Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Well, after we talked this morning I had high hopes of sneaking away tomorrow with Tony, BabyBear, and a couple fellers and coming up to visit and toGot the roof wiped down after a brief thundershower here and tacked off - roof is done. Its all up hill from here
Guess I owe Tinwoodsman a big wet sloppy kiss when I see him next! Thank's Bro!!/QUOTE]
You are welcome PB. No kiss, a simple pat on the ass will do.
Don't you mean down hill?? I thought after all the body, paint and glass work things would be easier?? ( I know...that's what I get for thinking).Got the roof wiped down after a brief thundershower here and tacked off - roof is done. Its all up hill from here
Actually I think he used new boards for the floor. At least they look new in the pictures.I saw those tail lights and instant flashback to the movie War of the worlds!. The original version. Remember the eye on the snake head?
Oh well, it is looking fantastic and that floor is perfect. I love metal but I also love wood. I wish I could work it as well as I can metal. Those old trailer floors are great, run them through a planer to take off the bottom layer, the top usually has too much imbedded trash tat will ruin the planner blades.
I suggested RENTING the unit at Home Depot Tool Rental. Here are some pictures of the equipment:Next time I do a wood floor I am sure you'll be able to smell the wood burning and see the fire - I hate working with wood period.
It was all new flooring - I used my da sander with a couple different grits BEFORE installing it and AFTER cutting it - and I am not buying any wood tool chit - period.
Once all the wood was installed and I had the center piece centered and screwed down all the remainder tongue and groove were tightly shoved together for a firm and tight seal - then screwed down - once all done I loaded up the box of da sandpaper and laid my arse on the floor and started from front to back sanding once again - this trailer flooring was not manufactured to be so nit picky on - but I did. And the whole time sanding I had the noxious smell of wood dust and red oak being sanded in my nose and in the air - disgusting smell and made me wanna puke - but I am almost done - what I will not do for my friend.
ANYHOW -Deb helped steer the K to get it out of the way so I could wash and clean up totally under the truck and in front of the garage - those are also those two engine covers with the asbestos on them. Its staying on the covers - Period.
Dug out Debs jeepy and cleaned it up and charging the batteries so I can move the K back into position. The whole time doing this I have a bodacious slab of ribs that marinaded for two days on the grille - see what your missing PB.
Here are some pics: OH by the way - today is the 60th day the K has been at my DZ.View attachment 495082View attachment 495083View attachment 495084View attachment 495085View attachment 495086View attachment 495087View attachment 495088View attachment 495089 Its also the first time the K has been moved since delivery as well - If you look at the day PB dropped it off - the steer tires have not even been moved - DAY ONE -K-18 movement.
Hmmmmm.....Maybe that's why when I went to the ATM to get a few dollars for lunch the machine flashed up a "Mister Yuck" face and said "You've GOT to be kidding!!" By the way...the machine ate my card!The most phenominal purchase from the bank of PB was the awesome floor paint for the back end. This stuff is incredable. It LOOKS just like Red Oak when its brushed on - It still leaves that stinkin smell of wood when brushed on - and the best part - it brushes on leaving all that laminate showing - just like you could see through it.
