Well, I suck at daily updates here recently lol. Anyway, Thursday, took inventory of all our materials and what we were gonna need to finish the #HugeDeck, and then did what we could with what materials we had on hand (the color Trex we’re using has to be ordered). Also, my trusty Kobalt 35ft tape measure gave up the ghost, I was sad to see it go. I’ve had it probably 5 years or better, and Kobalt discontinued the model. Spent several days after noticing the break starting trying to find a suitable replacement (options are slim in 35ft) and decided on the Hart “Pro Grade” because it has the fractions labeled and had some good reviews. We’ll see. Tapes are a thing where I’m a bit contrarian, I’m not a fan of the Stanley Fat Max, which seems to be the go-to. I’ve had several (my boss in the commercial gig liked them) and they seem to only last me 9 months to a year.
Friday, went to another client’s house to finish caulking their rear windows, driveway, swap out light fixture in their laundry closet, and hang some rope lights on a tree. Came home to put my spare tire on my 5x8 trailer only to find out the spare I been carrying around since I bought the trailer was the wrong rim and was missing a valve….sometimes you just need to stop and look at things y’all lol. I’m probably gonna go ahead and bump up to 5.30-12 tires, Amazon has 2 for $120, and then I’ll keep the best 4.80-12 that’s currently on it as a spare. Since each wheel is on a free spinning hub the different size spare shouldn’t hurt anything in “just get it home” situation. I’ll probably swap the axle to be mounted under the leaf springs when I do that wheel swap also.
That brings us to today; gotta start out by picking up an 8ft 4x4 and a few bags of concrete, then we get to dig holes…again. There’s about 8ft or so between the gazebo and the perimeter fence, and we gotta fill that gap so the silly dogs don’t make an escape.
