For the first time in a long time, I don’t have any guns to trade or sell.
I mean nothing I would actively try to sell anyway. I am not attached to one but I suppose that I would trade it for something else but I actually should keep it.
Huh, unusual situation for me. Guess I will just acquire the parts I need to build a 20 inch upper and assemble a lower I have hanging around.
Honestly, it has been 20 years since I have been in this position.
I hate mill scale on flat plate. I never want to see my angle grinder again. I'll be at it again in about 10 minutes.
You gonna do another project in progress, pictorial ?Quote:

Looking like a Winter Wonderland. [Coffee]
Got to be the wettest spring in a long time.
The trees have no idea what to do.
There are white trees (cherry blossoms?) actually shedding leaves in mass.
Meanwhile, I see no sign of life out of a lot of trees.

May the fourth be with you.
Revenge of the fifth.
This is the May

The Moose Rhubarb is emerging!
Fortunately the moose don't like eating rhubarb but will happily fertilize it.

Very cool and good to know... Moose scat, big pellets. Deer scat, smaller pellets. I think I have seen both on the trail, but can now differentiate them.
Very sorry to hear it.Quote:

They can be round, cylindrical or like Hershey Kisses drops.Quote:

Scatology can be fun!
But how is the Rhubarb?Quote:

They look like pinto beans... in a way.
Now I know not to trust a moose burrito.
I kinda noticed that there are rarely any argument or heated debates here lately.

Stuff gets deleted.
I see...
I guess post getting deleted might be better than partial thread ban or perma ban.

Watching the price of lumber. I'm wondering if i should sell my house, for parts
I need 3 - 2?12?8 and 2 - 2x12x10 for new stairs to cellar.
The sum of the whole is less than the makeup of its parts, eh? We're looking to get a significant length of fencing replaced. The current price of lumber makes going with a synthetic not quite the sticker shock it may have been in the past.Quote:

If you're talking about that white syn stuff. Where it looks like normal fencing, unless it's decorate, don't. We have a syn fence on what we call the front yard, it keeps the pups in, when we have the main fence open. Outside looks and maintenance , it's not something i would sit, or lean on. Then again i grew up, like most of us, where a fence was just there for you to sit on.Quote:

A vinyl fences is given a useful life of 150 years, so the depreciation on repairs is generally minimal.
Like Master James said, vinyl is purely decorative.
Out here, wood rots quite rapidly. Hail isn't an issue. UV isn't as much of an issue either.
Do you want it for decorative, of function?Quote:

here's a link showing the fencing, to give you an idea what it looks like. Maybe later today i'll see about getting a picture of our fence. Unfortunately no options are cheap. But some have a longer life expectancy than others. With the steel pipe, and drier conditions down here. It will probably last another 20-30 years. And the most popular fencing in use.
Yes the syn is nice and aesthetically pleasing to look at. But as a real fence, eh my dog could break thru it if they wanted to.
