Glen Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 4 hours ago, Dtret said: It’s been suggested that I need to stop working on the car for a while, or anything else that I enjoy for that matter. Apparently Karen got the bright idea to host a Memorial Day gathering at the house. I have to do two years of outside house maintenance that I’ve neglected while I was doing the 71. Weeding, mulching, pressure washing and putting a new floor on the deck and painting it. Ugh. This is going to hurt the bank account. Probably about 300 16 ft deck boards. She also has the carpet cleaners coming on the 16th so I have to empty all the rooms. Good thing I got the all the car parts out. That SUCKS. Lol. O well I guess it’s my turn to do what she wants. Yep Joe, now it’s my turn to play donkey. Lol. Oh boy… sounds like you gotta hit pause and “play the game”, Dennis. It’s in Chapter 3 of “How To Keep Mama Happy”, available in paperback or online. Chapter 7 “Ambiguous Answers” is also a wealth of information. Like answering “it’s different” when the better half returns from getting her hair done and asks you “Well? Whatya think?”. Play nice and live to fight another day. Pull this card and play it when you REALLY need it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" It's been suggested" .....LOL...I knew the rest of that statement wasn't going to end well ...hahahahaha. It may be cheaper to suggest having her little party at a restaurant hall instead...just a thought. I suggested that. But I was politely told that the work still needs to get done. Fair enough. I neglected my house duties so now I pay the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue what product is better. I’ve never used por but I think it’s just an epoxy primer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POR15 is very thin and if you have evena pin hole it will drip thru and cause a huge mess, also don't let it dry on your body parts it take weeks for it to wear off cause after itdries it is a permanent tint until it wears away/off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All-Metal is a type of body filler. Heavy duty, water proof, a lot of metal in the mix and hard as rock, difficult to sand. Por-15 is a type of paint coating. As Larry said, DO NOT get any on yourself, it'll be there a long time, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Rob i was actually waiting for Dennis to decide for sure whether he is doing her or not, so i can post him some bananas. I know he IS going to, but has to be a little cautious now that Karen is watching every move. Tkx Joe, Larry for the info on por 15, my floor has no holes but needs to be painted at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen pays absolutely no attention to what I do with cars, unless she needs something done on hers then she’s like a rabbid (?) dog. I do believe phase one of the legal( title) wrangling is done. I’ll know in a few days. Then it’s on to phase two. I bought this car knowing that there was a defective title. But it can be fixed. I’ll dig in full force once that’s taken care of and figure out what is left of the rust bucket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 I was asked to clean up the yard for her Memorial Day shindig. I didn’t realize it included the 70 also. Lol. I guess I really won’t be messing with it anytime soon. I did get the “ hot tub” going again after a couple year hiatus. I use it as a water feature. Ok back to mowing and weeding. This sucks.
