Grabber Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Today I Sprayed the entire exterior of the shop with Sherwin Williams "Super" paint. It has a 25 year warranty supposedly. My wife helped with all the masking and clean up and masking removal. Not to mention serving me cold drinks every hour. Now I need to get the trim painted. Much easier job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 My 2Cents... I met Rob years ago in cyberspace and in the flesh at the 50th Anniversary in Las Vegas. I am proud to call him a friend and know many others that have benefitted from his technical and experience-based posts. Further, his spiritualism and coaching those with substance abuse issues have him in line for sainthood - IMHO. Rob (Grabber) is "The Real Deal." WYSIWYG! How can anyone find fault with with a TS Member that utilizes this site to the fullest? My recommendation for those who "don't get where Rob is coming from," all you have to do is "change the channel" to something else... -Quadcam Grabber - Quadcam - JerseyGator Grabber is a true gentleman. I don't give a crap whether his thread is pinned or not. I am another of Rob aka "Grabber" friends. As QC and others have said, a great guy, do anything for you and who folking cares if this is pinned. Rob has contributed to this web site for years. I remember his little birdy friend back when we were Stangs Unleashed. I can't count how many folks stress levels he has helped reduce by his thoughtlessness, and his many photos. We had a great time at Dearborn 2011 and hope some day to go to his annual Shelby Event. Rob helping out by driving my Shelby to door for pictures, Romeo Engine Plant; JDB, I see you now have 148 post, most of which are complaining, bitching or moaning about one thing or another. WTF is your problem? Rob is a great guy and a friend to many here, not to mention an asset to this site. This is just a suggestion but why don't you try contributing something positive to this site instead of being such a Dick? I agree with these posts. Rob is a wonderful person and an asset to this forum. If someone has a problem with these threads than move on to something more to your liking. I enjoy them so I'll hang around. I'm lucky and honored to call Rob, Tana and David my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Grabber, I enjoy the read and views. Keep 'em coming. OK. After I get the trim all painted, I will post up some pic's of the finished product. I took the light fixtures down so I would not get any paint on them and my wife took them all apart and detailed them. So cool of her to do that. The masking took 3-1/2 hours to do and the painting took 8 hours to complete, including the clean up. My arms got a work out today swinging that little paint sprayer. Tana just gave me a few Advil's to relax the muscles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It look nice and clean, nice job as usually Rob Hans, When I built the shop in 2001 I used Miller paint. Then in 2005 I painted it with Super Paint. Now 8-1/2 years later I am putting another coat of the super paint on the shop. Since it is the 3rd coat of paint in 12-1/2 years it does not soak the paint up, I used 7 gallons of the Sherwin Williams "Super Paint" to coat the entire 30X48 foot building. The doors are 12X12 feet square. I painted those too. I still have the White trim to paint at the next weather break. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 The weather finally broke and we had a 72 degree day. Tomorrow will be 72 as well. Need to get out in the car tomorrow for sure. Anyways I put 2 coats of white "Duration" paint by Sherwin Williams on all the trim today. I am now done with the paint job. This drug out for a month due to the weather. Working week ends only on this weather dependent job is difficult in the NW in the fall months.

Grabber Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Even had time to mow and edge all the grass. Spent 9 hours outside today. Had the tunes cranked and enjoyed the day. The fall colors on the trees are a tell tale sign of Winter coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Looking ship shape there Rob ! I'm thinking that you should put up a sheetrock wall section inside the big garage so we all can autograph it when we come into town for Grabberfest !

Looks real nice glad the lawn recovered, looks like you got three blue spruces together, I like the grouping, your home and garage looks wonderful, always lots of work to keep it all up not to mention those cars of yours.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 We still have 8 inches of snow on the ground here in WA from 4 days ago and got hit with some freezing rain this morning. Try this: 1/3 cup of white vinegar, 2/3 cup of water. Put it in a spray bottle and squirt it on your windshield. Ice is GONE. Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the first wave release at 8am. We will be spending the night before the event in town so we can be very rested and ready to compete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOawfAhWYyk#t=42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
