What have you made lately?

[HappyHighwayman]

I had no idea.

I'm gonna get it because my drive looks like a can of wood stain was stabbed but made it to the hospital.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

it worked! A stiff brush and diluted muriatic acid got it out

thanks so much

Making progress on my mugniani pizza oven

 

[tzrider]

Very cool!

 

[cheez]

Damn, didn't know that. :laughing

WTF do they call it something besides what it is? Marketing?

It was called muriatic acid before we knew what hydrogen and chlorine were.

I'm spending my day with acid on concrete myself, thanks to this thread, and a neighbor who showed me how to use it to clean up concrete spatter and get an even color on a fresh pour.

Is there a kind of pressure washer anyone would recommend for home use?

 

[ctwo]

somebody put a box of cabinet hardware on the street. These were a couple of the knobs. Range is 1" to 1.5". I'll probably thread them for the next larger screw.

Last two stairs have been cut! One is staining, one is drying from clear coat.

Honestly I love my little electric ryobi for $99, but I mostly use it to clean the car

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I'd love to be able to clean the upper floor windows and the driveway

My FiL bought a pressure washer and then proceeded to wash the top seal off all the concrete in the back yard and front walkway. Also left a nice spiral pattern in the wood fence. /rant

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I ordered a $150 electric one with the surface scrubber for the drive.

I just stained my fence so I'm not going to pressure wash it anytime soon

Extra wood and took part of a curtain rod so I made a shelf for my moto gear.

Fudge. Home depot's return system for online orders is down nation wide wasted $35 on a zip car and 2 hours

----

Home Depot has shockingly good customer service. They made a UPS pickup for free for my items!

 

[HappyHighwayman]

Stained the fence

 

[HappyHighwayman]

Power washes rocks! for $150 it's what I need. On the "0" degree nozzle it is removing the lighter stain marks pretty good. GOnna do the whole driveway for my neighbors at some point (common drive/HOA etc). I often rake all the leaves anyway since if I'm doing "my" drive I might as well do everyone's

 

[Climber]

I have exactly the same one. Works great for my needs.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

DId a really good job cleaning a crapload of dirt off the drive but I think the the bad wood stain stains needs a 3000 PSI diesel driven power washer to remove which I clearly don't need to own. I'll chip away at it over time

Used the soap nozzle to spray down the garage door and then the light sprayer to wash off. Probably needs a coat of paint after 13 years.

Hey so despite cutting off the overhang downstairs being a mistake it would appear I will need to cut off the landing overhang to install laminate nosing because otherwise it won't seat properly to cover the original edge...make sense or am I missing something?



Here's how it should look but then there's nothing to attach it to because the track is too far

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I would have thought it looked more like an air con filter. I guess I just need the right size?
