I'm still sanding,priming and block sanding - it's much too hot to work in the yard today. It's in the mid to high 80's but will return to the normal here for April, 50s and 60s by Wednesday
Hey buddy, I got the shield if you got the p/ns! I discovered something interesting about my welder....it works much better with a stronger current....the garages in my little apartment complex are all wired together on the same circuit. When I plug the welder into that circuit I get crappy looking welds but Saturday I ran an extension cord from the outlet near where the meters are and what a difference! I was welding pretty good for a novice!! So I'm not afraid to tackle some exhaust brackets!

Funny how you think the mid 80's is too hot for you and I think the 50's & 60's are too cold for me.....LOL! Actually I think 82 is about perfect!
