Meter door break-in – Update
The plan is to add spacers and 2 1/2″ screws so the lock will fit correctly.
When I was trying to install the spacer I broke my wrench. Of course this was the only socket that fit and I have an incomplete socket set. What bad luck. I learned some more important lessons today: 1) Drills can catch when drilling steel. I have a busted finger to prove it. 2) A vise would be nice to have because pliers can slip off the steel and get caught in your shirt and bruise and cut your boobs.
Hamilton Changer problem
Coin jam, I had to dump the bucket. This is my Dad’s wash, I do not use my changer as a safe.
QPR Permanent pavement repair – Update
Not really sure what this stuff hardens to, but you can rub the stuff off. Maybe I should try another brand? It has been 7 days since it was installed.
Pressure washing the front
Somehow about as much mud was in the front drive as the bay. I also tried to clean the curb out of the wash. I did not know that there was a curb where all the weeds are.
Meter door break-in – Update
If installed correctly, each SuperSleeve should hold 2800 pounds. I installed two correctly?
First, I drilled the holes for mounting to the SuperSleeves. Then I bent the steel to install. It was bent at an angle so you can close the door easier.
Drilled, grinded then dremeled, in that order, end result last picture.
This is where the problem arised. The lesson is measure three times and drill once? But, I messured twice and drilled twice, both crappy. I think I am just going to start over tomorrow.
Meter door break-in – Update
Received my timers from Greg today. It was a pretty good deal. 11 D&S timers, 5 wire harnesses and directions for $100. Thanks, Greg!
DeWalt Grinder D28402K review
My DeWalt grinder came damaged from Home Depot. Oh no, I was not the one to mess it up first! This is the only grinder that came in a case, which was a requirment because I lost the last grinder blade removal tool and some blades.
I really like the latch on the guard. This is alot better then my last fixed bolted guard.
This “switch thing” to activate the grinder is great. I will never purchase one unless it has this. My last grinder had a switch which was annoying to try and turn it off. Then the last picture is the lock to unscrew the blade which it great also. This grinder is so much better then my last grinder, I love it. The only problem is I could have purchased 6 of my old grinders for the same price. Then I would not need to change the blades out I could just grab the other grinder.
This guy stole my Dad™s garbage can lid – Update
A confidential source ratted out Charles aka Santa Clause (scrap yard nickname). I also looked at some pictures of Hall Avenue (http://cwguy.com/?p=1091) I took in August 2006 and he was going through the dumpster and wearing the same outfit. (Original post: http://cwguy.com/?p=1859)
Thanks confidential source.
Pressure washing the front again
God helped me a little today via the pouring rain. But, I finished the majority of the front.
