I have another suggestion for a carnival game...

"BOMB THE JOHN"

Hang a toilet seat vertically from a horizontal closet rod, and have people chuck rolls of toilet paper through it from about 20 feet away. It's not as easy as is sounds. - Just bind the rolls together with some tape before you start, or they will unwind and you'll basically be TP'ing someone's yard.

Ian is such a great guy, and 2000 Geocache hides is HUGE, the most in the entire world, this is our way of saying thanks!!!

I may be able to get some boxes from here at work - but the size and shape varies widely from week to week - next time the bin needs to be emptied into the baler, I'll try to save a few 'decent' sized boxes (if you need some).

OK Emptied the bin - Here's what I got that's useable:

Seven boxes - 14.5 x 13.5 x 21.5 inches (small picnic cooler size)

Seven Boxes - 14 x 14 x 10 (about liquor store size boxes)

Four Boxes - 13 x 9 x 11 (oversized lunchbox)

We may have another full bin before the end of the week, but I dunno what may we available. Someone reply back with a yay/nay for needing the boxes - if we need to drive them somewhere, I would STRONGLY recommend dinner at Yarusso's sometime this week. :wink:

anybody know how to lay linoleum flooring well? We bought some strips that are supposed to look like wood laminate that I tried laying down (cluey, serious question, no laying/wood jokes please) and screwed up massively. So I've got 3 boxes, a really sore back and a perturbed wife. help!

Ive down laminant squares before and did pretty good

but laminate strips sounds hard (no pun intended there either :wink: )

Mad_Dach5und

Is it like the Pergo brand snap-together laminate stuff, or something messy with glue?
Mon, 07/27/2009 - 1:06 PM Permalink
Redbear

it's like the snap together stuff but it's bendy. Called Reliant trafficmaster.

The absolute must-have tool for any laminate flooring job - a compound sliding Mitre Saw (preferably with a sawdust catcher).



Having one of those (with a really good blade in it) makes trimming those planks and squares a snap. I'd put the saw just outside whatever room you're working on - either the patio or the garage. The dust from cutting that laminate stuff is something you really don't want to be cutting indoors.
