Haven't really shared what I've been working on in my house since it has taken so long and still not done.

Horrid slate, held down with expanded metal grout, on linoleum, on subfloor. Started taking it up July 1st 2023. 1989 built house. Some subfloor was damaged before slate was put down that was easiest fixed by changing out to wider sliding glass door. Putting pergo down and changing base boards. Eventually putting pergo on stairs, 4 of which have one open end.

Old crap

Old door. Stupid trim crap was on both sides. None sealed.

New door.

No pics with new base boards up yet. That wall section is fixed and base boards that match the floor is there. Daisy browsing around.

So true. Working on the latest remodel project (reference the retired guy thread). Hardwood floor with old linoleum glued to it. Then on top of that was 1/8" plywood nailed down and vinyl flooring on top of that.

And going the other direction is this. So far I have counted six different types of flooring in this house. It was built in 1957 and they just put new flooring on top of the old. And then the probably wondered why the floor wasn't level.

Did that shit all the time. WTF is the prybar for?

Stupid tree.











Just a great big waste of good firewood.

Would make a few nice gun stocks too! Oh, and a cutting board.

Funny.
Once lived in the taxpayer appt just above the Rock Shop on the left of that picture.

Folks who owned it were very nice and great to rent from for a young fella.

Not a large enough area to justify using something like this. Also I would have to drive 60 miles each way to rent one. By the time I picked it up and returned it, I would probably have more time in driving than it took me to remove the old flooring.

Haven't been there in 30 years. There used to be a Dairy King right off the interstate that was supposedly haunted.

I have been there, drive around on way to go ice skating on Dillon reservoir. Ice cracked across the lake, sounded like a bomb went off.

Doesn’t matter. 415 HP is not enough when
You could have 500!

And 500 is not enough if 600 is doable.

More HP. More torque.

No matter what you have, more is better!

Like my dad always said, some is good, more is better, and too much is just right. But it's all in how you look at it, and power to weight ratio is more important than just a huge HP number. My little homebuilt 7 weighs 1300lbs, and with around 200hp has the same power to weight ratio as the original Hellcat, about 6.5 lb/hp. Sometimes that feels like plenty, even on 10" wide slicks.

I took it to lunch on the slicks once, and drove it like I was on course, that was an eye opening experience to see the difference between it and normal traffic. Gotta love small towns where you used to be able to get away with stuff like that. My street tires are Toyo R888's and the slicks were a huge step up from that.

Our son spent a good bit of time and effort making his Miata optimized for auto cross. It really made a difference. with R rated tires, the shocks, springs, locking differential, the times were way down. He was competitive and when I drove it, I was in the middle of the pack. (Which was a big up for me, 15th out of 30 as opposed to 28 or 29th out of 30.). I was much quicker around the auto cross course than I was with my Corvette. Even being ‘just’ a C-5, it was way more power than I could use in the tight confines of an auto cross course. I really admire the young men and women who drive those on the road course. Takes skill that I simply did not have.

so, yes, I certainly agree, R rated tires do make a huge difference, however, slicks can get a bit dicey in a downpour.

I had a Lotus7 50 years ago, before I had a drivers permit, It had a meager 1.8 out of an MGB. Modern 7's are far superior but lack the "sports car" heritage,

Just as ridiculous as 'Det. Stabler' digging a cartridge casing out of a tree (supposed to be representing a slug) on an episode of Law & Order:Organized Crime. Or a similar scenario where a casing, not a slug is seen protruding from a bullet proof vest after a character was 'shot' on the show.
