Things built, torn down and other projects.(Pictures)

Bet that mothertrucker was H.E.A.V.Y !

Fortunately assembly was required so it arrived in 6 separate boxes.

Got the trailer hitch for the tractor's 3 point hitch built. But I was to busy to take pictures. Maybe tomorrow. This is the piece that attaches to the tractor's lift arms.

This is the old Lincoln welder, mounted on an old pressure washer frame. Makes moving the welder around a lot easier.

This saw is the trick for cutting metal. It gives a clean, (and depending on the operator) straight cut. Me? I'm still learning to use it. The second picture is of an old railroad pad, about 1/2" thick. I sawed it with on problems.

And the pad came off an old used cross tie.

And here is the finished product. I got about $25.00 in the thing. I've got to give it a test run with the big trailer and the big tractor. This little tractor is not strong enough to test my welding work.

When I tried to pull a trailer with the pull bar, I bolted that little piece of metal to the left lift arm to keep the bar steady, with the trailer ball aiming up. It worked pretty good until the metal stretched and the bar began to roll around. This ball on this baby here doesn't roll. Yet.

Have you tried it yet? Looks like it will do the trick as long as you keep the tongue weight within reason.

It's undergoing rigorous testing at this time.

Boy, you sure don't practice "clean as you go".....and you need to take your area.

It's a gift.

Yeah, that the rest of us here have.

That is well on its way to becoming a Seriously Fancy Kitchen.

I love the countertop on the island.

Sweet ovens.

I like the cabinets. A friend of mine many years ago had cabinet doors with framed windows like the top part of those but the whole doors. Was awesome...when everything was stacked appropriately.

Are those real cookies?

Yes. Those were fresh from the new ovens. The T-shirt was also a gift. Needless to say they’re happy with the progress.

Speaking of progress.

That veining on the countertop is fascinating. Is that a natural stone, or ??? What is it named?

Island is quartz and the countertop is granite.
Don’t remember the color names. I sent the homeowners to pick something out with the Red woman and this is what they sent me. Lol

Quartz (engineered) or quartzite (mined)? I’m fascinated by that pattern!

btw, I prefer the (engineered) quartz. It seems like a great tech solution to countertop challenges.

—I like the light fixtures too. Not my style, but they work great with that kitchen! —Just looked again with the pic where they’re lit, and they’re very cool.

It’s engineered. It even has recycled glass
I’ll look at the paperwork Monday and let you know what the color codes are.

The Red woman designs

The secret of a happy marriage. And business partnership, it seems.

Loving it. The lights reminded me of salad bowls thought for a second someone made them from a bowl. And yeah would love to have those ovens. Y’all really do amazing work
