That's the series I have L2800, not too big to use around the yard but big enough to do anything I need. It's all I use to cut the grass here and at my sisters house a couple miles away, and many other things. With attachments, it's very handy, I never got the backhoe, it cost almost as much as a tractor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there are around 10,000 of them back ordered at this point. That the kind of thing I was thinking of. Probably looked good on paper and testing but when some things get in the real life things pop up. It's a wonder cars even work as well as they do considering how complicated they have become, it's a computer on wheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean we act older than that, well at least we don't have wheelchair races yet, but if we had them there's no telling. But your right, I know some had birthdays we didn't realize, so Happy Birthday if we didn't know. It is a privilege to have one. This is the oldest I have ever been. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, lol, must say am joking as aging by myself with you all. Do recall now you 60 last one, so, now we can talk about something else.

Moderators dtel Posted February 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2019 61 now but your right time passes and you find yourself old, it's ok. I was telling a son in law once if there is a problem they will first look at the younger guy not worrying about the old guy, we can get away with more, thanks. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your words are valid, in my mind , no doubt yet instill your experience with a future life. Your life. When life in it's form has always been in a threat to it's existence, yet we prod along brave as we are. Have not many doubts as to youth fibre in our country from my point of view. Optomistic yet somehow guarded...BTW, you are a young man... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Installed a new exhaust vent/light in the upstairs bath. The new one was smaller so required some framing and drywall patching. Damn I'm so obsessive with getting a pro like job when I'm not one. Fiddled with the patch for the third day now. Thought it was fairly smooth till I put the first coat of paint over it😒 Let the paint dry and a little more sanding........... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yea Chuck you have to let that mud dry overnight if it is even slightly thick. Been there and done that.... but never again. All the other contractors wherever NC, SC, or FL all feel the same and they don't have to say it out loud either. It's "Don't worry `bout it, the painters will fix it" Kinda like warped respect, they knew we could/would fix it especially when they cut into our allotted time. But the d!%k-fers didn't lose a bit of sleep putting it off on us! Electricians, no maybe carpet-layers or tile guys were the worst! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of those looks easy but it's not things, I hate floating or patching drywall. If all else fails and you have bad dreams about it make a small wooden frame to cover it and put the cover over it, it will look like you went the fancy route. This part of the reason we textured the walls to look like the old rough stucco walls, I would still be trying to float. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover everything with mud and use a DA sander to flatten it out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
