went to make the 10' piece of flashing, and still had 2' left of brake-   i guess its a 12' brake- win. 

flashing repaired on house.  put more nails in all other pieces.  they used like 4 nails on 10' no wonder it just blows off

only got stung once by a million wasps up there.  probably not the best day with the high winds but i managed since it was helping keep the wasps from landing on me lol

how expensive is the 10' of flashing?  maybe make a couple more for potential future needs and put it in basement so you dont need a brake again if you plan to sell it.

procured a gallon of porch paint, project needed before winter.


prices on 1/2" 0.025" metal band saw blades were stupid, so decided to change over to a 3/4" x 0.035" blade i found on amazon for 32$ a piece, ordered 3 of them that came in today.  I cut mostly big dumb stuff or plate, and 95% its straight cutting so no need for a skinny bendy blade.


found that my band saw has carbide guides and not traditional bearing/roller guides. neat.   found a box of broken 0.025" guides in the machine, and hiding in the bunch was a pair of new 0.035" guides!  win. 

swapped all over and thing cutting like a boss.

only took 8 months of emails, in person branch visits, countless phone calls, a letter sent by me via snail mail, and online banking messages to eliminate the 60$/month PMI charge on my mortgage!  whooo hoo!


i am 3 years ahead on my 20 yr mortgage in year4.  go me.

how rude, wind blew my newly replaced piece of flashing off.  found it ditch across road today.  seems OK.  all nails ripped through.  guess it needs roofing large head nails. 

too soft for bucket van, maybe when it freezes up.
