Is that for the chip board style plywood? That piece is heavy duty in diameter. I actually think you had a "rod knocking" with that piece LOL

Looks I better start wrapping it up for the day, some rain on it way, it's nearly on top of me. Rain day tomorrow. I have about a week left before the temps drop to the 40's.

Hope those 30's don't blow this way yet fellas, it doesn't look like it. Perhaps it'll warm up a bit for you guys before the deep freeze roots in. Not sure what's happening beyond the 23rd out this way.....yet!.

20's at night, Brew, so I have to get busy draining the rain barrels and fabbing up an alternate drain line for the downspouts. I was planning to sink a vertical piece of 4" PVC and connect it to an underground run of corrugated to exit away from the garage, but it may be getting too late for that. It may be just a couple of pieces laid out on the ground, now.

EDIT: I'll take that comment back... he doesn't have A/C. But I'm sure he must have heat.

Probably a pulper, would be my guess.

That went to hell pretty quick, didn't it?



EDIT Numero Dos:

They just emailed me back. Looks like I'm on my own for the sprayer, LOL.

I don't know about AC or heat.
I do know that someone painted sperm all over the intake plenum.

At least it doesn't sound like you have to go too deep with that corrugated.... if you can lay them on top and they still drain. A little chilly for a 6" or so trench though, sounds like you might need a pick before too long with those temps.

Well.. if my knee is any type of weather predicting instrument, I'd say it's going to snow. It is NOT happy since I got home.
