Rare h20skibum Posted May 4, 2022 #56476 Share Posted May 4, 2022 So one project I got assigned this week was to replace the climbing wall on the grandkids play set. Monday morning I went to look at it, and found several rotted boards. So after a few measurements, it was off to Lowes for some treated lumber. It has been a while since I bought lumber, but I couldn’t believe how expensive it still is, and the poor quality. I must have looked through 100 pieces to find the seven pieces I needed to cut for the project. $120 of lumber looks like this. The new wall went up yesterday, but the new climbing holds didn’t get delivered till late yesterday. The new holds went on this morning. And since we watched the grandkids after school, it has already been kid tested and kid approved. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t sure if it would bother my back so I only did a couple laps. All was fine. Thanks everyone. It was really painful, but was much better the next day. Glad to hear you are feeling better!!! 31 minutes ago, John&LaLa said: Yes, Laura has been, but I haven’t. 2 sets of neighbors, and a ton of past sailing friends are joining us.

It was around $4.15 a few days ago, and I sure wasn't happy about that! Prices fluctuated as we left Naples and traveled home by car. I was shocked to see NJ was so much higher than Naples. I guess it's probably due to our wonderful Governor here.😫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas was around $4.15 2 weeks ago, end of last week jumped to $4.30 yesterday I paid $4.47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted May 5, 2022 #56497 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Something posted from a current Allure cruiser. (I just deleted) I guess I should be careful posting from another social media site. But, I deleted it. But a person on the allure said B2B cruisers no longer need to have a COVID test between cruises. Did not want to break the CC rules.

Flying in a few days early to see a little more of Seattle and then headed to Icy Strait Point, Skagway, Juneau and Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier. We haven't cruised since February 2020, so really can't wait. We thought we were cancelling because of my Mom, but my siblings are stepping up and told us to go while we can. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
