| 28-4 17:46:18 | soccrdad30 | I like those little mom & pop's laser kits |
| 28-4 17:45:47 | soccrdad30 | Thom, I am thinking of lighting up the bridge, thinking of using a just Woodland plug kit for it |
| 28-4 17:45:37 | DAZed | I bought some Z pumpjacks that are laser cut wood on eBay. I think it is one of the sellers John has talked about. |
| 28-4 17:43:44 | GNFan | "our shell" = "outer shell" |
| 28-4 17:43:27 | rvn2001 | I would have water in the basement at my last house if the water table got high enough. The water would creep in between the walls and floor. |
| 28-4 17:43:05 | GNFan | Given our reputation for rain around here (some of it deserved, some of it exaggerated to scare off the curious), I am sometimes surprised the site- or construction- choices people make around here. My high school was built in the late '60s, and the our shell was metal, specifically chosen to rust *a little* (to appear weathered), based on Southern California weather...except we're not Southern California. (duh!) |
| 28-4 17:38:58 | ejshelton | Ours was that way also...... |
| 28-4 17:38:35 | soccrdad30 | we were lucky, the builder of our house crowned the yard, in some places there is a 2' drop |
| 28-4 17:37:08 | ejshelton | My neighbors basement would flood but we were on a slap and just high enough.....never got up to the house |
| 28-4 17:36:24 | soccrdad30 | it can't keep up with any heavy rain |
| 28-4 17:36:10 | soccrdad30 | Ellen, our street corner is that way |
| 28-4 17:35:37 | GNFan | I'm on the downslope of one of the city's seven hills, but still maybe 100 feet above the nearest body of water. Generally safe from floods, but no guarantees. |
| 28-4 17:35:33 | ejshelton | We also have that problem occasionally. My street would flood at the house i used to live in.....but it usually drained in a few hours |
| 28-4 17:34:43 | soccrdad30 |
take your Z with you?!  |
| 28-4 17:34:12 | rvn2001 | I actually had to go to my Mom's house once because I couldn't get back to my house after going grocery shopping. |
| 28-4 17:33:46 | soccrdad30 | we live in a valley, have been very lucky. no flooding yet |
| 28-4 17:32:57 | rvn2001 | I've experienced the same thing around here, Doug. |
| 28-4 17:31:55 | ejshelton | It could come our way tho |
| 28-4 17:31:26 | rvn2001 | No flooding here. |
| 28-4 17:31:21 | DAZed | We had to backtrack 3times to get out of our neighborhood |
| 28-4 17:30:12 | DAZed | Barely |
| 28-4 17:29:55 | rvn2001 | Are you above the tide? |
| 28-4 17:29:45 | soccrdad30 | we have had a light rain all morning |
| 28-4 17:29:23 | DAZed | Just got done with brunch. Lots of flooding here this morning |
| 28-4 17:28:43 | DAZed | HowdyZ |
| 28-4 17:28:27 | rvn2001 | What's Doug up to today? |
| 28-4 17:27:06 | GNFan | Hi, Doug. |
| 28-4 17:26:46 | rvn2001 | Hi Doug. |
| 28-4 17:26:44 | ejshelton | Hi Doug |
| 28-4 17:26:36 | rvn2001 | Your bridge project is proof of that, John. |
| 28-4 17:26:24 | soccrdad30 | Hello Doug |
| 28-4 17:26:18 | soccrdad30 |
sometimes I have to peek over the lid to do that |
| 28-4 17:25:48 | ejshelton | Yup......I have trouble doing that..... |
| 28-4 17:25:39 | soccrdad30 | I try to too |
| 28-4 17:25:24 | soccrdad30 | that is a good thing Ellen |
| 28-4 17:25:02 | ejshelton | Thom usually thinks outside the box |
| 28-4 17:24:35 | rvn2001 | They might even have brown/muddy colors. |
| 28-4 17:24:27 | soccrdad30 | the thickness of 3/16" should be fine |
| 28-4 17:23:42 | soccrdad30 | figures.... |
| 28-4 17:23:21 | rvn2001 | The price might be different at the store. |
| 28-4 17:22:40 | soccrdad30 | thanks for the link. I remember paying 5.99 for the black |
| 28-4 17:21:26 | soccrdad30 | I see that! |
| 28-4 17:21:07 | rvn2001 | They have other shades of blue too. |
| 28-4 17:20:37 | rvn2001 | «link» |
| 28-4 17:19:21 | soccrdad30 | I usually go to hobby lobby for my shopping |
| 28-4 17:18:32 | soccrdad30 | I can check after work Monday or Tuesday |
| 28-4 17:17:39 | rvn2001 | Blue foamboard with some gloss Mod Podge streaked on it would probably work. |
| 28-4 17:16:07 | soccrdad30 | I could go back and see if they have any blue 1/4" foamboard, I have not glued them yet |
| 28-4 17:15:20 | soccrdad30 | did not think about that |
| 28-4 17:15:06 | soccrdad30 | black, sorry |
