What did you mod today?

Which part? :laughing:

The sick part I gather. :slight_smile: With a rare talent. :beer:

Thanks guys. I think. :smiley: :+1:

Sick = Bad Ass = Awesome = Groovy Man = Radical = Off the Chain! Been a long time since I’ve heard my mom’s friend from Scotland talk, hard to remember how he’d exclaim (either before or after a few drinks) Skinny semi-short guy that drove a truck for a living, what a riot he was! :slight_smile:

Complimentary utterings from slack jaws. :wink:

PS: I’ll fill that story in a bit… when my mom was in 5th grade back in ’44 the schools thought it would be good relations to have students send letters to schools in England. My Mom and Lettie exchanged letters and have been in touch their entire lives, now some 74 years. Lettie grew up and married a guy from Scotland, Glendenning by name, and they lived in Moffat, Scotland. Lettie worked at a near legendary candy shop there for many years. Jim died quite some years back but Lettie still lives in Moffat, Scotland, English by birth and quite a contrast to her Scottish husband, her with her English accent and him with his guttural almost barking use of English. And as it turns out, where I live out in the country in the Heart of Texas there is a small community named Moffat about 6 or 7 miles from me. Moffat Texas. :slight_smile: All this seems special to me because I have Scottish and Irish in me blood. :smiley: (German and English as well, but I’m pure Texan American mutt)

I did not had time for any flaslight modding for 10 days now. I was modded my house. 75% finished of complete roof replacing rebuilding.

Today I just had time for replace the MCPCB to a copper one in my S2+ UV.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

CRX, is it glow paint on the centring ring? Or is it made from glow plastic?

I have a video here. :smiley:

Glow tape cut out with a scalpel

You’re too funny Steve!

Liked the :heart_eyes: at the end from the neighbor, lol, sent him running didn’t it! hahahahaha

It did happened. My wife’s dad has this job for 20 years so he done most of the work because he know how to make a roof so I just helped and did what he told me. I thenk him a lot for his help!
Still have a lot work with it but I think the hardest part is complete.




Y’all must get a lot of snow huh? What is that, a 10/12 pitch? Pretty steep! Glad I’m not the one doing that! :smiley: Second thought, looks like it may even be a 12/12! (We don’t get snow, our roof is 4/12…)

Bet you’re gonna enjoy having a new roof over your head! Kudo’s to F-I-L for all the hard work! :+1:

Sometimes we have almost no snow in a whole winter but sometimes we have 10-12 inch in one day. 3-5 inch is normal. Most of the houses built like tis roof pitch here. The old roof was full of wasps so we needed to be careful and exterminate most of them a few days earlier than the work.

Yikes! So you also modified a bunch of wasps into ant food. :smiley:

Has been a while since I did any roofing… did two of them with my father, and one was 11/12 pitch. That was a PITA because we couldn’t stand on it without causing damage. At least it only took us one windy morning to discover the importance of tying the top of the ladder to something… I had to climb down a rope. :stuck_out_tongue:

I suppose your father had to get you to put the skylights in, huh TK? You know, so the moonbeams could illuminate the rooms? :wink: The work of a goddess never ends…

Its nice to hear about the family helping out Zozz. It sure was/is a big job. Is the rest of the roof ok?

We will change the rest also but it has different angle so it needs a separate frame. We want to finish this section completely and then make the rest.

:+1: for the pics! That looks like a major job, and a nice house. No wonder the hobby had to be left alone for a while.

He didn’t like heights, so on his house I actually did have to put the sky beams in. I was the only one willing to go up that high to guide the core load-bearing parts into place. They originally planned to build a log cabin to retire in, but I guess things looked smaller on paper and it turned into more of a log mansion. First world problems.

In any case, good luck with the construction, Zozz. May your new roof be wasp-free.
