What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

For F@&#s sake. Trying to match my trim I did a year ago. Not working out. I can hide this piece in a closet. Now I have two coats of shellac, probably gonna be worse.

I know the feeling... Last week I had a bear tear into the siding on my house in three different areas. I had to mix three different color stains to get the right look.

Another fun day... let's never do hubs on a Ford again. All bolts out and it then took 2 cans of freeze spray, me with an air hammer behind and #1 Son pounding on the hub flange with a 5 lb for almost an hour a side to get them off.

Still a car of sorts, replaced the driver side front seat belt on my wife's 2012 Jeep JKU, took only about 30 minutes from start to drive.

Aren't you supposed to be at the lake?
 
I hired a logger to open up the view on my 11.4 acre tree farm/building site. I bought a 96 acre tree farm and developed it into nine 10+ acre lots, each with 9+ in open space timber which is a tax deferral program. This is the last lot I own, and the older I get, the less likely I am to build up there. I'm thinking about selling it in the next year or two.

I'm hip deep into master bathroom / shower remodel project. Converting a soaking tub into a walk-in shower

Im at the point , Plumbing and floor insert went in yesterday , the Schulter wallboard goes on today

Just like the cars, the proverbial snowball has gone over the hill. Once the shower is done, I get to move on to the floors and new vanity / sink top

Yippee !!!!!

Remembered that I changed the angle of the dangle on a bush hog blade before we went to camp. Figured since we're stuck at home till Saturday at the earliest I'd tackle it. "Just heat it up and straighten it with the 10lb".... who was I kidding? 12 to 15 tons in the press in numerous locations and shaped it back close enough.

I've done that for my garden tractor mower but they are not anywhere as thick as yours. It's a 50" deck....and is that rust holes I see in that deck???
 
No, it's just missing paint and surface rust. The thing is damn near new, but I've gotta stop trying to cut 1' diameter rocks.

Yeah, my neighbor keeps on running over stuff and then wonders why his zero turn cuts so bad. He runs over everything thinking it ain't hurting anything.
