How do I identify these keys? There is an antique mall in town and one of the dealers has hundreds of old rear end keys.

The figure 8 in the handle, Corbin and Sxx stamped in are the best way. I would love some S24s or S6s if you find them but no obligation. E: the third pic in my last post is the best for this. S22s work too but I would prefer 24 or 6.

I go antiquing with my mom about once a month so I will dig through the key boxes next time we go there. Maybe I'll get lucky!

I'm guessing that that second stringer was done by someone who made an out-of-square template and just blindly used it, and if they did realize how bad it was their attitude was "gently caress it, I'm not doing all that work again".

Huh, I didn't know that Radium was a carpenter on the side.

Do you also own the hangar or is it a shared rental sort of thing?

this is totally true. Most home buyers are easily influenced by smells, fresh flowers, and clean, nicely arranged furniture. Higher end places often rent furniture for showings. Agents often bake cookies to make the house smell nice. And that poo poo works.

We moved a ton of our poo poo to storage for our sale and our realtor staged what we left. We also burned candles for 48 hours prior and it smelled wonderful. Not that it stunk but we have cats.

I cannot believe it looks like a house.

I'm offended honestly.

In my head I always thought you lived like 40 miles from any other living soul.

He'd probably make more stripping the house for parts.

Amazing.

I feel you on the pain, I did a room for my sister and I limped for 3 days. I genuinely wish I lived close to where you're moving as I'd love to spend some time helping you on your next project.

Not only that, the loving glue costs half as much as the flooring! I mean it's pretty thick durable stuff but drat. I think I'll probably use engineered flooring in the next place.

I just got halfway through doing the conduit and junction box install for the lighting and outlets on the front porch, time to call it a night. No pics because it is oh-dark-thirty.

How long ago did you buy that flooring?
