I'll change the thread title to something else depending on what happens in couple of days time. Welcome to the 37th week of March 2020 and I'll just like to say the Cursed Outback finally worked. Hope is NOT a lie and also 2020 can happen to bad people too. Now excuse me I have another Subaru to try and resurrect.

I'll say the second best thing about having IK powers is I can edit the thread tag if I am a idiot and forget it. The coolest is handing out Car / cat sixxers. The more rap sheets filled with cool cars and cute kitties the better

to say I am nervous about this month's edition of "how will 2020 gently caress us" is a significant understatement.

Ow ow ow ow ow gently caress Leg ownership is an overrated pain in the rear end. I got an ankle fusion, so it's not like this was unexpected, but it doesn't make being off my feet for the next 10-13 weeks any easier. I have a titanium rod that runs down the length of my tibia. My surgeon was going to remove it as part of the surgery, and apparently they fought with it for three hours and called in several other surgeons before deciding that it can stay where it is.

If y'all aren't watching Bargain Racement, you need to get on it. Watching the Bad Obsession boys race glorified shopping carts is giving me the itch.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Yeah it takes an artist to restore terrazzo, but when it's done right it looks amazing. Mine is so far gone it would cost a small fortune to restore Oooof, yeah that terrazzo is hammered. Did you even bother to quote it? There are only two outfits I can find in the St. Louis area that deal with it, due to the relative rarity of terrazzo here. I’ve been afraid to engage cause I know both of them target large jobs. Most of the terrazzo round here is in municipal buildings and the like. I’ve got maybe 600sqft. So I figure a job like mine isn’t worth their while and I’ll get quoted heavy. Anyway, mine just needs a polishing and reseal. There are a few stains in places as well.  On your dust issue, I’d consider a humidifier. I wouldn’t even be shy about hosing things down a bit. Might kill the vacuum operation though. Wet thinset dust sounds like a quick way to kill a vacuum.

Cracking little car, with the way they use space inside i'd say they're the spiritual successor to the original mini. I have therefore been watching Bargain Racement in utter glee. meltie fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Nov 1, 2020 |

Anyway, mine just needs a polishing and reseal. There are a few stains in places as well. Haven't had it quoted because the wife wants a plank floor. I know that just a polishing and reseal isn't cheap so a full restoration for 1200 sqft would be up there compared to just putting plank over it. I know that in the carpeted area has been carpeted multiple times with strips pried out and new ones put in so there's giant chips in it everywhere from the nails being pounded into it. If it was just dull with stains i'd have it done, but with all the gouges in it now it might have to be completely resurfaced and I can't imagine doing that while living in the house. The planks I can do on my own a little at a time, one room/area at a time. You might want to look into doing it yourself, the biggest cost is a diamond coated pad for a buffer and then you just buff the poo poo out of it until it's were you like it then put some sealer on it. Using a buffer isn't hard it's just time consuming. Dealing with holes and gouges is the hard part trying to match the existing floor just right, but if you don't have that to deal with just buff away until it's nice and shinny. [e] as far as the dust issue, I thought about spraying it down but then it would just make everything muddy and I think the dust left over is the lesser of the two evils, I feel like I can at least control things a bit better with a helper and a shop vac. If I were doing it all by myself I would probably spray it down tho. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Nov 1, 2020 |

Wife is running for state rep in N.H. today for about the 6th time someone stole a Biden sign, ripped it up and dumped it on my lawn. Joke is on them since it has happened a lot I moved a blink camera out front and I have a face, truck and plate on video.

In my efforts to stay out of the news, I bro'd out with my friends yesterday. I've been bitching about this big rear end blackberry bush since I moved home (it goes all the way back to the fence line): In an effort to motivate me, a buddy texted friday night and said "so are we attacking that blackberry bush tomorrow?" And I agreed. 4 friends showed up and we hacked away at it with various tools. We got about 3/4 of the way through it when one friend said "you know this would be a lot easier in like 6 weeks when it's dormant and dry and the leaves have thinned out". The others agreed and they started laughing. I was like "You're the guys who live here with yards and should be telling me this poo poo". I haven't ever done yard work except basic lawn mowing, and for the most part have always lived in either apartments or my townhouse where landscaping was done for me. We hacked it almost all down anyway:  The entire fence line in the distance to the left also has massive blackberry overgrowth but it's in the shade so it's far less dense, and will be really easy to deal with compared to this. I started on it, and pruned a couple dead branches off some trees back there as well. All this is a result of my mom being the family gardener, and she just got too old to do it starting around 2010, and she passed away in 2015. Since then my dad hired lazy assholes to half-rear end it, so it's out of control. It's really nice to have multiple friends to help, I haven't had that in a long time.

Since we're posting pets, for those of you not on AI slack, I took in a stray kitty about a week ago.  She got a clean bill of health from the vet, who's posted her picture online to the local lost pet groups, because we're pretty sure she was a pet. Haven't seen any lost cat signs in the area she came from, which is actually a common drop-off for unwanted pets. Super friendly, but she gets a little bitey sometimes. E: Her name is provisionally Janine.

Its out.  As much as I didn’t want to hook the bush hog up again, it would wound up being my only diy option. I finished that section and called it a day. I will mow the rest with goats and 2-4d in the spring.

  we moved our cats (10 and 2yrs) into our in-laws house where we will live while we finish building. We thought this could go sideways as they have a kitten, that I rescued half dead at 7 weeks old. Here our 10 year old long hair bonds with their 1 year old short hair in a game of furious bird-watching. It’s funny after just a few days the oldest and youngest cats are running around and playing together like crazy. Our 2 year old cat stays hidden in the shadows. In fact the 2 year old cat lays on her back submissively whenever the kitten even glances at her. Guess we know who’s boss.
