Too familiar is too complex. Yay Texas.

omg do you know mystery meat?

Typical Douche Audi Driver...

Taco, i like the bench. you looking to stain it that color?

hannamand

Let's see... what did I do this weekend?! Well, I fell asleep watching TV at least twice... Sucks getting old.

TacoBello

I really don't know why chad is arguing. Everyone unanimously thinks he's overreacting. A stupid joke has been blown out of proportion, even though it had nothing to do with chad in the first place, but apparently it should have.

it's ok, chad. Next time lawns come up, we will be sure to mention you.

Aaaaaand now back to or regularly scheduled BS...

Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!!

TacoBello

It will get stained, but probably a much darker brown color, to match the rest of the house and deck. The house is green with dark brown trim. Deck is the same, more or less (pressure treated green and dark brown trim).

I found that that bench idea on Pinterest it's pretty easy to build, actually. Just takes some patience. it also doesn't help that I don't have a truck. It will take 40 2x4s to build and I can only haul a maximum of 14 in the Sonata, the home improvement work horse

Did I wake up today and log into high school?

If you didn't live so far away Taco I'd tell you to drop by and we'd run it through the machine... this is the side business:

i need a truck, hoping work gives me one soon, wife keeps finding things (she likes refinishing furniture and stuff) on CL or FB groups she wants picked up, and im like "in what?" lol if not truck might try get a small trailer.

UlsterBoy13

Should not have shared dude! if i tell wife about your wood.....wait....i mean....hmmmmmm

Joke. but for real i will defo bookmark that as we always looking for rustic charm stuff like that.

I questioned a joke that wasn't funny. Then was labeled jealous. That's all I'm seeing.

last time i checked, we talk about tossing salad.

Did you wake up and realize thats not what you're about!?
because I can toss yours!

TacoBello

fuuuuuuuuu!!!! Tell him to move to Canada!!!!

i like that island he built. I looooove those big pieces of rustic wood, made to look into a cool piece of furniture.

Wood gives me wood.

thoiboi

i have a newfound love for reclaimed wood too


something about wood that has history, that has been around the block, it has character



I tried to build a bench like that years ago to go over the bed for my GF.. it was SO craptastic because I use braces rather than actual joinery... it was a nice first attempt.. (not really)

TacoBello

You mean like metal brackets? Yeah, it always seems like it will be super solid using brackets and then it never is. Depending on what I'm making, I'll use them in conjunction with something else. It'd be nice if I had true master finish carpenter skills. I'm just a DIYer with a slight OCD complex that I try to satisfy as best as possible.

thoiboi

yeah shit-tastic corner braces... it was a dumb dumb. move. it sounded like a good idea on etsy or instructables or wherever i found the instructions..


Some dovetail joinery would have definitely made it much better

everything!

oddly, we did the exact same thing this weekend. Yesterday, I had an uneasy feeling all day...was so hot out, didn't have anything I "NEEDED" to do but kept thinking of what else I should do with my time to be/feel useful. Sat on the couch with Beck light most of the day...then took some pictures and ran a datalog on the blue car. I have such a hard time relaxing. Which really sucks, actually.
That might be the funniest post you've had in a while, Adam.
Best worst back handed compliment ever!

I think it's mainly cause I'm always talking about lawns and cutting grass and being hot and sprinklers and weed and feed. My blades need professional sharpening too...apparently it's leaving this burned haze that's the equivalent to split end hair. Sucks.
I did think of you though, cause now that I've cut for a month with the new mower, I inadvertently have kinda striped my yard where the tires go since I always follow the same path.
I swear I picture Ed and Soph in modern family when you tell a story about your wife and you...

Don't worry about it J. Nothing negative about you there trust me. The 'joke' didn't make a lick of sense so I questioned it. But once the mob turns against you here there's no defending yourself.

It's ok though! I haven't used to ignore function in a while!

TacoBello

i thought this one was much better!

I swear, you're either going to entirely love retirement, or entirely hate it. Why? Because you'll either have so many projects going that you'll be poor AF, or you'll wake up every morning with a big smile and not being able to wait until breakfast is done so that you can get cracking on the next job.

should paint your lawn mower Tiffany blue

Adam, that's why you leave the humor to the humor committee...when you're not trying too hard is when you really hit us with some gems.

Chad, no doubt, man...I thought you'd be proud of my accidental striping.
Don't get all fired up now...you've been playing nice for so long now...enjoy your audi updates and gen(ital)eral banter!

Where's our video at!?!? I wanna see some AWD hooning!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Justin, trust me...when the time comes, that's happening...if I had to remove the deck for anything...I'd be all over that...but I'd probably get a quote for powdercoat since you hve to step on that area of the mower and it needs to be robust.

and thus why you deserve yard of the month.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

and thus the fucking joke. lol

TacoBello

You have to step on your mower? Is it a riding mower?

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

......

Wasn't that the entire point of the joke Taco? omg

I have no patience today.

I think we'll have to revisit this whole thing tomorrow...everyone had a bit too much this weekend.
I had no vodka for once...only some cervezas...felt pretty good too...no hard stuff

thoiboi

a certain sign is in that pic

TacoBello

I actually don't think I've ever seen your mower. I honestly thought you had just a push mower, or some shit
definitely needs Championship White paint job and a few VTEC badges

thoiboi

I think Grand Pricks White would be better...

im showing a lot of patience.

by repeating the joke over and over again, a la yumcha!

iTrader: (1)

so, who won yard of the month again???

TacoBello

I was thinking the exact same. Great minds think alike? Or is it sociopath degradents think alike?
