I'm back from the Bay. Cops were out in full force looking for miscreants speeding and running lights. Did 10 kms over the limit both ways. (about 6 mph over).

Re: tapcons. I have an elm workbench 16' long and 4' deep held onto the basement wall on a ledger board that is anchored with tap cons. It has a 10 drawer, 2 of 6 drawers and two machinist tool boxes on it and hasn't caved in, in over 28 years. My 16' x 10' deck is held onto the wall of the house the same way. That has only been there for 12 years or so and gets a huge thump on it whenever the snow on the roof lets go. (steel roof) I put 8 of them in, one every 4' staggered. with the deck, I used the tap cons and joist hangers for the stringers on 12" centers.

Why does TurboTax have to take 20 minutes to update every time I log into it. Did they make a major change since yesterday? So annoying.

Wonder if I can build a greenhouse like the Costco one? Hummm

Changed the thermostat on the big tractor. Should think that it would be easy access on a tractor but no ac hoses and other stuff in the way. Had to use a long extension, universial
joint and short 12 mm socket
and using pressure to prevent the socket from going sideways. But it is done and can now plow snow in tee shirt if I wanted to

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.8C and it's presently 22.0C, mostly overcast with a steady wind.

'Into town' run, yesterday, was successful in all respects. The arvo turned into a 'replace batteries' in a number of things as my weather station was intermittently dropping out at high temperatures of +28C. Whilst waiting for the Tx/Rx to pair, I decided to replace my mouse & keyboard batteries... and remembered that the printer's 'colour' ink cartridge was very low, so that got done too.

Horses were transferred to Paddock #3, later on. It being Summer and very dry as of late, they're 'picking' what's on the ground pretty quickly. (another reason why I'll lime this Autumn)

I've got a 'coffee meeting' in town @ 1100 and this arvo will be spent cleaning up Paddock #2. Tractor FUN!

That's about it, take care all.

anybody have the costco greenhouse. Almost $1400 for 6.7 ft x 7.8 ftView attachment 849681
I saw one at the beginning of last spring.... next time I went in (1week), it was gone. From what I saw, very well made. I had priced out getting raw materials for the same size.... almost $2K. But, material prices are still crazy.
And that was for all pressure treated. As I recall, the 1/2" thick "windows" were very pricey!
