"Lloyd may not allow me to post pictures of Rod's handywork."

I think that we may be putting too much on Lloyd. This sounds like something the Old IHC body at large could evaluate and determine if it is appropriate; in order to save Lloyd the trouble of having to do it himself, of course.

I have no problem with someone posting pictures of others "work". I did have to UP the amount of space allowed for "attachments". Still looking for someone who know the "coding" side of computers.

You Tube has many videos about body painting, if a person needs to "see" .

The concrete contractor we worked with always said "Did it get hard, turn grey, and have the smooth side down?"

I think it was his version of "hot's on the left, cold on the right and you know what runs downhill" for plumbers.

I heard it so often I figured it was common.

Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY

I went to the shop for an hour, today. I was checking for signs of rodents. These pests can not stop pooping so there is always a trace of their passing. I set random traps near where I think the rodents might enter. There was nothing in the traps today, but some days the 6 traps are all full. The crows and seagulls get lunch, on me.
I have the thermostat set at 1 degree Celsius and I keep a large ceiling fan running 24/7 to break up stratification.
There is close to 38 cm or 15 inches of snow here.

Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY

I use the old simple Victor spring wire traps. Peanut Butter works well. I like the little peanut butter packages so I don't have to mess up a jar.
My welding friend likes his counterbalanced ramp that drops the rodent in to a bucket. He uses argon welding gas to put the rodents to sleep, permanently.
Mousetrap Monday on You Tube has some interesting traps.

Re: WHAT DID YOU DO IN YOUR SHOP TODAY

I use the old fashioned victor traps myself, I have been thinking about making the counterbalanced ramp one, or the rolling pin one, it has a roller suspended over a bucket with a spot of peanut butter in the center, when the mouse walks out for the peanut butter it just rolls off into the bucket. In either of the last two I'd probably just use water to drown the little buggers.
