A Few Worries

This does not get much better....for now. The markets have dumped, Dow down another 500 today, but I will not see the effect of this until tomorrow.....we are down about $150M but remember...You are invested for the LONG TERM. ( For me that means another 30 yrs or so ) but you know.....if ever our totals get reasonably up again..I may take a little bit more conservative line, but you never know.......here's hoping the elections go well in the US of A but it looks like that Obama guy might make it...sure hope not ! Yea Rush!!

F**K

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just to get the constipation outta me........sheesh !

Flooring

Well it has been a while. I am in the middle....(perhaps 5/8s of the way) of completing the installation of a Brazilian Cherry 3/4" 3 1/4 " plank floor in the Living and Dining rooms. It IS a lot of work, and I have borrowed a Stapler from Dale at BWP, it is a Primatech, and I am not sure I like it. While it does staple a bit closer.....the staples that Dale gave me seem to be of a larger gauge then others I have seen, even if they are what is called for because of the Cherry wood being harder. What I do not like is that in some cases I see a little bulge in the wood ontop of the staple.....Dale says he has heard of that and that it may be because of the higher density of the wood...and no place for the staple to go. He suggested turning the pressure UP on the compressor maybe to 100 rather than the 75 to 80 I was using. I have and it has not gone away yet.....

So...all in all....I am not pleased....maybe I expect too much.

May finish tomorrow...or Saturday...nothing can be done I suppose.......sheesh !

I shall get Mark P's stapler soon...and try it I think...but it will be back on oak again..so the problem may just go away.

Well well well.....

My very first thoughts.....like Oh My! We'll have to see where this goes and if it goes and if I even remember how to get back here......
