7 ent mini sent me new window seals for free, super happy now

they taped wood to the four sides of the box, the seals came in good


I taped them off and painted the chrome bits od green

the new seals are on the car now, just in time because the summer rain is coming, any day now, its looking like it wants to rain now

[MiniDave]

Wow, I didn't think you guy's monsoon season was till August?

I wondered if they used wood this time!

the last one was shipped with ups and the box was bent in the middle, so wood to make sure the box dont get beat up in shipping and bend the window seals


monsoon season starts June 15 and ends Sept 30th, but the weather has been weird, its raining at other places around us but seems to kind of go around my street and skip us

I can smell the rain in the air but nothing yet

this morning I started to build a 8x7 shed in the back yard, its going to hold the bicycles and extra mini parts to get them out of the garage to give me more space

so far I built the base of the shed out of 4x4, took alittle more then 5 8ft sticks for the base, I plan to cover that with some 3/8's ply wood, so far I have 1 hour into build time

I had to pick up more air line to run line from my garage compressor to the back corner of the back yard, so far 100ft, but ones I start working on the roof, I may need another line


I picked up a wall locker for the garage for more space, to hold parts and tools

im trying to make room for a 20 ton shop press, I want one with a air bottle jack when will start out with a regular bottle jack

[MiniDave]

Best thing I did was to build a shed in the back yard for the mower, genset and all the gardening stuff. I'll bet 8X7 won't be nearly big enough for you! 

Shop press is a very handy thing to have, you don't need it often, but when you do - it's not one of those things you can borrow easily from a buddy.

i'll be done later tonight

[joakwin]

19 hrs to fill the pool

[MiniDave]

That looks inviting! Kids will love that

How’s the evaporation rate out there?

[MPlayle]

A solar cover will help reduce the evaporation factor a bunch.  It is like a bubble-wrap product that floats on the water.  You cover the pool when not in use and it reduces the evaporation as well as the chemical burn off.

[gr8kornholio]

Yea friends pool had that growing up. Down side was one day with the cover on and the water temp would be north of 80.

[joakwin]

yeha i plan on getting the cover for the pool, I want to build the rack set up myself...….

im going to need another die for my tube bender, lol

im thinking 1.5 inch tube in the middle, and then a 1 inch tube wheel to roll it up and whatnot,
probably going to build it in a few weeks

[joakwin]
