Another one done.
I'm sure you do. I'm the table. I hope nothing else gets added on.
I'm sure you do.
OK. I will be back. Have to drop him off to his mother, so she can take him to an appointment then she can drop him back off to me to night. So rinse and repeate tomorrow.
I went to Downing and grabbed a drawer so I could match up the stain for the bed footboard I repaired. Either the lighting is bad in Menards (YEP) or my eyes aren't all that good. (well that too) I bought 2 different pints of stain that looked close according to their samples and both were a mile off. I went to the paint store and the young guy is going to try to get closer with a custom blend. He said the old guy that retired after 50 years could match perfectly and he said his match (the young guy) might not be very close. For $20 I will give the lad a chance. I told him he will never get good at it if people don't give him a chance.
Worth the 20 bucks just for the education for the kid.
My thought exactly.
I will just leave this here............................
He was trying to talk me out of it I first thought but he just wanted me to understand that her may be able to get it close but I shouldn't expect perfection. I told him I am confident he can come closer than the 2 samples I tried. He'll do fine.
A 24' tandem truck. Probably a couple hundred thousand dollars. Empty. You have to screw a lot of people every month just to make the truck payment.
It is not my place to tell anyone how to spend their money. I have plenty of tools from the tool trucks, but there is no way in hell I will pay $750 for a torque wrench.........................
I have these and they are great...............................

Yeah, I subscribe to him and my wife hates him talking....................................
I paid over $800 for my last paint gun and I'm not sure what the difference in a torque wrench is but spraying a car with a cheap paint gun could cost more in material having to redo it than the good paint gun. Just my 2 cents.
I agree Fred, with the right tool for the job...................
Now there are 102 ways that windmills can screw stuff up.

They're building windmill towers north of me and lots of truck traffic hauling blades. They must work really good if a wind could slide the dolly trailer that far in the wind. Or maybe the dolly trailer had a brain fart and decided to clear traffic on the other side of the road. LOL
