Sure, if you come down and do the drywall finishing I have to do. I think about 40 sheets of 5/8" x 12' has already been hung, still have to hang about another 40 sheets and I get to mud and sand it all prepping for paint

Yea, I feel the same way and my hair is already gray, will turn white soon with all the sanding. We did a major remodel at church, a volunteer group came in, built walls, hung about half and bedded the tape on what they could. They had to leave and it will costs us over $5K just to have it finished, money we don't have. I'm the best finisher of the trustees so I kind of got elected. I am truly dreading it, don't like it and really don't have the time to do it.
Since you mentioned it, my mom's 2 1/2 story farm house needs all the box gutters/open eve's pulled and wood replaced with trim and soffet material..... com'on down since you're and expert now. :jester:

Don't worry about those 3 huge wires coming in under there from the pole, it will be alright. :ROTFL:

Last drywall job I did for money I swore I would never do any again.
We built a Funeral Home and the Drywaller couldn't find anyone to help ( learned why later) so I said I would.
Man what a job, cathedral ceilings in 3 of the rooms, etc . Got it all done painting crew showed up, the drywaller said I'll have your money tomorrow. That was 33 years ago :ROTFL:

Now for myself I don't mind too much but..............

Heading up on my roof this evening to install some copper along the ridge cap on the back side. Should help keep it cleaner

I've hung many a sheet of drywall - including the 12 foot stuff. But I've only finished a couple of walls - soon realized that isn't my "gift." The foreman of one construction crew took one look at my work and "suggested" I strap on the leg extensions and help another guy finish hanging the top two rows in a three story cathedral ceiling. Gotta say I wasn't disappointed being 'reassigned....' :BANANA:

Hey Ted, did I see you driving north through Uniontown on Cleveland Ave/Canton Road? Saw a sweet lifted KK that I'm pretty sure had a Detours Backbone winch mount. Went by pretty quick but it sure looked like yours...

Tom, what's the copper do to help keep the roof clean?

Bob

Copper is suppose to keep the mold/fungus etc off of the roof
you know the dark streaks etc you always see. Plus with all the trees I have should also keep some of the other crap from growing . Its some sort of chemical reaction when rain hits the copper

That was most likely me, I went to Kames this afternoon and took the long way home.
Still breaking in the gears even though they should've been done after 500 miles. I think they put synthetic oil in when they rebuilt the diffs. They changed the oil Tuesday and I asked them to be sure they didn't use it this time, they're getting quieter still. Now if the gear guy isn't sick Saturday, like he was Tuesday, maybe he can replace that defective trutrac. As much as I like the store, I'm getting tired of driving out there.

OK guys I just realized something.

Every single time I have to do something to this house that was not disclosed to me, I get pissed off.

Am I wrong for this? Crazy?

I don't think so...

And today I just figured out that the kitchen floor is too freaking high!!! So there's something UNDER the floor... ANOTHER FLOOR under the tile that's sitting there now. Ugh.

It's never going to end.

You can go back on the previous owner/agent and make them fix it I think.

Thats a typical thing that builders do when putting in a new kitchen floor, just use a transition strip between it and the next room unless your ripping it out for some reason.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jun 21, 2013 11:05 am

I've also ran into homes where they had hard wood throughout the living room etc then the kitchen used cheap plywood etc and laid linoleum over it since most people liked that in the kitchens. Just have to tear into a hidden corner and see what you have under it

But Jimmy Hoffa
That poor man will never be found. Last I saw him he was drinking rum drinks in Botswana

TAHOE · **Posted:** Fri Jun 21, 2013 1:23 pm

Tom, how is the copper on the roof? Strips, bars, rods, etc? My mom's house has algae/fungus all over the north side.
I know I've heard you can drive a bunch of copper nails ( if you can find them) in a tree and within a year or so, it will kill it.

Marlon, comes with the territory of a used home. I found out about 8 months after buying my house the sill plate was rotted out, had to jack up the one side of the house to replace the wood. I should've known when I saw the bead of caulk between the concrete wall and board.
When I tore up my kitchen floor, there was a linoleum floor on bottom, sheet of luan, more linoleum, another sheet of luan, then flat strip of a thick linoleum that resembled wood strips, 3 floors total.
Talk about a fun tear out :banghead:

I thought so!

I've only seen one other KK like yours and it was in a picture on Detours web site. Oh wait - that WAS yours...

You caught my eye right away. I was getting gas at the BP station right there in Uniontown and glanced up just as you were heading through the intersection. I pointed you out to my wife and she said, "He was at your Meet & Greet in February, right?" That girl is starting to learn her Jeeps! :JEEPIN:

So is the gear noise kind of a whine or more of a rumble? A neighbor has a '67 Chevelle totally tricked out with 5.86:1 rear gearing and when he takes it out for a ride you can hear the gear whine from here to the main road. But he can smoke his drag slicks up into third gear :shock:

More of a whine but it's starting to get the grumbling vibration back. They still haven't replaced the defective trutrac, that may be the problem. The noise in front is just about gone.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jun 21, 2013 7:53 pm

When are they going to switch that out for you?
Should have one in by now shouldn't they?
