Went to a yard sale at a neighbors on Sunday, turns out that he is an Organic gardener and is a retired equipment operator in the logging industry. It is nice to meet new friends with common interests. They have the cutest puppy a small breed (unknown) what a lot of energy! I was telling Eric that old rusty stuff is what I look for he pulled this box out of his shed...
This morning heard a knock on the door around 9 am it was a fellow from BC Hydro wanting to install the new Smart Meters I have a sign up saying no Smart Meters Keep Out!!
He was civil as was I we had a conversation and he went on his way. No doubt BC Hydro will be back soon with some bullying tactics... A Strong Back that is what this post is about....

While working on my upper deck I noticed that the post by the steps was rotting away this is what I did...
Cobalt old time preservative, lifting the post with old screw jack, made a strong back two pieces of 3/4 plywood screwed to 2by6 then screwed to post, rotten end and repair made.
The flowers keep me going.
Have a Happy Day!

My first visit to your site... very nice and beautiful blooms. I have a good sized collection of wooden pulleys that I don't use other than to have them hanging in the gazebo... need to put some thought into that... Larry
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful blog you have!
ReplyDeleteI love all the beautiful flowers.
Nice front porch make over! A little paint and a lot of elbow grease! goes a long way.
Thanks for sharing.
Will visit again soon.

Wow, you found some great things! I am loving those beautiful hydrangeas!! Such a beautiful color. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at The "Sunday Stop". As always your photos are great!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I have a Question ... Is the jack there to stay or it was help in way of holding it until there is a permanent solution? If the jack is there to stay ... will it? I don't think it would move ....
Thanks again for sharing ... you are always a welcome addition!

hi Rob ... I always enjoy your flower pictures. Too hot here to have nice flowers. The pulleys are so interesting. I am sure you will find a creative use for them. Thanks for the tutorial on fixing the post. I will have to remember that one.
