The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Found out there is more mold in this house than anticipated. It makes me cough deep down in my lungs. Gonna have to start in the attic with a bleach mixture and a long handled brush and get rid of it soon before it starts to warm up. Not looking forward to it. Each room is going to have to be wiped down. Walls, ceilings and floors. Every piece of furniture will have to be cleaned.

Not sure what house you're in... But mold is no fun. Vinegar does a better job destroying mold than bleach. Cleaning vinegar can be pretty strong stuff. Do some research...

Wood can be treated with Concrobium Mold Control. MSDS says it's TSP and Sodium Carbonate. I believe those two ingredients impregnate the wood and prevent regrowth.

Papers, photos, books, may have to be discarded. Some can be treated with Ozone generators if valuable. Don't breath the ozone, or let plants/kids/pets get into a treated space. It is a strong oxidizer, and breaks down A LOT of stuff. Again, research...

Good luck. Mold makes me shudder. I have severe mold allergies, so it's well beyond a 'yuk' factor for me!

Thanks so much for that. I'll use vinegar on your recommendation. It will irritate my lungs less I'm sure. And I am miserable until I get that attic mold free. The ceilings are slat and those spores just filter down into the living space.
 
Oh, Come one now. Shear pin is the cheapest part in the whole setup, by design!
Yes… and they were created by Murphy.

1. They will always shear when it’s most inconvenient.

2. They will shear when it’s getting dark or is fully dark out. The light will always be poor when a shear pin shears.

3. They will shear when the weather is the most inclementest. (super cold out, wind is whipping. Etc)

4. They will shear for the flimsiest small branch or for no real reason at all. Usually because they just want to.

Granted. I have learned my lesson and always have extras on hand.
I’m starting a new band: The Fuckin Shear Pins.
 
Good morning.

Had my whole day planned until I realized it was a holiday and three of the things I wanted to do would be closed because of it.

Just to give you an idea, there are 7 china hutches...all full. There are 4 dining room tables. 35 straight-backed chairs. This is not a huge house but it is packed...at its all got a thin layer of mold on it.

Don't get me started on the garage, basement and the barn. Good thing is, those don't affect me directly and will be delt with over the summer months with a pick truck, trailer, and trips to the landfill.

Hopefully the mold is not the really bad types. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully dealing with all of the stuff will commence.
 
Good day - even with all of the shear puns. 😉

Snow cleanup was actually not too bad despite my bitching about shear pins. I was off today for MLK day, so snow cleanup and I helped my neighbors clear their driveways too.

Took out my side by side and did some donuts till I realized I was tearing up the turf on my lawn. Whooops! Shakes head cuz I’m a lawn mowing nazi and my lawn mower lines and lawn in general has to look just so. Grrrr.

Puttered around and did some outside things. The sky was so gorgeously blue. And I was working hard enough to not be cold, but also not start sweating: replacing there light up Christmas star with a huge snowflake I made, stacked some firewood, moved my trailer.

My friend, the chef, came over and we re-seasoned the pans. They’re really good pans, but for some reason they’re not seasoning 100% right. They’re definitely getting better as more layers get baked on., But even he said he’s at a bit of a loss.

But we had a good time and drank a few beers and bullshitted some.

Made stock for soup all afternoon and then veggie chicken bean soup. Was super yummy.

And of course fell asleep in the first quarter of the football game.
 
Fuckin shear pins.

The ultimate oxymoron.

Fuck those things and their fucking designers. Could they be one tensile stronger??? Jesus Christ.

I get why they exist… (Shakes head after spending an hour in the cold trying to find the hole, with the new pin…)

☝️ I know that @nipplecaresser will have some good advice! 😂😂😂
In this very cold weather, is your pin big enough to get in the hole?
Do you need to warm the hole up before trying to get your pin in?
Do you need to get the hole wet first before trying to get your pin in?
Do you have a neighbour with a bigger pin that might fit in the hole better?
Are you trying to get in the right hole? ;)

I laughed so hard at the donuts and your poor lawn. :LOL:

Maybe call the manufacturer? Did you get a lemon by chance??

😍 love soup - any time of year, but especially when it's so freaking cold 🥶 🍜

Does Murphy even like sports and movies???
