I like this time at night on HBT

Yeah, I can see how a chop saw would be your only solution with that depth. Just cut slow and easy to avoid ragged edges.

 

[CKuhns]

I have done a few. Chop saw with a good blade 60 teeth seems to work pretty well.

Anyone ever lay flooring? I'm replacing all the wood in my house (gluedown), and carpeted bedrooms, with vinyl planks. Working on it tonight (taking a break from it at the moment actually). It's going well, but I expect the project to explode into chaos and disappointment at any moment (as per our usual arrangement).

My stepdad was a flooring guy. Had his own business. I tagged along a few days when we moved back home from overseas, just to contribute. Every part of his day was far beyond my abilities, from lugging heavy buckets of grout to hauling boxes of stone tiles. That elegant sapphire was HARD WORK! After we were done for the day, and I could barely reach my inner nostril to scratch it, he'd split a pile of firewood one-handed like it was nothing, then haul it into the house like it was the evening times. It was then that I realized how weak I truly am.

I don't think there's any way to do the stuff I have except chop saw

I've installed similar flooring to what you have, You are on the right track with the chop saw, only additional thing I did was use some cheap painters tape on the surface where you want to make the cut and it will save a lot of burred edges (top and bottom). Also a fine toothed sharp carbide blade will help to get a clean cut.

Dan is doing fine. He got 100% sober over a year ago. This place, naturally, is not conducive to that LOL.

Thank you!!

I'm doing my best. The GC on the job (wife) is looking over it all the time. Starting in this one room.

Looks like it went well. My same flooring I believe. Actually pretty easy once you get started.

I find the term "tongue and groove" pleasantly titillating.

...until you get to "random length"

"titillating" is titillating. It's that sort of self-resonance that causes bridges to fall.

 

[Jayjay1976]

'Cashmere' is the single most pleasantly me word in the whole English glöckenspiel.

That word has a mustache that I just wanna punch one time. Na'mean?

 

[Kent88]

Yeah, I prefer Marino. Never tried cashmere and it sounds like just an expensive material where one doesn't get a terrific return on their expense.

I dunno, George. I'm sure it's a good material, I'm just more focused on practicality than fashion. But I won't yuck anyone's yum for liking it.

 

[Kent88]

Jayjay how do you feel about Angora rabbit hair material?

Hey late niters, hope all is well. Here's a little ditty for your late night soundtrack

Here you go. Your late nite soundtrack. Feed that worm.

I recently discovered the Stones album "Sticky Fingers." It's great and it suits my mood lately.

I’m a tad confused at how any adult human being could just now discover “Sticky Fingers”. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the Muzak version of “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” at Walgreen’s.
You ever heard the album “Black and Blue”? Stones had a reggae phase in the mid 70s. One of my faves. If you like SF you would like it.

I'm more of a beatles guy?

I had the zipper album. But, music is so different now than when we used to haul azz to the record store the day the album arrived. digital media -> napster/limewire -> streaming. So long, concept album.

Who remembers buying an album that came with a huge doobie rolling paper!

I remember using pages from the bible, but ymmv.

That explains it. I was wondering if it involved a coma or Turkish prison or something.

Beatles are great from like "Rubber Soul" forward.

Cheech and Chong's "Big Bambu". Makes my eyes red just thinking about it.

The type of paper is right. I'd have to go Old Testament. Seems like a slightly less blasphemous buzz...

I've been really feeling my age lately. 48 next month. My short term memory is starting to flicker, I know long covid is a factor but I'm trying to forgive myself for the time that's passed and just accept I won't always be as razor sharp as I once was. I'm between jobs ATM and it's an uphill climb. I'm just trying to stay positive, trust the process, and allow myself to enjoy the last half hour of the day as I lay in bed waiting for sleep. Grateful for this place, and for all of you.

Jayjay, I appreciate what you bring to this corner of the internets.

Wife and I visited her elderly parents up in PA this weekend. I kinda dread these trips because I'm stuck in the old people's home.

But it was pretty awesome being away from all my projects etc, and forced to sit and watch golf and football a lot Super-relaxing weekend.
