Montezuma would be a great place to live. Do they still hold the Montezuma's Revenge backcountry race?

Getting stuck at home after a big dump sounds like a good thing! Enjoy the search

It's not "building per se but's it's a big project. I'm still in the middle of it.

This house we bought last year has a pool which is surrounded by a big pool fence. The pool fence was totally encrusted with 30 year old jasmine vines. Beautiful but we are both highly allergic to them.

So gradually I am removing the "vines", which takes forever since they are thick old woody branches, which need to be individually uncoiled and sawn, then scrub down the metal and derust with naval jelly, more scrubbing, then prime and repaint. For the last step I have made new privacy panels out of Sunbrella fabric.

Question: composite decking recommendation?

Timber Tech is a good deck material. They also have fastener systems to go with the deck. If your replacing and existing deck, check the joist framing. The spacing of the joists determines the thickness of the deck material.

I think Ipe or Batu ( a mahogany) are better values. They need to be oiled 6 sides on installation and re-oiled every couple years, but a deck I put on my house of Batu looks great 8 years later and looks like it will last many more.

The stuff is stiffer and lighter than most synthetics if you have to lug it around to the install site.

An older Timbertek deck looked like crap after a couple years. The manufacturer claims to have resolved fading issues.

Test flew her today.
Ran four flights and breaking in the new engine also.
She flies and tracks beautifully.
Very Satisfying after all the hours building her.

I kissed her once softly,
Then I put her to bed.

The sound studio takes shape. No walls perpendicular or parallel to each other, double wall construction for two layers of Sheetrock with a sound deadening goo in between.




Next is a floor system floating on rubber lifts, massive amounts of insulation, and then cherry trim.

Great work all! Love this thread.

It's been raining for what seems like eternity. In between houses so my shop is in storage. Ughh.

But, big plans for "building" something tomorrow!

See you put the starter on the spinner and put a nicad glow plug igniter on the glow plug and some throttle and....Vroom!
Still have to always watch out for the prop which is invisible most angles after you start the engine!

I've gotten nicked a time or two and bandaid first aid were all I got away with luckily.
I treated my friend's dad last month when he laid his arm open with an electric plane's prop and sent him off to the ER where he got 14 stitches.
