    This is very true... There was NEVER a DIY project my dad needed to be involved with. I will never forget when I was a kid and he "stained" the deck himself. If I remember correctly I think it was somewhere between safety orange and solid fire engine red and was not at all transparent or even translucent (bye bye wood grain)... He decided to try and pressure wash it off himself... Then he hired someone that knew what they were doing haha

    I was out doing some Christmas shopping and stopped in harbor freight about an hour ago. Came across these and figured I grab one.... Along with some batteries and a French fry cutter.

    I wanna know more about that french fry cutter. Without photos it didn't happen.
    Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.

    I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.

    Those are what I used for the majority of peeling my logs. Just sharpened them to a chisel edge.

    What do you say we all pitch in $50, give it to Rod, and let him design one of these big enough for logs? It would make quick work out of milling rafters and joists.

    It happened. And if I'm too sick to attend family Christmas Sunday then it's officially mine and I'm bringing out the old Fry-Daddy.




    And a koozie that justifies my choice beverage.

    I'll be extra careful tho because RX beer and hot cooking oil could be a disaster. My neighbor almost burned her house down after she made french fries for breakfast a while back... They actually interrogated her about it but let her go when she claimed to be "a grown arse woman who can eat fries in bed for breakfast if she wants!!!"

    And the darn fireman told her the aloe she took from her aloe plant and was applying to her fresh 3rd degree burns wouldn't do anything to help.... The woman put the fire out herself before the fire truck got there and has no scars from the burns. The fire hall is about a quarter mile away.
