Speaking of buses....

There was a thread around here (FABO) recently where some people used AI to generate Rat Fink-esque picture of their cars.

I don't know how to do it, but it seems to me a Rat Fink bus would suit this place!
 
Had to get my body moving this morning, stress is a bad thing for us old farts.. thats a good looking breakfast @MOPARMITCH
I did my workout earlier this morning around 7am. Now I have added some TaiChi movements to my routine. Only been a few days but I can already tell the difference. You should check out TaiChi moves. Aint hard to do and I'll bet you get results. Helps with many ailments, including stress. Provides great energy also..... :thumbsup:

Yep, I do the body wave thing a bunch, and I agree TaiChi is something Very good to fallow, thanks for the reminder brother, I have not even thought about it in a year I bet.
 
Ohhhh I hate suspense. Contractor brought over all the equipment last night but hasn’t broken ground yet. I’m anxious as hell for that to happen. I’m not a patient person lol
 
Recent TV commercial made me curious. It stated that the advertising cell phone company had 600 satellites giving it coverage everywhere. Yes! The advertiser is in league with StarLink/SpaceX.
 
His operators are probly still tied up on another job.
Oh yeah. Most definitely. Just super anxious. Once the basement is in, theoretically, I can physically build the rest of the place should it be required. It’s the basement that I lack the digging and grading experience to do correctly.
 
I don't recall the name of the stuff we used at SLC6 Vandenberg, but it was applied with a trowel like you was plastering a wall. Some kind of tar.
 
Seal them walls up real good before you backfill.
Seconded. We get a "funny smell" in one of the finished rooms of our full height (depth?) basement when the rain comes in at a certain angle. Bad landscaping and drainage outside? Most definitely! Inadequate wall prep/treatment done on the exterior of the foundation to combat (or at least minimize) this? Yup! (Original contractor must have said, "Uh....What's that?")

This wasn't caught on the Inspection 3 years ago, so it's just one more thing I have to fix.
 
:lol: The walls I was backfilling at SLC6 were on the PPR Building "Payload Preperation Room" :lol: For cryin' out loud! The walls were 3' thick 6 sack poured in place concrete! How is water gonna get through that? :lol: "Plans say it get's sealed."

10 inch walls. M10 grade concrete (m2 is typically standard for homes) with added fibers and water resistance additive used in water towers. Externally coated for water resistance plus Dual perimeter drains, and back filled with gravel, then dirt.

4 sump pumps , one in each corner.


Yes, it is WAY overkill. But the cost was worth it and seeing the water issues my parents dealt with in their basement. Granted I’m much higher and on top of a hill.
 

Now my FB feed is all messed-up, as I'm getting hits for stuff like this:
