Just running between the raindrops ☔
Literally. It's been raining so much. If I didn't get wet I wouldn't get anything done. Last outburst this afternoon I grabbed the mop and mopped down my truck which was covered with cat prints, pigeon poop, and dirt, while it poured.

I've got a hoist setup in the corner that can lift from the sidewalk. Need to build a lift box for the cement sacks and tile to come. Or maybe just use a net bag, or a "super sack" they have for gravel/sand. I've got it rigged with 1/8th in steel cable right now - I don't think it's best for humans who want to
@TwiHusband
😆 Okay then, how about cowboys and space girls - Firefly,
Or proto-molecule portal - The Expanse. Maybe that's the one you're using here 😉
@Ironworker229
I have a mini fridge, portable propane bbq grill, & gas burner, for the outdoor kitchen. Still to come; sink, and this U shaped butcher block top I just acquired from a friend may come in useful...looks like a bar to me.🍻
@Ironworker229
Wood rots steel rusts. I'll send you the plans - come on down I'll give you a vacation and we can build a set of metal stairs.⛱️
@TwiHusband
What?! No Who option?
@Ironworker229
Love a new endeavor!
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing 3 times.
1st, R&D, test build,
scrap material
2nd, looks good, from here.
3rd, there ya go!
@Ironworker229
Many times.
My treads don't trip you.

I'm going to put in a wood staircase with a wider landing. Can't get anyone to build me a metal one - price and timing. I own a hammer, not a welder, so...
@Ironworker229
Access is interesting, but it will be sweet finished with tile. 90°F in the shade under the fan ain't bad. There's usually breezes too.
@Ironworker229
Sanded 16x16 rock cobble style. No slips! Similar to this on the ground level entry terazza.
@carmen that's me in 1965.
Only it was nukes, not bullets, we were sheltering from.
@Ironworker229
6"of concrete. It was never sealed or finished to my knowledge. And this is the second power wash. It's very much a rough roof. But it's lovely up there. So knocking the tops off the high spots. And pouring leveler will give me a nice surface to work on. And I think it's a project I can do in bite sizes of about 6 ft by 7 ft or 40 square feet.

If I'm not mistaken, it was one of their first major projects, their reason for being.

True, they couldn't pass gun control fast enough after they saw a bunch of legally armed Black Panthers standing on the courthouse steps.
They likely also served breakfast and lunch that day to children in the neighborhood.
@Ironworker229
I've got a bunch of mini projects done and today I power washed the roof and the patio all day - preparing to pour leveler on the roof in the next little bit and that is so that I have a substrate for tile. Apart from that short visit to the beach and visits to good food I just picked up a couple tacos I have a meeting in about 15 minutes that I plan to be silent and unseen in order to eat them.

Oh, I have no expectation of keeping up with everyone's conversation. I flit in and out like a social butterfly. 🦋 If I scan down my friends for a few minutes and the posting date gets to be yesterday, and I still want to scroll then I'll switch to the fire hose.

That's a no good sniveling rat bastard there, that does something like that.
