Build Log
DSM Yak 55 build
Sorry about the delay, I made a few changes to the way I was building my model over my recent trip to TX and wanted the build log to reflect those changes. My goal is for this log to help out those that have bought short kits off me since I did not include instructions. I will also cover a few basics of doing a fast and easy airbrush job.
For paint on this model I used Createx Wicked colors thinned about 50/50. I use Createx wicked reducer mixed 70/30 with watter. I find this mix to spray the best out of my brush. Ive found that combo to also resist FLA when peeling the vinyl. I spray my base color with a fan tip around 20 psi, and a normal dot tip around 10-15 psi for my fades/detail work. I use the higher pressure for doing the long fades, I find this to be the easiest method for getting long constant fades. Doing airbrush fades/highlights is not a hard skill to learn, a little practice and anyone can do it. The best trick Ive found is to follow the edge of the template with my eyes and not the edge of the paint. I also do aprox 3 coats(see photo's) this helps keep the weight down as well as give a nice constant color. I flash dry my paint with a heat gun. Next post I start building!
EDIT: Video added from Gary's youtube channel, thanks Gary!

Before beginning construction on your model I'd like to cover a few basics of working with depron and a few pointers to help your model fly as good as possible. First! a flat building surface is a must!!!! the flat carbon spars we use can easily be distorted if not glued to your model on a flat surface! If you notice all of my gluing is done on a VERY flat fuse jig I built for building giant scale planes. Its built out of 1" birch ply and works very nice. Remember a model is only as good as the tools used to build it(don't forget you are one of those tools!) take your time and double check your model with a square whenever possible. Also always lay down wax paper between your model and the building surface to insure you do not glue it down!!!
Tools I recommend keeping on hand for construction:
36" or longer straight edge(you can get the one seen in the photo's for less that $10 at home depot, its well worth the investment to get one)
Hobby knife(xacto or similar)
Box of fresh blades(nothing cuts foam better than a fresh blade, using a dull blade will lead to tearing the foam rather than cutting it. A tip to save money is to use fresh blades for making the important cuts and then discard them to a pile of "carving" blades for removing CA ect. having two handles makes this easier )
Note for working with foam safe CA, foam safe does not like to kick off on its own and will always require kicker. Kicker is not your friend, it makes CA dry very brittle, Always USE AS LITTLE KICKER AS POSSIBLE!!! I use an empty eye dropper to apply kicker, this works very good for foam models where you do not want to baptize the model.
Cutting Carbon fiber: I know many people use a pair of side cutters to cut rod, I do not agree with this due to the fact that it often crushes the end of the rod. Instead, I simply score the rod all the way around it where i want it to break(much like snapping drywall) and gently deflect the rod with both hands. If you have never used this method practice it on a scrap piece of carbon. Its very easy and you can accomplish a very clean cut.
Prepping carbon fiber: I always prep my carbon before installing it by sanding any surface that will come in contact with the glue. I also wipe down the carbon with a little rubbing alcohol. The goal of this is to scratch the out side layer of the carbon to allow for the best bond possible. Wiping it down cleans off the dust from sanding.
coming up next, I start installing radio gear. Final landing gear/motor mount to come tomorrow.

Oh yeah; Now that I have done it all wrong, you come out with a build thread. You are gonna pay for this one. I'm gonna fly your planes at the Lubbock fly-in, and not mine Any way I am building one of the Yaks. Just need my motor and ESC. Waiting on both in the mail Talk at ya later. Roy
Tomorrow I will finish the radio gear/landing gear. Sorry for the delay.
Radio gear used:
Motor: Hacker a-10-9l(gws9x4.3)
ESC: thunderbird 6
Aileron servo:HS-65
Tail servo(s): JRs185's
Battery:nano tech 370 or 460's(460's for outdoor flying)
Ive tried almost every setup on the planet for this size model and I find this to be hands down the best set up for a freestyle plane. The JR servo's are lightning fast and make flying indoors much easier. The 65 is the ONLY servo I do not push flat when doing a climbing flat spin.

BTW to anyone interested, short kits are available for both the 34" and 32" versions of the 55. Short kits are $20 and $25 respectively. All short kits contain quality CNC cut Depron Aero parts, and pre beveled CNC hinges as shown in my build(short kits are foam parts only) full kits will be available upon the launch of my web site coming shortly...if you are interested in a short kit please send me a PM, Thanks for looking!
A video of me flying the 34" version at SPEF earlier this month:
Where in the postal system is my motor???A package from Ia. is taking 10 days to get here via first class mail. Could have ridden a pony here faster Oh well, may be that I'm not to fly this one. It has a different paint scheme, that will definitely make Gary's eyes bleed big time. Somebody give me some answers and enthusiasm. Roy Roy is painting again
Nice job!
Very cool super simple paint job! I hope you don't mind if i steal your paint scheme for my DSM yak. Also very informative build pics and tips. I hope to get started on my yak tomorrow.
A flying buddy just got a 34" kit, he sent me this pic last night.
hi there Chris, ive tryied to send u a couple messages about how to get a kit from you but it isnt showing ive sent them, not sure why, but i'm very interested in one of the kits not sure what size since i will be flying outdoors all the time in no wind, what u think??
Hey Mikey,
I did get your PM about the kit. I highly recommend the 34" to people that are new to flying indoor, They fly slower and can be easier to keep up with. The 32" has a slightly higher wing loading and can handle the small breeze much better. The 32"'s do fly faster but are capable of more in the air. I'd probably recommend the 32" to you....or my new 31" epp yak more info coming soon on the epp yak.
DSM 34" Yak 55
This is one of many indoor foamys that Dark Side Models Produces. I can say they have really evolved over the past fiew years. The preformance of the new Yaks are incredible! Chris has many planes designed for the new 3D Pilot to the advanced. For those of you interested in getting started in the wonderful world of indoor 3d give one of his EPP planes a try. You won't be disappointed!! These kits are refined to have the best performance available. DSM is quality! I have been a fan since the start.

If it weren't for her bruises and his bruises, I wouldn't believe her. Her behavior was erratic and her accusation of Elliot was really a nail in her coffin. HOWEVER, I don't buy HIS story of:
"I'm not into rough sex, but she wanted it rough and if I didn't do it rough, she would bite or scratch me, so I gave her what she wanted."
Sorry, don't buy it. If you don't want to engage in rough sex, you don't choke the hell out of somebody. If you don't want to have rough sex and somebody bites you that damn hard, you stop.

Police Search for Second Suspect in Petco Armed Robbery
FREDERICK, Md. - Surveillance video shows two men who police say robbed the Petco on West Patrick Street in Frederick last Halloween, but what you don't see is perhaps the most frightening element of the crime."One of the suspects as they entered had a stun gun, also known as a taser, and used it on the female employee several times," said Cpl. Jon Holler of the Frederick Police Department.
The employee was attacked with the stun gun. Police say the two suspects also tied up a store manager while they raided the place. Police say Alfred Hollaway is now behind bars and faces several criminal charges, including armed robbery, robbery, assault and theft. Detectives say they were able to trace Hollaway's DNA from a pair of gloves the man wore into the store manager's office and left at the scene
"The evidence was sent to the Maryland State Police Science's Division. It was tested and analyzed by the DNA and during that they were able to link it to a convicted offender in Maryland which is Alfred Dorsey Hollaway," said Cpl. Holler.
Police say the two suspects hid inside the store in an area under construction, and when the store closed they tied up the store manager and the one employee who was also assaulted with taser.
Police say no animals were hurt but the robbers did get away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
As for the second person seen in the surveillance video, detectives with the Frederick Police Department say they do have leads but have yet to make an arrest.
This is an ongoing investigation as police continue to search for that second suspect. Anyone with any information should contact the Frederick Police Department at (301)-600-TIPS.

Basement Plumming Rough-in
2 Attachment(s)
My home is about 5 years old and has a bathroom rough-in in the (yet) unfinished basement. Before I can frame the bathroom, I want to plan where the tub (or shower), toilet and sink will go. The rough-in doesn't make sense to me and I hope you guys can help me figure it out.
First, there is a 12" square hole in the floor, centered about 14" from the insulated outside wall. See picture. I thought this hole was for the bathtub P-trap but I dug about 4 inch deep and I couldn't find any drain pipe inside... What is the purpose of this hole if there is no drain in it?
Second, there are 2 pipes sticking out (see picture) - a 3" white pipe located about 9-10 inches from the (future) wall and a black 5" pipe located about 2 ft from the first pipe. If the 3" pipe is toilet drain than it's too close to the wall. Could the 5" pipe be for a toilet? If so, what's the purpose of the 3" pipe?
OK, easy enough.
The 3" drain is the toilet.
The 5" black pipe is a backflow preventer (thank your plumber and building inspector for installing it and requiring it)...It keeps the sewer from backing up into the basement in the event of a main street line backup. You can cut it flush with the floor and cap it. Just leave it accessible so it can be serviced. Do not run any pipes into it or modify its inner-workings in any way. Also don't let any debris get into it. You need it, I promise.
The 12" hole is in fact the location for a tub/shower drain. There probably won't be a trap in there, but there should be a pipe stubbed in there somewhere. Keep digging. Plan on installing your own trap in this hole.
The horizontal stub on the vertical pipes is your sink drain. The vertical pipes are vents, and need to remain. You may have to cut them and re-glue them with couplings to get your framing in and around them. Install a trap under your sink.
The 3" pipe should be no closer to the wall than 15" (to the center of the pipe). Either move the wall or knock out a little concrete and move the pipe where you want it. Just rent a small demolition hammer (mini jackhammer) and chip out around the pipe. Glue new fittings and pipe as necessary and pour new concrete.
Actually the toilet should be 15 + 1/2 from side walls and 12 + 1/2 from the back wall.
Sounds like if you're nine inches away, then you're pretty much the depth of a 2x4 wall too close. Maybe whoever plumbed your house didn't know you were putting up another wall behind the toilet? :whistling2:
Thats going to be difficult to do with cleanouts so low to the ground. I don't know why they would have done THAT already.... Your baseboard might end up hitting those.
You might just have to notch the bottom plate and cut the pipes as low as you can and still be able to get a coupling on it, and then drill holes above later as needed.
Yup, I should have said 15" from the finished face of the wall. :thumbsup:
The cleanouts appear to be pointing away from the bathroom...Perhaps in an unfinished area.
Thanks, Guys! This is very helpful. I didn't know I had a sewer backflow preventer - I suppose our town has some useful codes after all...
The toilet drain pipe is located exactly 12" from the center of the vent pipes (what were they thinking :no:). If the sheet rock is installed flush with the pipes - I may be able to use a 10" toilet... We'll see. I will finish the wall before installing the toilet so worst case I'll move the 3" stub out a little. Thanks for that tip.
thekctermite you are correct - the cleanouts are pointing into the utilities room, which I am not going to finish.
I don't like the location of the 12" shower hole - it is right in the center of the back wall. It may work out for a shower but not not a bath. :(
There's often not enough forethought that goes into rough plumbing for future baths.
For that toilet, you might consider an offset flange. They'll buy you an inch or two with minimal removal of concrete.
Hey, a sewage backflow preventor! It's not only good for when the city sewer backs up but also if your sewer pipe breaks! I didn't have one and my sewer pipe broke. Raw sewage (well, at least ours) started coming up out my basement bathtubs drain (we don't use our basement but it has a full bathroom) filling up the tub and eventually overflowing onto the floor. Not pretty, not only did I have to pay to have my sewer pipe replaced I had to destroy the basement bathroom and rip out and replace the bottoms of the walls (now that was hell) as they'd absorbed sewage.
By the way, check to see how fast your elbow occurs in that toilet drain. We tried 3 toilet brands and all had problems flushing in our basement so we brought in the pro's. The plumbers said the 90 under our basement toilet is like immediate, they'd never seen one transition so fast there is no distance... probably to make pitch. It turns so fast it must be interfering with flushing, only powerflush toilets (or getting a raised platform for our toilet) will likely work. Can't say it's common.
Another real benefit of having a dedicated backflow for just the basement fixtures is that if your sewer line or the main line clogs, you won't get backflow into your basement fixtures when you flush an upstairs toilet or run water down the drain.
Some plumbers make the mistake of not taking that into account, and they "protect" the entire house right where the main drain goes out of the house. That's great until the blockage is somewhere within the main drain in the house before that backflow device. A couple flushes is all it takes and :censored:
I agree with the kctermite that you might be able to use an offset flange. The only one I would use is made by Sioux Chief (no, I don't own stock). It is the only Offset flange I have seen that will pass a 3" ball. It also has an adjustable flange ring that spins 360 degrees if needed. If your piping is deep enough to use this it will save you some jackhammer work.

Europe Markets Make Solid Gains
Canada's benchmark TSE 300 managed to close up 33.4 points to 6832.40 after a very choppy day. U.S. indices fell after the as-expected FOMC announcement of a 50-basis-point rate cut, but stocks bounced back to close on a strong note and this was a support for the TSE 300. Of the 14 subindices, seven closed up -- lead by Utilities and Oils, while Conglomerates and Communciations issues lead the other seven subindices lower.
Europe markets finished higher. In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index was up 46.70 points, or 0.98%, to 4,832.30. An index of U.K. manufacturing shrank, and growth in housing prices slowed, according to new economic data. In France, the CAC 40 added 40.09 points, or 1%, to 4,044.66. In Germany, the DAX Index gained 18.82 points, or 0.44%, to 4,258.79. Chancellor Schroeder said he sees strong GDP growth in 2002, and called the slowdown in 2001 "temporary."
Asia markets ended higher. The Nikkei gained 164.28 points, or 1.65%, to 10,136.56, led by autos and banks. In Hong Kong, the market was closed for a holiday. On Monday, the Hang Seng surged 349.91 points, or 3.64%, to 9,950.70.

Hannah Penn hopes to turn experience into a musical opportunity
Each year, the Portland Opera recruits apprentices through its Studio Artist program. Most of them come for two years, display their talents and leave.
Hannah Penn of Clackamas stayed.
'I really loved Portland, I didn't want to move away,' says Penn, 31, a Studio Artist alum who will perform the lead role in one of the opera's season-ending Maurice Ravel shows, 'L'Enfant et les Sortiléges' ('The Bewitched Child') at the Newmark Theatre.
The opera's program helps aspiring singers bridge school and career. Steven Brennfleck of Trenton, N.J., concludes his Studio Artist stint with roles in 'L'Enfant' and 'L'Heure Espagnole' ('The Spanish Hour'). A former choral conductor at Desales University in Pennsylvania, he took the Portland Opera opportunity to try to make something of his singing career.
'It's going to be very hard to leave Portland,' says Brennfleck, 28. 'But, for a singer in my position, I need easy access to New York City, where there are auditions going on all the time.
'The opera company has been fantastic. Incredibly supportive place to work.' He especially enjoyed the personal direction of Christopher Mattaliano, opera general director, on some productions - including the finales.
There are usually four singers as part of the Studio Artist program. One left this year, leaving tenor Brennfleck, mezzo soprano Daryl Freedman and baritone Nicholas Nelson.
Brennfleck says such apprenticeships are important.
'If you don't have your foot in the door by the time you're 30, you can pretty much not count on having a substantial career,' he says. 'When I started (26), I was on the older end. Kind of scary to think.'
Brennfleck will head back East to forge his career.
Penn made a name for herself by substituting in the lead role in 'Carmen' as a member of the Studio Artist program in 2007. 'I was lucky, excited about the process of 'covering' the role,' she says. 'I knew all the music and words. A very dramatic introduction to Portland Opera.'
A mezzo soprano who hails from rural Indiana and grew up on the East Coast, Penn has performed twice for the Tacoma Opera, but she hasn't done any formal auditions since leaving the Studio Artist program in spring 2009. She has done various singing engagements in Portland, including with dance troupe BodyVox, all the while completing her music doctorate at New England Conservatory last fall.
'Now I'm going to hit the audition circuit hard,' she says, 'try to get more consistent work.'
The Ravel double bill will be 7:30 p.m. April 1, 5, 7 and 9 and 2 p.m. April 3 at the Newmark Theatre, 1111 S.W. Broadway. Tickets start at $75 and are available by calling 503-241-1802.

I have done a few of these conversions.. So, here's a quick list of what *may* need to be changed/modified/altered/replaced:
1. Cooler lines (the later 80's have cooler lines that are spaced farther apart. 97 & later will have this. The earlier ones will have the lines closer together just like the 4L60E, TH-350, TH-700R4. You want the LATER 80e's though (97 & on) as they have some internal GM updates to make them a bit stronger than the predecessors.
2. Cross-member location will change as the mount sits further back on the 80. Think cut, re-weld, or buy after-market or universal cross-member kit.
3. Output shaft on an 80E is LARGER and has a higher spline count so you will need an 80 or TH-400 yoke.
4. Driveshaft length will change as the 80E is longer than the 60.
5. The wiring harness will have to be modified, or purchase an after-market harness, or re-pin the existing harness.
6. The PCM will have to be re-flashed to work properly. We have seen several attempts at local "tuner shops" to modify the 60e program but IT DOES NOT WORK. You MUST reflash the PCM.
7. The floor pan, or transmission tunnel, may have to be "modified" for the larger trans to fit.
8. On some vehicles that have the exhaust cross over, or under, or around, the transmission, the exhaust will have to be cut out for clearance and be re-worked to fit around the trans.
9. On some 80E's there are 2 speed sensors. You only need to connect to the one closest to the rear of the transmission. Your electrical connector may, or may not, reach the speed sensor on the 80E as it is on the drivers side, and the 60E is on the passenger side (1996 & later, earlier 60E's had it on the drivers side as well).
There are a couple things I'm forgetting but I'm in a rush.. Sorry.

On standing as Labour leader
'I knew time was of the essence. My fear was that Gordon would just move in and it would be a fait accompli, and I knew Tony was the right person for the job. .. Tony had always been more appealing to the general public than Gordon, and more grounded in the realities of everyday life. What could be more grounding than bringing up a young family? Ironically, Tony was always saying, "Gordon, if you really want to be leader, you need to get married ..." Getting Gordon to stand aside was no easy task.'
On the Granita 'myth'
'Back in London there was yet another meeting with Gordon. It was at Lyndsey's [Cherie's sister's] house ... This was the meeting where essentially it was agreed that Tony would stand unopposed and Gordon would be Chancellor. As for Granita, they did meet up there a day or two later. But by then it was all done and dusted. The Granita meeting was basically for them to talk about the announcement. It wasn't the forum for the kind of stormy discussions that had preceded it. No way would that have happened in public, in a restaurant.'
On Gordon Brown
'At the first cabinet meeting of the new Labour government, the new Chancellor announced he was not going to take the salary increase and he put pressure on the others not to accept it either ... I couldn't believe it. All my calculations were based on that increase.
'I remember sitting in the kitchen at Number 10, putting my head in my hands and staring at the now completely redundant financial breakdown, as Tony tried to calm me down. I wouldn't be calmed down. How dare Gordon do that? He was a bachelor living on his own in a flat with a small mortgage.'
On the third term
'There was no doubt that in April 2004, with Gordon rattling the keys above his head, Tony suffered a crisis of confidence as to whether he was still an asset to the Labour party. I remained determined that Tony was not going to resign, that he was going to fight the next election and win it. I was convinced that if Tony failed to stand for a third term, it would be seen as a response to criticism of the war. It would be read by history as a tacit admission of failure. I worried that he was responding to a Guardian-type intelligentsia who would never forgive him for Iraq even if he were to flagellate himself in front of them.'
On standing down
'Gordon wanted to be Prime Minister so much he failed to understand that, had he been prepared to implement Tony's programmes on internal reform - academy schools, foundation hospitals and pensions - Tony would have stood down. Instead Tony felt he had to stay and fight for the things he believed in.'

What a tragedy. Hard to know for certain, but it's probably safe to say that the child didn't have quite enough training (at 6), to be left to his own devices, apparently. The kid's going to have to live with that for a long time.

Soldier home for Father's Day accidentally killed by son | News Bizarre | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
MANILA, Philippines Police say a 6-year-old boy accidentally shot dead his father, a soldier home for Fathers Day after fighting Muslim rebels in the south.
Police Officer Hermogenes Capili says Private First Class Apolonio Pacioles asked his son to fetch his .45 caliber pistol at their home in Manilas Quezon City suburb early Sunday.
Police Officer Edwin dela Cruz says the boy got the weapon and removed its magazine as his father had taught him, not knowing that a bullet was loaded in the chamber.
Capili says Pacioles ignored the boy who then cocked the guns hammer with his finger on the trigger and shot his 45-year-old father in the abdomen.
Dela Cruz says the boy and his mother reported the incident to police.

That's terrible, kid was definately too young to be handling a loaded pistol. I carry a 1911 OWB, for now, and sometimes around the house I'll unholster it and put it on a table or something wherever I'm sitting. But if I get up to leave the room my pistol goes with me, even for a short trip.
My prayers to the family.
WOW.. And that is over in the Philippines?? I wouldn't have my kids handling any pistol without my supervision.. I give the dad tons of credit for teaching them young, but I'm thinking he wasn't quite there yet.. Sad for sure..
Who would let ANY child pick up (let alone send him for the gun) a gun and watch him cock it......not good in so many ways.

Yup, definite failure there for sure. Not sure why you would let your kid point your pistol at you, loaded or "unloaded."
Whether or not the kid had training it's a very sad thing to read. I will admit the father was in the wrong by letting his 6yr old son grad his 45. But even then i'm sure he didn't expect that, i'm very sorry to the family and my prayers are with you. Damn, a man that was fighting for our rights and country....so sad!
Hate to talk about the dead, but Dad was a *******.
Nope kid was not old enough or ready to be fetching dads gun, and dad was not thinking to send the kid after it in the first place.
More terrible than the dads death is that the kid will probably never get over what happened, nor will the mom either.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Boy I guess there aren't enough headlines in the US this week for the anti agenda. Now we have to look overseas to find stories that make guns look evil.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
Teaching kids about guns and gun safety is awesome. This kid was to young to be handling a gun witout better supervision. I hope the kid finds some way to deal with this without to many problems.
A terrible accident that could have been avoided. The son will never be the same.

Creation and other cultural tales are important to framing a culture's beliefs and values -- and passing those on. The Wabanaki -- Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot -- Indians of Maine and Nova Scotia tell stories of a cultural hero/creator, a giant who lived among them and who promised to return.
Young men and women in the 19th century often went away from home -- sometimes for a few months, sometimes for longer periods -- to attend academies, seminaries, or schools run by individuals. While there, they wrote letters home, reporting on boarding arrangements and coursework undertaken, and inquired about the family at home.

Hey fans, ever dream of playing in the NFL? Oh yeah! The position I would love to play may not get the glory like others, but I can see myself as a linebacker.
I play center and linebacker for my little league football team. The rush that you get from reading the other team's play and being in the middle of messing it up for them is awesome. Tackling the runner, batting the ball away from a receiver, or getting an interception, now that's my kind of job!
Don't get me wrong, I also love snapping the ball, but playing defense is my NFL dream position.
So fans, don't just dream ... stay awake and become! Enjoy the games and stay active!

[Poster Dwelling; Land, Market and Economy], Delhi 2008:
The orthodox economics that prevails in 'Market Economies' suggests that all social and cultural relations are the result of market forces. Conversely, historians, anthropologists and sociologists suggest that markets are, in fact, deeply embedded in cultural practices, social conventions and local traditions. Often, 'real markets' rub shoulders with an 'ideology of Markets'. Real markets operate within the social, cultural and legal constraints of particular localities and customs. But increasingly they co-exist with 'conceptual' Markets. In Special Economic Zones for example, local traditions, customs and laws are suspended. In their place, the 'society', 'culture' and 'law' of 'The Market' reigns. Between 'real markets' and the 'ideology of the Market' lie complex issues of labor, access to land and knowledge, ecology, politics and power. The surface of Poster Dwelling explores these interrelations and their relevance for the environment.

This is a short but interesting interview in the New Scientist that explores Craig Venter's partnership with Exxon Mobil to turn living algae into oil producing factories.
When asked what the desired outcome will be, Venter says:
"Our aim is to have a real and significant impact on the billions of gallons [of oil] that are consumed worldwide. Materials used to make a vast range of products - clothing, carpets, medicines, plastics - come from oil. The goal is to try and replace as many of these as possible. The expectation is that doing it on this scale will take five to 10 years."

staining siding question
I just purchased a new home that has cedar siding. It is due for a new coat of stain, some areas are still good, but others that got more sun need attention sooner. My questions are what is the easiest and fastest way to prep the wood for a new coat, I have a power washer and have a fair amount of experience painting, when I was younger I made a extra money doing it on the side. My goal is to do 2 sides before winter and do the other 10 sides next year. Its all single story with some valted ceilings so nothing over 15ft,but house is 3000sq ft so I have a lot of work ahead of me. I will also re-caulk all seams. Another question is how can I tell if it was water or oil based stain? thanks for any input, tom
Is it semi-transparent, semi-solid, or solid stain on it now? This may determine what cleaning and conditioning product you should use. Does it just need cleaning or is there power shaving, scraping and sanding really called for in this situation?
When you mention re-caulking, you mean vertical seams between boards right? You do not want to caulk the undersides of siding. As one member of this forum mentioned, think of the siding like fish gills that need to breathe.
I have mentioned before I think we jump to using pressure washers too often but it will probably work in this instance. Just remember cedar is fairly soft and you can carve it up badly with too much pressure and too concentrated a tip. You also want to be careful atomizing some cleaners through a washer. Make sure you do not force water up under the siding too.
For no particular reason justifiable anymore I suppose, I always liked solvent based semi-transparent stains and even semi-solid stains because I thought they penetrated better. With the modern acrylics, I am not so sure and my first choice for a solid stain would be Sherwin Williams Waterbased Acrylic Woodscapes without question.
Can you still get solvent based stains where you are? You might update your profile with basic geographic information so we know where you are. It sometimes effects recommendations.
thanks for reply, Iam pretty sure its a semi transparent, Iam thinking it might be a water based, by the way its peeking, and flaking in some areas. I would only re caulk along horizontial seems, not all of the siding boards. I live in boyne city Michigan, hot summers(not this year) and cold winters. I do prefer oil based stains, seems to soak in better not sit on the surface. Would bleach and water be a good cleaner? I need to be careful cleaning I have 1500sq ft of freshly stained deck to be careful of. Previsious owner had it done before he put it up for sale He used thompsons water seal oil based.
Thompson's water seal is evil so I am suspect of the stain. Good news is it seldom hold out for more than a season.
In any event, you never want to atomize things like ammonia or chlorine through a power washer anyhow. Doing so is a good way to burn lung or cornea tissue just to start. You may need to invest in a pump type garden sprayer.
As for what to use? I would go to the paint store and get the cedar cleaning and conditioning series recommended. Or use the search engine on this site for recommendations. Usually the best are two part. One to do the work the other to stop and neutralize the chemical reaction.
A semi-transparent should have soaked into the wood grain so I wonder if you have a semi-solid stain if you are seeing flaking. No matter. What do you think it will take to cover and blend what discoloration you might have and what is still sticking/showing with what is not? You may have to step up to a semi-solid for this purpose alone? As you step up from semi-transparent to semi-solid you leave more pigment on the surface.
I think there is a lot to be said for acrylic products as you start leaving pigment on the surface. I still prefer penetrating oil stains for truly semi-transparent applications.
Obviously you are planning on quality products for this. Behr gets ripped to shreds for its stain products faster than for its paint.
I think your right about going with a semi solid. Would it hide more of the inconsistencies that its going to have without stripping it to bare wood. I just power washed a section with just water and it removed mildew and cleaned it pretty good. So you think it would be best to go with an water based stain and maybe a shade darker, to keep a uniformed color? Oil based would hide less and wouldn't soak in with at least 70% of stain still on the wood? I did notice a lot of boards are loose so I need to re nail them. Also should I caulk the boards where it meets the trim? There not and most are a tight fit. Thanks for your help.
Picking the color to blend is up to you and depends on how dark you want to go. If you like what you have in general, I would tend to stay lighter if it works for you and if the lighter pick will blend.
Remember, as you add pigment to sit on the surface, you do start to lose the look of the original grain. You will still retain texture.
As for caulking between trim and siding. Always tricky but both expand and contract at different rates so if they windows are properly flashed, water is not getting to and rotting the trim, I would be tempted not to caulk and especially so if the siding fits reasonably tight.

YouView is, as we suspected, the official title of Project Canvas, and will be arriving in the UK next year. The service, which will combine the best of Freeview terrestrial TV with iPlayer style delivery, will be available, subscription free, via set-top boxes.
The announcement comes as the seven partners; the BBC, ITV, BT, Channel 4, TalkTalk, Arqiva and Five, become incorporated as Youview TV Limited. The new company has a website and everything, which can be found at www.youview.com. It can also be folllowed on Twitter at twitter.com/YVTV.
The set-top boxes are expected to arrive in the first half of 2011, and will offer an EPG that goes back 7-days, enabling you to catch up on anything you've missed from any of the channels involved. If you've ever used the BBC iPlayer, you'll probably have a good grasp of how it works.
The set-top boxes will enable you to pause the TV, and record a series at a touch of the button – again, if you've ever used a PVR, you'll know how that works too.
"We are creating an exciting consumer brand which will stand for a better TV experience for UK homes", said new YouView CEO, Richard Halton in a statement.
"Connected TV creates all kinds of creative possibilities, for existing networks as well as local services and new developers of interactive applications. It all adds up to great news for TV audiences. I look forward to working closely with the creative and developer communities to open up exciting possibilities for viewers to discover and enjoy content in new ways.""
Of course, not everyone is as happy at the prospect of the new service, which if it delivers as it promises, should be nothing less than brilliant. Virgin Media and United for Local Television have both lodged complaints with Ofcom, and we understand Sky aren't too chuffed either.
We're not sure exactly why but we have a feeling it might be to do with free, vs not free,which we suspect might upset the apple (lower case) cart for some.

Roger was born August 8, 1981 in Wollerau Switzerland. It was not until 1998 that Federer became a professional tennis player in the ATP. Federer has the world record for most Grand Slam titles won (16). He held the number one spot in the world for 237 consecutive weeks. Roger is primarily a grass court player meaning he prefers playing on grass courts because he feels the most comfortable playing on it. Roger has many rivals in the tennis world. One of his well-known rivals is Rafael Nadal. Roger and Nadal have competed for the number one spot for many years and whenever they play it is always a spectacular show. Many people in the world believe that Federer is in fact the best tennis player of all time because of the level of determination and patience he has on the tennis court.
Roger Federer is not only a good tennis player, but he is a good role model. His calmness and skill on the court is an inspiration to many, but the level of sportsmanship that he shows as number 1 is incredible. Personally Roger Federer is my hero because even though he shows great skill on the tennis court he never throws his racket, is always calm, and whether he wins or loses he always gives a smile and a firm handshake to his opponent. I am also a fan of the sport of tennis so watching him play also lets me improve on my own techniques. Whenever I am feeling a bit aggravated on the tennis court, or I am down a few points I always remember to think about what Roger Federer would do and how my behavior can change the outcome of a tennis match therefore Federer makes a difference in my life every time I step on the court.
Roger is currently still alive; he is currently also ranked number 2 in the world. Roger is still playing professional tennis and his level of playing is still amazing. He is the all time leader in earnings in the ATP world tour. Roger is married to Mirka Vavrinec who is also a professional tennis player.
Hero is something we are able to call Roger Federer. He is agile, determined, tough, and kind. He is an inspiration, leader and devoted husband. Roger Federer has changed my life and others around the world. Roger is an icon, and a legend. Therefore Roger Federer is indeed a hero.

It's amazing 9 years ago when pregnant with my oldest son, I didn't think to worry about anything. Even after getting the news that my son would be born with hydrocephalus, being told he would need surgery to place a shunt and things should be fine. Little did I know when my 7lb 11oz sweet baby boy came into this world that the struggle to live would be much more than I anticipated. Now that all the huge issues have been taken care of and Kadyn is at his most healthiest e has been in years there is 1 issue that we seem to struggle with the most and that is his epilepsy. When he was born he wasn't born with epilepsy. It happened when he got his first shunt infection. His first and probably worst bout of meningitis. He started having seizures then and since then they seem to change and get worse. We have battled this ongoing health issue for years. You name the medication we have tried it and for Kadyn he had the opposite affect. He would have more seizures and more intense seizures while on medication. We have also been on the ketogenic diet for years, which has seemed to help the most. He doesn't have as many anymore. Kadyn also recently had a vns placed, which I am less then impressed with for him, but hay we tried. It's time to just face it, and deal with it. Kadyn has untraceable epilepsy. He will continue to have seizures no matter what we do. No matter the medication, diet restrictions or devices his seizures will pop through. Being able to control them and get them to stop while at home is my only concern. Which I have been able to do with his Diastat. It's all that matters to me. I can't cure Kadyn, I can't fix everything that he has going on with him, and let's be honest I don't know how much time I have with him. I can only

I don't update much. my apologies.
I've been preoccupied lately and well I just do not update much. So much is going on! But do know that Kadyn is pretty healthy and happy little guy! He just turned 8! Can you believe it 8 years old! Seems like yesterday I was that scared first time mom, who was about to birth a perfect little boy!
This post I am going to dedicate to one of many of Kadyn's abnormalities. One that I haven't talked about a lot because it really does not bother him. Kadyn has horseshoe shaped kidneys. His kidneys are fused together unlike normal kidneys that are separate. This does not bother him or affect him in anyway. He also has cysts on his kidneys but it was determined that they were just cysts and no further treatment was needed unless they started to bother him. He uses the bathroom just fine so I doubt they are bothering him.

I don't complain too much but...
Today I was at work, when I get a text from Harvey, "Kadyn puked while on the bus." I told Harvey to keep an eye on Kadyn. He did fall asleep pretty much as soon as he got home. Now what really upsets me is my non verbal 7 year old sat on that bus covered in his own vomit. I am unsure for how long, as I was not here to ask the questions. Why? Why were we not called and given the option to come get him at the next bus stop. Would it have slowed the bus down, probably but I don't care, my son sat in his own vomit. I'm not happy about this at all. Is it because he is non verbal and can not tell me how long he sat there. Why did he vomit? Did he have a seizure that no one saw? Why was this not seen. Why isn't a highly epileptic child not being watched? I totally understand that there are other children on the bus, but I do know the other children medically are not as fragile as Kadyn. I feel so bad for Kadyn. My heart is just shattered into pieces right now. How can anyone just see a child puke and let them sit in it! I do not expect them to clean him up, but call me so I can come get my baby!!!! He maybe just a JOB to you, but he is my whole heart and soul to me. He deserves to be treated a lot better than that. He has been through so much and he has moved so many mountains to get where he is today. He deserves better! So I am getting the number to the highest person I can go to and I am filing a complaint. I will be taking Kadyn to school myself unless I can get his bus switched. Right now I can Hardly think to even type this. My heart is broken and my anger has probably never been this high before, but my fight for Kadyn is stronger and I'll fight for him forever.

I can..... WALK
It's been a very long journey. Many ups and downs, bumps, and road blocks, but after many detours and lots and lots of work, we have finally accomplished something. WALKING!! Yes, Kadyn can walk in his gait trainer! He does it without fuss most times.
Kadyn has not had a seizure since his surgery either. No seizures and they have started turning his VNS up to a low therapeutic level. It has not seemed to have bothered him at all!! Thank goodness!!!
Kyle is starting to come around Kadyn more, Kadyn's movements are so unpredictable that Kyle has been kicked in the face once or twice by Kadyn. It's by accident and Kadyn isn't being mean at all. Kyle has learned though to stay away from his feet. They are best friends and Kyle has even learned to say brother and will point at Kadyn, although this is usually followed by a "No!". Many 1 year olds favorite word.
Can you believe that this was Kadyn 7 years ago?? Boy has he grown sooo much!!! He has grown into a handsome strong boy and I am so proud to be his mom!

In need of a van
We are in real need for a van with a wheelchair ramp. I'm not even sure where to start to get help. Harvey and I can not afford it at all, but in order for me to get Kadyn to and from doctors appointments and to even just get him out of the house other than school. So if any of my followers can give me any information on how to get help for a van please email me. firstname.lastname@example.com. =) I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

VNS surgery.
Other than his seizures Kadyn is doing very well. He is happy and playful in between sleeping. Always smiling and very vocal.
The VNS process is going to be a slow one. Once placed they will give him 2 weeks to heal up and make sure everything is ok. Then they will turn the VNS on in office. Then once a week for about 6 weeks they will turn it up until it reaches the proper setting. He will also have a magnetic wand with him at all times. This wand will send more electric impulses when Kadyn does have a seizure. If that does not work we still have his rescue meds. We are hoping to not have to use them, and also not use the magnet either.
This has been quite a journey these past couple months, but I know things will get better. Kadyn normally has a bumpy road around this time of year and then he turns right back around and is much better. We just have to hang in there and do what is best for him. :)

Think you've made it? Consider yourself the BSD in the room? Well, in Davos, only one thing matters and its about color; the color of your badge. From the holographic awesomeness of the elite badge that enable secret elevators (and handshakes) to the less-than-awesome base colors associated with the press that are both follower and enabler of this event; Bloomberg TV's Erik Schatzker, with his tongue somewhat buried in its cheek, exposes what really matters in Davos among the elite of the elite...

Hypro® 1300X63 ETBN is a linear epoxy capped low molecular weight butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer based on Hypro® 1300X13. It is designed to function as a toughening agent for epoxy adhesives, coatings and composites applications.
Unlike traditional adducts of CTBN, Hypro® 1300X63 is free of residual epoxy resin and can be used to modify any resin system. As such, it achieves lower formulated viscosities at equal rubber content while maximising Tg and lap shear over resin adducts. Hypro® 1300X63 is fully reactive with conventional epoxy hardeners.

If you've accepted a deposit, then you have entered into an agreement of sale, even if there is no written documentation. There is no real legal or ethical reason not to show the boat to other potential buyers, as long as you do not enter into a subsequent agreement with them to sell them the same boat.
Accepting a deposit from one of them could possibly be construed as a fraudulent act, if the person who gave you that deposit turned around at some point and decided to take action against you, claiming that you failed to make them aware that the boat was already conditionally sold. Probably unlikely, but there are some real unusual folk out there.
Not a bad idea to show it and line up some backup buyers, in case the deal goes south, but if they want to give you money, it would be much better to have it put into escrow with documents clearly outlining that it is accpeted as an indication of the buyer's intention to make an offer to purchase, and does not consitute a sales deposit.
The safest thing to do would be show the boat to as many other people who want to see it, explain the situation to them, get their phone numbers and call them if the current buyer backs out.
I inquired about a pretty good deal on a boat listing this summer.
The broker said he had an offer pending survey. A back up offer in place with a deposit in had for that second offer plus a third offer in case the first two backed out. He then asked me if I wanted to be 4th on the list.
The boat sold at full price after survey to the first buyer.
I would love to have that sort of pressure to hold over the head of a buyer with some minor issues in the survey..."hey, turn it down, I have others in line waiting for you to back out"!!!
You are looking out for you, period. Line em up.
You should show your boat until you have a final deal.
You can anticipate that the buyer will come back with something after the survey. The something may be immaterial and you may be happy to concede and resolve the contingency. Or the something may be unreasonable and there is nothing as powerful being able to reference another interested party to help encourage current buyer to cut the baloney and get to his bottom line.
|Ditto that...it is SO easy for a buyer to walk away or not be able to get financing and there is NO compensation to the seller. The seller loses valuable time in selling season. There is no ethical conflict as long as the prospective 2nd buyer is told there is already a deal on the boat.
|You can show it and I see nothing wrong with that. You need to keep one thing in mind however - If the first buyer accepts the boat as is after the survey you must sell it to him even if you have a better offer. Probably the cleanest approach is to show it but not accept offers until the first deal goes bust.
|Where I come from (MD), its common practice to continue to list and even show the house until it closes. Don't know why it would be different on a boat. I probably wouldn't let them sail it, for all the obvious reasons.
I learn something new everyday. From my real estate transactions, I always thought that once a tentative deal was made (offer/deposit accepted), the ability to show a house was heavily frowned upon. I know all sorts of things can happen (buyer can't get financing, buyer can't sell exisiting property, etc.) but that usually is stipulated in the offer and the realtor and seller know this. I am surprised that even after an offer is accepted, a realtor still shows a property, even if the disclosure statement about it already having an accepted offer made.
I hope that I didn't imply that I think that the Seller, in this case the OP, should take his boat off the market. My only point was that he shouldn't actively show it. If someone is interested, the seller should take their info and say that an offer and deposit for the boat has been accepted, but if the deal falls through, he'll recontact them.
EDITED: I saw both posts TB and Kwaltersmi and change my tune a little. If showing a piece of property after an offer/deposit has been accepted to other interested buyers is the norm for the real estate industry, I guess it is okay. I personally wouldn't do it.
|Home and boat sales contracts have many similarities. During the process of purchasing my last home, we signed a P&S, but the broker still showed it to several others before the actual closing. The seller had six back-up offers - most at a higher offer than our accepted offer.
DrB - Most of your example assume he's going to sell the boat to a new buyer out from under the first buyer. His question was whether or not he could SHOW the boat to another person, not whether he could accept a higher/better offer from another person.
The seller needs to protect his best interest and have back-up offers/buyers ready in case the original deal falls apart. I sell real estate for a living and this sort of thing happens all the time. As long as the seller/broker is upfront about the pending sale and accepts the risk of something getting broken during a showing, there is no reason the boat (or house) can't be shown during the pending period.
Diasagree with others
If you have accepted a deposit and the offer, then you really shouldn't be showing the boat to other potential buyers until the person with the deposit either backs away from the deal or some goes amiss during the sea trial. If someone calls about the boat, you should tell them that you have taken a deposit on the boat from a buyer, take their name and number, and ask them if the deal falls through can you recontact them.
It's like buying a house, the seller accepts your offer and you put down a deposit until the home inspection. You stop looking because you have found the house, so you may have passed on other houses that meet your criteria. However, the seller shows it after they have accepted your offer and the person looking at the house says "I want it and will pay X dollars more than what your current offer is". If you were the seller, do you take the new offer? If so, you breach the contract and the buyer can sue. Another example, you see an add for a item in the paper that is a high dollar amount (car, TV, trip, etc.) and of limited quantity, but you can't get there before the sale or store closes. You call in and put a deposit on it until you can get in and fully inspect and pay for. You arrive only to find that the item was sold to a walk in customer. On the good side, you do get your deposit back.
Although Boat Purchase agreements are not as stringent as the buyer can basically walk at anytime without penalty, the principle is still the same. Ethically, I think it is wrong.
One more thing to consider. What if you show the boat to a another potential buyer, after accepting the deposit, and he/she breaks something on it while looking? Now the boat is different to the original buyer and they have every right to walk away. Then you've lost your buyer AND you have to fix the thing the "looker" broke.
