Ok...mostly discussion on woodworking, Sunday Night Threads, and personal finance items in here...some of my hobbies.

Looks good Dave. Is this your hobby or your job?

[Alloy Dave]

Also terry1234 and I grilled out kebabs one night...



And last but not least, the Godfather himself, Joe G and wife Deb visited us this weekend...and I survived the attempted wedgie. It was great to see them both...we had fun in Nashville Indiana, and even saw a Tungsten GT500 on the way there. :mafia20smile:. Sorry, no pics of this event. Troll Hunter

Glad you solved the belt squeak. Now you can see how "belt dressing " would have made matters worse.

What are the cabnet doors going to be used on ?

I know the both of you, you're just keeping the evidence under wraps.

You had to ask...after I already had the camera put away.

I just finished installing the lower doors today...so I was going to wait to show pics...but since you asked I went down in my pajamas (underwear) and snapped these pics...the doors are going on the bar I'm building in the basement.

Bruce, I cannot protect myself from atomic wedgies with a camera in my hand. :trouble-1:

Thanks for the pics Dave. It looks very nice so far. Who's doing the plumbing for the sink ? Mafia2 LOL.

Hush nut... or do you wanna sleep with the fishes?!?

Dave, Terry1234, Mrs. G and I made a pact to never discuss what happened.

Sorry.

[Joe G]

Oh... and I, while Davey was looking for something, hid something funny in his basement.





Good luck finding it Dave!!

Sink plumbing is done...had a friend help. The code inspector said "Well, I've never seen it done quite like that...but it follows all the codes and looks like it will work".

I used a washing machine box kinda like this http://www.prosetsystems.com/Fire%20...away%20Web.jpg between the wall and the bar, then used copper pipe with rubber couplings to the sink (I can't make it rigid since the bar needs to be moved around slightly and will not be permanently attached to the floor). I also used a sump pump kinda like this http://www.nextag.com/Flotec-1-4-HP-...05/prices-html and he liked the way we did that with a one-way vent (it's gray water only).

George, here are pics of the plumbing. You can see where I removed part of the drywall to install the copper pipe...but then the discharge line (white pvc) did not have an easy way to keep it firmly held...it wanted to just "fall through" the washer box...so I fabricated a wood "clamp" as you can see in a couple of the pics that has rubber bicycle innertube in it...it grips the pipe so tightly it's not going anywhere now...that's what he studied for quite some time.
