Picked up my 96 F150 from the paint shop last Fri. Took advantage of the downturn in business due to the virus. They did an outstanding job.
It's a day and night difference for almost everything. No more underbelly rust concerns for sure!I'm sure everyone knows by now, but we're moving from Oregon to our new home in Arizona on Saturday, so I'm packing everything up and getting things in order for the move. Cars are being picked up and shipped tomorrow.
I’m just hired a Financial Advisor and dumped 90% of my cash savings into an investment account. Scary shit for me but I have to do something with it.
My 7 year old son's attitude finally reached it's pinnacle the other day so I ruined his life. All electronics have been taken away, the only thing that he can watch on TV is whatever me & mom have on (pretty much local news & business shows), and I told his friends to stop coming by. He's allowed to read books, sit on the couch being bored, or do chores. We're currently on day 3 of him earning back his life.
I made him mow the lawn yesterday just because I knew it would be miserable for him. The grass looked like it lost a bet, but I didn't mind having to redo it because watching him struggle & hate life for an hour was worth it.
Damn you have a brand new house after all of that!Levelling the back yard.

My work is almost done. Next step landscaping by Ruth.
Is it maple? Are you going to stain or dye it? I haven't done a table top but I've done cabinets with Arm R Seal and minwax wipe on poly, they seem to be pretty equal in quality and color to me. I really like wiping on the thin coats if you don't have an HVLP setup.
Oh, you have one of those 7 years olds too? Our oldest is 7, and she has so much attitude and so much drama, I took away all her electronics as well. I basically did exactly what you did and told her she's going to have to earn it back.
Good on ya. A little fear and a lot of respect for your parents is a good thing.Yeah that's the route I took. Today he woke up & without any prompting he grabbed a bottle of windex & started wiping windows lol. I think he got the message.
After one day of no iPads, video games, or TV he said last night "this couldn't get any worse!". I told him before bed that I will take away his mattress & make him sleep on the floor, lock the basement door so he can't get to any of his toys, & make him ask permission to sit on a piece of furniture if he doesn't get his act together.
I have been a long time CL seller/buyer for car parts. It definitely does not get the traffic it used too. I had to learn FB marketplace because that's where everyone is looking these days...I've heard similar comments, that CL is dead, about motorcycles and parts for sale. I've read that Facebook marketplace is picking up the slack.
