Goal: Restore and assemble a solid wood dining table for the dining room.

What they say

Hide

a good kitchen. >> Yep. Click the bell and make sure you subscribed. It'll help Logan get a kitchen faster. >> So, this is the table they left behind. I refinished it. I didn't do a great job, but I did it. Big ass bench. So, one person had the right idea and they had what we call good nut discipline and they threaded the nuts back on there so they don't get lost. Someone else, maybe it was the same person, I don't know, did not thread them back on. And there is a nut missing. Do you think I'm in a position to throw that? Okay, down to the last nut. Then I got to go find one. That'll be fun. Every time I go look for anything, it's like an expedition. Actually, I'll take this one as a reference. This is hilarious. I went Well, one, it's dark out and I don't want to go to one of the shops to look for stuff. So, I have my Mustang parts in the garage. So, I just walked in there and I picked out one of my bolts from my Mustang bolt bags. And this one will fit perfectly. It's not going to fall apart. >> I was just up here thinking, "Oh, dang. I wish I brought my camera up here. I should be filming this cuz somehow I found myself on the roof." Meanwhile, I'm taking pictures on my phone like you idiot. So, here I am. I'm on the roof. This is how this goes. We had a water leak in the front of the motor home. Some cables over there. I think the old sealant gave gave way like the hatch on the Edmond Fitzgerald at 7:00 p.m.
