Rushing through the home repairs. #1: And they're off!

That sticky stuff will come off very easy with WD-40 I done this for years and nothing else works as good. This shop tip is free…..whooooo hooooo

For removing the “Stichy Stuff”, you can also try citrus cleaner, it works real well & has a GOOD fragrance!!

I’d come over to help, but Texas from Vermont would be one hell of a commute!!!

Keep push’n on….....

I haven’t the slightest idea what the poster above this is trying to communicate, if anything at all. The post seems only to be a vehicle to post up the link about some wall tiles, which I didn’t even mention having anything to do with. Now if you’ll excuse me, it looks like I need to dine on a SPAM sandwich…

Attaboy, attaboy, attaboy…........

Think of good you will feel when it is all done. Think of the reduced house payment, and all the freed up cash for shop tools. Think of the barbecue your gonna have to celebrate getting this crap done. I’ll have to take a rain check in advance, however….......(-:

Remember your back. Pace yourself on those jobs that abuse it. Have multiple jobs going so you don’t have to stop working just because your back is complaining. A high stool or low step ladder may help you reach the tops of those windows, and you might be able to sit down while you do it.

Razor scraper and a solvent…......depending on the tape, many different ones may work. It will probably come down to which one is easiest to get off of the window. I have used WD-40 on cars to remove tar, so I know it is safe there.

........end of cheer leading message for today…........(-:

Jim,

It was duct tape…

My back is always on my mind. The good thing is I am working on light things without a lot of lifting or twisting. It’s been over a year now since a major flare up, and the physical therapist is happy… I know even with the effects of the wreck, I could probably lick this thing if I weren’t carrying all the extra weight. So we got onto Weight Watchers. And so far in the last 1.5 months I am down 10 lbs. I am trying to lose slowly. I don’t want to gain it back…

I do have some heavy lifting jobs, like replacing 2 T1-11 siding panels where the original masonite is melting in the Texas humidity. I have a couple of my nephews that have volunteered to help me out with the bigger outdoor stuff…

I wish I had twice the time I do. I could get everything that NEEDS to be done, and a few things I WANT to get done. Like rip out the deck and install a paver patio.

Jim is right, but you knew that! Pacing your self is KEY! Don’t want to get burned out and let safety or quality suffer.

Also, congrats on the 10lbs. !!!!!!
