The house is empty! It took 2 guys 9.5 hours to wrap things,load the U-haul twice and transfer into the trailer.

We're mooching a dinner at a neighbours tonight. I think were having a pot roast.

Weird stuff. I thought it would be thicker. Covers very well. Went with two coats. Messy shit. Got some on my arm and it was a bitch to get off. The only thing that took it off was olive oil. 

I used some hand sanitizer and it helped a bit.

The moving truck showed up today instead of tomorrow which is ok. I rented a U-haul truck knowing there was no way to get a 53 ft trailer up the driveway. They loaded the truck up and are transferring it on the trailer. The house is almost empty and some more in the garage and they'll be done. There's only 2 guys and they've done alot in 4.5 hours. Most of that time was wrapping all the furniture etc.

isn't it always subzero up where they fly anyway?

It'll be out of power after taxiing and getting to that altitude and forget about even being put in a holding pattern or rerouting to another airport

We use it here and there at the shop and we’ve found if you poke two holes with a screw driver in the lid pour out what you need in a cup it seems to last little longer. One hole pour out of and other is vent then put two screws in the holes with the por sealing the screws threads it seems to last little longer than just cracking the entire lid but it’s if it does sit long enough it’ll completely harden.

That's a great idea! I never thought of something like that. 

I bought a can of the POR 15 and some cheap brushes. I used some of it a couple times and the 3rd time ( not long after) the shit went solid in the can. I bought another can this summer and made sure to do what I had to do all in a day. I'll check the can in the shed next week and if it's gone rock hard it'll be the last time I buy it. A can is like $80 here

E-bikes have pedals to assist with range or run out of juice. They should put pedals for the passengers lol

Congrats on the sale. I let go of my place over a year ago. Made a killing on it. My daughter sold her place for a 1/2 million more than was paid just a few years ago. If you’re going to sell, now is the time. 

We did pretty good! We paid $249K 8 years ago  and sold for just under $800K.

It was a bit chilly here last night and it dropped down to 37 F or 3 C

Frozen pizza! Not much left in the freezer or fridge to cook so we don't have anything to haul that'll have to be kept cold or frozen when we move.

Leftover oven baked sgetti/meatballs heated up in a frying pan

Prime rib roast on the rotisserie and lemon roasted potatoes in the oven

Good riddance.

The thing I don't like is they will slide off the skies.  If you add soft rubber on the surface the skies sit on helps that.

I put 2 pieces of 1x2 x18" on each front dollie and a couple screws thru the sides to hold the wood. It stopped them kicking out and easier to put under the skis
