Billy, you have got to ask the right person.

It ain't the fences you have built. It is the fences you have had built. And cursed at when the galvanized nails started rusting. The answer is too many.

As is my BF privilege, I know nothing about fence building, but agree with Rowan.

sbxx1985 04-21-17 06:19 PM

And I agree strenuously.

Then you were conned by the contractor who put up the fence.

[MENTION=29415]BillyD[/MENTION], do you have the tool attachment already and are just looking for a compressor? Because if not, while this is not the exact model, I've used a similar one on fencing when I was helping a friend with her horse paddocks. You would have to use nails (galvanized, which I also agree is better for outdoor uses such as this).

And oddly, on a related home maintenance front, what's particular fun to discover on a Friday night when you've finally decided to tackle cleaning out the garage, is that the bozo that installed the crappy cabinetry directly above the spot prepped for a utility sink managed to screw said cabinetry directly into the water line :twitchy:. Loosened the last screw, water comes gushing out. Large hole in the wall, and the big orange store is going to be getting some money from me tomorrow.

I put blue label Penofin on my fences. It'll give you cancer, but it's great for the fence.

That's all I have to contribute.

Not according to the packaging. What is for sure is that the stainless nails I now have are not rusting. Stainless fence nails are pretty standard now in the USA in upper end applications. Houston ain't Arizona.

Speaking of which, to recap:

Day 1 I Took off my tyres and replaced one with a Gatorskin, cleaned the frame and wheel rims

Day 2 (yesterday) Reassembled bicycle and rode. It seems to be peppier. Was in pretty sad shape before.

Day 3 (perhaps this evening) I need to clean the drive train. Yucky.

I think if you stagger the projects over several days, it's not so overwhelming.

Phase III completed.

Velo Vol 04-21-17 06:51 PM

Screw it.

sbxx1985 04-21-17 06:55 PM

I can't eat beets.

We had 40 tandems today in Huntsville. Didn't take many pics today. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

Every good ride starts and ends at a coffee shop:
