Original, found in Denver and I took it apart to the last screw. Blasted and repainted interior sheet metal and cast iron. Polished each screw with brass wire wheel, reassembled with only a few parts left off - pilot light system took a few years to find the right diam. tubing, then more the source the brass ferrules it needed. They still not installed, waiting for another time. (and thinking I'd installing piezo in place of it, if I can hide the button somewhere.)

Got it done, except baseboar, and now seeing it, I'll extend a darker brick red up the whole wall behind the stove.

I had to leave. Guests checked in hours after takeoff 🛫 for PR.
They said it was beautiful and will return on the next assignment here.

So far, freeform jamming, I'm sure there is a cover I don't know in there somewhere.

Let's get warmed up amigos.
Rained out on the plaza across the street, our intrepid jazz musicians have booted the karaoke DJ and taken over the back room at the bar. The bass player is my neighbor. 🎼🎺🎸🎶

@Ironworker229
Done! Whew. Thanks for asking. Now sitting in the airport ready to board the flight to my place in Puerto Rico.

What a 4+ week chore!

I went large; kitchen rehab, a 4" rebar, mesh, and concrete wrap around the base of my 125 year old brick chimney in the basement, and a new bigger electric service panel with 2 sub panels, along with some new required circuits.
Lordy, my back is killing me. Some warm sun and sand should fix me up though.

Lyft!
And no really. You're probably better off. Maybe try some e-bikes or scooters nearby if you're commuting to work. How far are you from work now? Good to see you here again. 🫶

@Minholkin
Thank you Min. You are a wonderful influence here. ✌️🫶🙏

Similar just happened in Woodland Park, CO. School board was taken over, and City council targeted, but about 51% of the mail ballots returned and ALL the authentic public servants that ran against the Charis RW Christian slate won. One of the largest, if not the largest, voter turnouts ever in the town.
The kids are alright.

That was the first color TV we owned in 1971 I believe.

Oh hell yeah. I haven't seen it since it was on originally. I just installed Pluto so that I could watch - S1:E1.
Holy crap and it's in color.
I only saw it in black and white.
That's what we had.
Cool!

But I helped him drink his wine.
Yes he always had some mighty fine wine.

Singin' JOY to the world!
All the boys and girls,
JOY to the fishes in the deep blue sea,
JOY to you and me.

Happy dead guy on a stick weekend folks!
.
Wait, he's not dead yet?
Or...still?
.
Risen again, is he?
Right.
.
Ah, oh, hello again there JC 👋
Now there's a surprise! Good to see you.
I'd ask how you're hanging, but I guess you're over that part, aye?
.
Well, since you're up, get me some more wine will you?
.
That's a good fella.

Dude gives me 🧟‍♀️vibes.

12 hr day so far, probably have another hour or 2 in me after a beer and some food. Removed cheap old dining room flooring, (saving for temp reuse upstairs), final set on base cabinets and dishwasher. Fitment of beadboard panels, ready for glue and nail after kitchen floor install, which is 1st thing in a.m. after coffee, just have to final sweep, vac, lay foam,and land the ez 2/3 of the kitchen. Then on to the dining room after moving the fridge and stove cabs back to K -- I hope. 🔨🪛🪚

Good Saturday morning all! Another work day. After finishing breakfast, I will head downstairs and continue installing flooring in the kitchen and the rest of the main floor. I always bite off more than I can chew. But when it looks this good...😋

Today I drove 4 hours round trip to Denver to pick up flooring for my project that was supposed to arrive here today but they dropped it at the wrong warehouse, in the wrong city.

I told the sales guy to find a hot shot to pick it up and to bring it to me, but he couldn't. So I told him I was going to pack charge him $500 to go get it with my trailer.

When I got home and took a closer look I found it's not even the right material.

I'm less than happy.
Really really less than happy.

I wish Lucky Lizard hadn't passed.
I tossed lucky lizard into the garden.

Well, crap. Lucky Lizard has passed. I don't know if it starved or accidentally got stepped on on the carpet. I had guests. I've seen it two or three times in the last 10 days since I first saw it. I always picked it up and put it in a plant. Yesterday it was belly up.
