight.

Where did everyone go?

 

[buildit]

Morning. So lots of news like I'll be starting work again next week back at doing low voltage installs with a buddy of mine in retirement homes. But with the good comes the bad and I just posted about this under Paint that doesn't work. All this work repainting the house to see this is burning me up like forest fire inside.

Paint just pealing off the wall.

 

[havasu]

Did you wash with TSP prior to the painting?

 

[buildit]

Did you wash with TSP prior to the painting?

I don't know what TSP is but can say wash to remove dirt and grease. Not a lot of grease in my bedroom and soaps warm water on a face cloth dislodged the dirt.

 

[havasu]

TSP, which stands for trisodium phosphate, is a powder you mix with warm water and use to wipe down your walls before painting. It acts in three ways to improve your paint's stick-to-itiveness: Degreaser. TSP helps to remove stubborn greasy areas.

 

[Double R]

I’ve never heard of that! Good to know.
I hear you on the frustration of the paint peeling @buildit. Had the same thing happen in my bathroom.

 

[buildit]

Well, after getting my shopping and work out in I came home and attacked the area and spot checked other areas painted with this paint by roughing them up with a metal scrapper. So the area has been scrapped, sanded (dry and then wet) and spackeled. It's drying now and will get a first coat after dinner and the rolled out two hours later. If it doesn't stick now I don't know what to do.

 

[Double R]

Home at last.
Tractor is on the trailer and approximately 4 hours out........... :tractor:

 

[phideaux]

Picks as soon as possible.

 

[Double R]

Jim

Yes. Drop off new big blue, swap buckets so we don’t have to reinstall bucket hooks then load old one and take it back.

 

[Double R]

Picks as soon as possible.

For sure! Still have a few hours to wait I think. They are calling when they are an hour out.

 

[Double R]

It’s here. We’ll see how it looks in the day light.

 

[Double R]

Hey @TMT Tactical I feel ya lurking!

Is that a New Holland?

I wish. Probably would have treated us better. No it’s an LS

 

[buildit]

Don't see those in Ohio, I had to look it up. I assume utility sized, not compact?

 

[buildit]

So looking at them I found this. Slap a mower on the deal and we got a tractor for @Fort

[buildit]

I guess everyone went to bed, so I'll do the same and see you tomorrow. ;-)

 

[Peanut]

I have to ask... who built it? More importantly, who built the engine? (old school thinking). I'm happy for you though, whoever built it!

My 84 yrold dad insists on taking rolls of hay to the cows, on a Brazilian built Massy. I cringe every time I hear it fire up! I have to buy a new seat for it every couple of years so his hinny doesn't get wet!
