Finished removing the Plastidip off the grille surround today, maybe half of it peeled off, the rest had to be rubbed off, developed a couple of nice little blisters on my thumbs for my trouble. I think I used this one originally because it had a nice big stone chip in it.

I told you all that rubbing, you will end up blind. 😘
 
Went to a local car show and noticed these 2 cars that were supposed corrected and ceramic coated, the 2 pics of the hoods up. I didn't have the heart to tell the owners they have been had by a horrible con artist!

How does a car guy not notice the buffer trails on the hood of the black Chevy. But I wouldn't have mentioned it either, some people can get pretty mad when you point these things out.

Some very cool rides there though.

There are no excuses for something like that.Because those cars sit in the garage for long periods of time

Tested the water to the house 246 PPM that's on bore/ well water
Rain water tank was 14 PPM.

It has been 10 PPM in the past but the water has been sitting all summer due to not much rain.
 
Had an issue with the lawnmower this week. First comment from the gf was that the blade was loose and low, which seemed unlikely. Turns out the deck broke. We debated getting a new mower, possibly going self propelled and maybe electric but decided to just get a new deck for it. Just a couple of screws/bolts, right?

Most bolts were pretty easy but 3 screws in the front and the one securing the side chute were so corroded that they couldn't just be unscrewed. So that was a lot of time but it's now just waiting on the new deck and screws. It'll be getting a wheels (and motor) off detail.

Yesterday I moved 1600lbs of patio blocks to expand my grilling area. Its just a small area cornered by the porch, garage and fence. Was just wasted space, but now I can put my grills (gas and pellet) there. Edge was riding low for the 3 mile drive.

Also, tilled the back yard in prep for new sod.

1600 lbs in one trip?
 
Yup.
40 16x16 pavers, each weigh 40lbs.
I didn't dawn on me how many and much weight until I started loading them. Then, I had to take them out as well, so I lifted 3200lbs. I don't know why I'm sore today.

Yikes! That's way more than the payload of my little '23 Bronco, didn't know the Edge was that beefy!

I know your pain. I've spent last Tuesday, Saturday and today refreshing a client's driveway by distributing 5 cubic meters / 177 cubic feet of 20mm white gravel. All via shovel, wheel barrow and rake. In a former life, I would have borrowed the Dingo mini-digger from work and had it done in an hour.
