Reilly,

The first was induction type (I think???).


The second test probe I used was the two-wire unit where I put one wire on the pipe and then the other to a ground wire, and it read 110.


Is that also an induction?

Thanks!

Nice Bill! Rmeinds me I put in two ceiling fans yesterday, no that photogenic...

Now, how many bags of concrete can I load into an already overloaded Saab?....

eKat... I know that smell. Like burnt hair (YUck!), but bone delivers a nice tone methinks.

Love your project too! Neat and tidy.

Not really something I'm building, but I recently bought a rock tumbler. I used to have a cheap tumbler when I was a kid and loved tumbling stones, mostly agates that came in the refill kits. This is my first batch since my kids were little and we ran some batches together, about 13 years ago.

These are after the first grit and 10 days of tumbling.

Iolite

Assorted other minerals

Top to bottom:
Iolite, Apatite, Quartz & Jasper, Sodalite, Amazonite. Top photo is dry, bottom is photographed wet to show what they will look like after the final polish.


The three pieces in the lower left were all collected on a hike of Mt Washington; Yellow Quartz, Jasper, and Smokey Quartz.

Today.



It doesn't look like much yet, but this is the culmination of a month of offsite work, Peeling, mortising, and planning the log structure. As well as a whole lot more stuff that I won't get into.

We have the superstructure of the log fort is up, joists are rolled out for the deck, there's so much cool sh#t involved in this installation, small in stature or not, that I'm stoked to go to work each morning now that we're in the installation phase.

If nobody minds, I'm going to add pictures of this project as it is installed.

Ekat, it's a play structure for a local not for profit community center. When finished there will be a slide off of the face of the 'building' that's visible in the pictures. Off of the other side there will be stairs to a landing, then down to the ground. The building is modeled after the actual community center, which is immediately adjacent. We're going off of formal plans and specs, but I put up pictures of the bridge as it was built offsite. They are upthread a page or two. It was an interesting couple of days building it. Since everything had to be exact, I jigged out a workspace for my drill press and proceeded to forstner hundreds of holes. The reason is that every section of bridge that is solid across has a threaded rod through it, nutted on both ends to add strength and stability. Also, the cedar logs upthread are now being used in all their glory at this great place. The community center provides daycare and preschool to 90 local kids. In all, it's a great project for a greater cause.

Building a new gym! About 2 months into it, with about one more to go! No recent pictures, but got the past of the plywood up a couple of days ago. Now to finish prepwork and get primer/paint/stain/sealer on the walls.

The frames of climbing walls are so beautiful sculpturally. Probably the most fun construction that I've done in 35 years at it.

Plus lots of people get to enjoy your work! Very satisfying.
