I cringe thinking of the swirl marks and dent in that part of the floor... $:-\$

then you don't know the difference between a random orbital, "swirling", or a drum sander.

i would literally have to stand the thing on edge for 10 minutes for that sort of result with this random orbital.

heffay · « **Reply #3 on:** November 20, 2008, 08:21:46 PM »

ok, ok... i'll let you in on a secret.

its a new beetle kill pine floor, so i used the least damaging floor sander... RO as i like to call her.

damaging a floor with this type of sander is nearly impossible and it is best used for soft woods or light sanding duties... thus, perfect for my present remodel.

stay tuned, i'm almost finished with it and i hope to take a month or so off and devote a full report.

Those things are worthless except for playing games on. Although we were trying to sand paint off of a porch floor with it. Needless to say, we went back and got one with more cajones.

We need to think business here, who wants in?

Some people have waaaaay too much time on their hands. Or is it early onset cabin fever because the non-riding season is upon us?

Someday, you are going to wish you learned about dust inhalation sooner.

fuzzybutt · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2008, 08:45:29 AM »

i wish i could find the pics of me riding a floor buffer.

heffay · « **Reply #10 on:** November 21, 2008, 08:51:04 AM »

man, you guys are touchy.

dust was zilch... was a brand new machine, that could have helped. but yes, i was wearing a mask except for entertainment puposes. when i got done after the 4 or 5 hours of sanding (where the too much time on my hands and boredom comes from

) there wasn't even a layer of dust on the piano that had to remain in the room. now you're probably gonna jump on me for not covering the piano! well, i have compressed air jerkwads.

remind me never to post anything interesting for you guys anymore $:-\$

i do amazing remodel work and because i clown occasionally you dog me... FTW

I only rag as you looked like you were moving in slow motion!

I use to be the king of riding pallet jacks! Kick off like on a skateboard and zip down the isles! WOOOO HOOOOO!

Heff, don't that the stick in the cement types get you down! I know the term is normally stick in the mud but some of them are so incapable of having fun I changed it to cement!

Heff your video editing skills never cease to impress! Judging by your apparent work ethic I might suggest a career in government work. And by government work I mean working for the city laying blacktop.

I should know as I've worked for my town and the rule generally spells out: for every man with a shovel, broom, or rake, there must be a minimum of two others to stand by leaning on similar tools to supervise. When out of sight of tax payers, play may ensue.

While in high school I worked for the DPW. I had to sweep a dirt road for two days. Being a grunt sucks.

Thanks for the post, I thought it was funny!

Heffay, you get no points until we see a proper dismount.

thanks for the kind words from some of you today

...

made the day progess a little better than it stated at 4am w/ one of my usual migraines and nausea and violent sickness.

perhaps it was delayed motion sickness!

what, 333, you didn't like the dismount at the 45 second mark?

of course, you don't actually get to see me "stick it".

i'll work on it for the chipper/shredder dismount.

Exactly. But I did vote for you to be paid. But, you do have to "stick it" for the gold.

It's not motion sickness, it's morning sickness. Heffay's gonna have a baby!!!

But seriously, you should check out The Migraine Brain by Carolyn Bernstein. Heard a couple of interviews with her on NPR about migraines. Pretty useful info.

googl'n now, pills, thank you... i've had them since i was born and they've been the true bane of my existence.

one minute i want to bash my head in on the porcelain and the next i'm appreciating life...

I've done the same thing. Now my trick is to ride the trikes at work on two wheels.

Similar to this, minus the trailer.

I used to do this as well, the forks were the perfect width so that one foot could span them, and stay quite balanced. it was a lot of fun, saved many footsteps.

heffay, keep posting, man, and thanks belatedly for the patch.

i had to say "hell yeah" if you couldn't goof off every now and then, no one (especially me) would do labor jobs

heffay · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2008, 07:17:08 AM »

i voted the same way for the same reason, whatdya know!?

heffay · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2008, 07:10:48 PM »

MJL... first off, what the hell do your ride tricycles for at work?

and, do they have flags and horns as well?

News:

Poll

Do you think I should be getting paid for this?
