Subject: Re: SUNDAY THE 17TH by teebee on 2019/3/17 14:49:12 Morning guys...MIA yesterday. The weather was nearly perfect, 61 for a high and very light breeze. I had a little job to do for Father. He had asked me to make a new top for the table in his basement...where he has meetings with other priests/families in mourning/church council/etc. So, I had figured out a solution that would be inexpensive and relatively easy. The table top was going to be 5' x 10'. The problem is/was both set of stairs are enclosed and end at the bottom against the basement wall and four "winders". No way to get a full 5 x 10 top down there, actually, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to take a 5 x 5 down. With the help of Rosie and Father we were able to get the two halves in the basement. Then I had to put the two halves together and prep it for the Formica. If you've ever put Formica down, you know that is a BIG piece to try and man-handle. Also, I only use the "good" glue.....the smelly solvent based stuff, and in an enclosed basement the fumes just hung in there and making me light-headed. A hundred plus, square feet of the glue 'flashing off' puts lots of fumes in the air. Waiting then for the glue to flash, I headed outside to clear my head. About 30 minutes later The 3 of us are able to lay it out and stick it. Then the edging had to go on. By the time I got it finished up it was after 3 and church at 4 just barely left enough time to go home and clean up. After church we went back over to finish cleaning up. Rosie then came home and I backed the pickup out so she could put the first round of fertilizer on the lawn and I took the pickup down to the car wash to clean off all the road grime and crap from all the snow we've had. The chemicals they use made all the chrome (wheels, bumpers, trim and running boards) yucky. Washing wouldn't take it off. I had to get the polisher out with some mild, mild abrasive polish to clean all that crap off. Today, the plan is to clay-bar the pickup and give it a coat of wax and wash the Caddy. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's Sunday! |
