What did you accomplish today?

The Northstars are actually really great motors once you fix the head gasket issue. Gm spent A TON of money engineering them to compete against the euro luxury engines. Even with a head gasket failure they keep on running because of the fail safe mode which only fires every other cylinder, pulling only air through the other cylinders, which is enough to keep it cool enough to run.

A quick search of Oahu Craigslist shows a ton of 2010+ cars for $5K or under. Lots of Nissan and Toyotas, I'd be looking at something like this
https://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/d/honolulu-2010-nissan-altima-25s/6927149153.html

i have issues with nissan my altima had a lot of problems in the 4 year span both big and small and it was new. it literally had a big issue right off the lot that we didn't catch before signing papers unless they did something to the car idk.

i just wanted something different already drove nissans for years i dont mind um but it's meh. i like nissans atm only for one thing which is cause the dealership is close to my house i can get it fixed without driving far. other dealerships are further away and individual mechanics idk might charge more for a sloppier job idk.

I scored a breeder pack of Elephant Stomper for $10. I feel that carries so much weight that I have to take a nap.

I went to change the hang on toilet cleaner thingy and it turned into a full blown bathroom scrubbing. I just need to mop the floor now, I'll wait till later to do that, it's supposed to rain at some point this afternoon. I'm gonna price out new shower fixtures, some cheap flooring, paint and maybe a vanity. I'm not doing a full remodel, but it's getting cleaned up. I'm sick of old wallpaper and uneven cement floor filler from when I repaired the rotted joists. The worst part is the walls are 75% covered in 1950s pastel pink tile, so I kinda need to work around that, or paint the tile, which I've never seen painted tile look good, imo. If I ever own the house it'll get a complete tear down to the studs then a radiant heat floor, handicap style open concept bathroom, with bidet toilet and a urinal. It's how every bathroom should be built.

That toilet looks super complicated...

Be sure to design in the Library Case for next to the toilet

I had to screen shot that!! Dam thats pimp you gave me an idea in stead of a groan not like between the legs but ceiling.
using real wood i kinda feel bad about loving woodworking i just started but the piece over the mirrors is so asome... I never finished the inside of that groan with pebble stone!! Dude was penny pinching to death. But that looks so much better.

Looking good man. Are you sticking tiles to the arches? Or?
Usually we would frame them arches out of metal. 1.5” and 3/4” cold rolled channel. Tie some diamond mesh to it and let the plasterers do their thing.
I sure as hell don’t miss that durorck shit. I spent almost the whole first year I got into my trade, back in ‘92, hanging 4x8 sheets of durock . When I got to hang some shitrock it was like nothing. But it all helped fuck my back up.

Got inspection on monday for the first pour.

I just finished laying out and putting in the anchor bolts and holdowns.
First time i’ve used “school forms”. They’re fucking badass. My buddy who does allot of concrete convinced me to rent them because how rocky the earth is here.

As soon as the first pour is done, next saturday, and I return the forms the monday, i’m going fishing. For like 5 days straight.

I don’t think i’ll ever be done picking up the pieces from that fucked up piece of shit fire. Look what it did to the FV-Trollitup
This is just the outboard. It also burned the fuck out of some seats

It’s the pontoons turn to get fixed up now. Just brought it home.

I guess it could have been worse right? They did survive(new name for boat FV-Survivor) so i am greatful.

 

[Grandpapy]

Still run ok? I'm hoping ( I have a 90 salt water edition)

Be sure to tape up that hole by your spark plugs!

 

[Aeroknow]

Last one. Got some landscaping done in the front yard. We got this done early this morning finally! Lots of stuff done today. Feelin good, and I haven’t even cracked a beer yet!

Should make for a pretty sweet view out the front of the trailer here in a few months lol.

It is deader than a doornail. Gotta plug it in to charge first. I’m dying to find out

there has been a great run of salmon all season outside the gate. Best in 10 years.

 

[curious2garden]

What toilet you getting? I need to replace ours in the main restroom

I got an American Standard Cadet 3. It's a decent toilet that's been around for awhile.

They upped the limit back to 2 up here on the rivers again and they extended the season to end of october for the feather

When you going?

 

[Lethidox]

went to the beach to walk the doggies. decent waves but good day to go surfing hot as shit though. just reading some news right now waiting for my lights to kick back on so i can do some pruning. my aunties bf next door bought a new corolla well it's not new but beat up. out of my aunties bf's i like him the most cause he is respectful and like us he lost his dad when he was young as well. my other aunties bf who parks on our side of the house all the time is a douche he don't even acknowledge us to say hi. my grandpa calls him a loser XD. kinda cool though cause since he bought the car he has been fixing it up so i'd be interested to see where he takes it over time maybe get some ideas.

Why all the strapping? The only place I needed some was at the short walls by the door. Edit, the vertical ones.

40’ x 50’ mostly sheer 12’ high walls.
It’s what the engineer wants. The engineer made me do it.

I guess that's the difference with 8' walls.

I may have to go for pinks this year.
It's hard to catch em while they're still healthy enough to eat, but they're always good for eggs (bait for later).

I know where they spawn and can catch them until my arms are sore.
It gets old after a while and the river smells like rotten fish, so there's that...
