Progress made still a fair bit of work left.



Im going to fill the holes with glowing resin and do some kiwi related inlays filled with the resin as well. Just waiting on products to arrive.

This is what the glowing resin looks like.


I've seen that used in a few projects and it's cool stuff.

This is some amish type quality right there. Unbelievable man. Well done.

Just spent an hour getting 1 wheel off of this BMW. An hour! 1 wheel! First the dumbass thing has special lug nuts with ridges on them. A 12mm fits it and gets them off, but then I had to take a fucking torch to the thing to get it out of the socket because it was wedged. It didn't help that whoever put these things on must have had the torque set at 200 lbs. Christ. After a bunch of cursing I found the "special" socket in the glove box and the other 4 lugs were uneventful - although I did have to use a 4' cheater bar to get them lose. I've had axle nuts that weren't as tight as these lugs.

Then I tried to get the tire off. Yeah right. Fuck me. Completely seized up. Yes, that's a sledge hammer in the first picture. Don't judge me! I tried a bat too - Babe Ruth style. Nothing worked. Even tried lowering it down on a 2x4 to let the weight of the car pop it off. Nope.

Drenched that bitch in PB Blaster, drank a beer, then crawled under the car and kicked that bitch like Van Damme. It finally popped off after about 25 or 30 lethal blows.

Man, I hate working on cars where I don't know the previous owner. Ever hear of anti-seize you fucking douche!

Done with my rant. On to the brakes.

Hahaha dude it sucks.

I remember our old work van popped a tire before and while we were switching it out it came to tightening the lugs back down a 350+ co worker of mine started cranking those fuckers down as hard as he could. No even pattern either I was like dude wtf

Over tightening pisses me off. The amount of my life wasted wanting to beat the shit out of people while trying to unfuck a fastener or bolt that was seemingly installed by the rock on bath salts, is too damn high!

After a slow start to the year i just finished my 4th house in 3 months. This one was only 2300 sq feet. Took 2 of us 10 days which is a personal record. The tiny roof helped! The area i build in has some ridiculous cut up, steep piched roofs.

Again, I'm not sure what constitutes Manliness.
I'll just have to leave that up to the finer members.

I just took chopping the cherry tree to level two, begin stacking it after sawing it up, then I got sidetracked and started chipping blocks for the smoker, then I thought, why not smoke a bratwurst, have a beer, carve a pipe and relax?

Refinishing my deck. Rented a sander that I'm about to take back and then get going on the small areas and upright stuff.

I hit snooze on my alarm then woke up 3.5 hours later. Rolled into work wearing a dazed and confused t shirt


Just like this one
