Title: Trying to stay busy while waiting on the Rec-Tec
Post by: TMB on February 02, 2015, 12:12:36 PM
Kimmie knows I'm like a kid at Christmas when I have a cooker on the way  :D :D    So she decides now would be a good time to build a table she's been wanting for the living room to keep me busy.  Here she is learning how to lay tile from my brother in law.  Me teaching her would be like someone telling there child how to do something in one ear and out the other but if someone else does it, it sticks

It's 3/4in x12 in board 4 ft long with tile on top and will be on sides as well

Here is the start of the table top, will grout Tuesday and seal Wed or Thursday.

 Will post completed table soon

Tommy - this is keeping you busy how?  ;) ;D ;D

My brother has the same tile on his kitchen wall / backsplash. Very nice!

Looking forward to the progress.

It was to keep me busy,  but teaching her how to wouldn't work so we went over to my sisters house so she could do it.

 I just sat and watched  :D :D :D :D :D :D   Dreamed about all the things I'm gonna cook on the Rec-Tec ;)

You might want to check with Rec-Tec about it being due Tuesday afternoon. That might be when it is due to the shipping hub, if that is the case they will call you sometime Tuesday morning to set up a probable Wednesday delivery.........hey...this aint Smokes first rodeo........... ;) ;)

Isn't gravity a wonderful creation, it's helped me unload a lot of stuff out of the bed of my truck too, and it also comes in handy when trying to put a cat in a pet carrier. :P

Between Tommy and the RecTec and Smoke and the Tendarub story, we could start a reality show that would run a whole season.

I'm gettin' about ready for the season finale...the money shots!!!

 I am trying to figure out what category of reality shows they would be...With the talk on the Tenda-Rub threads...that one could be a scary sci-fi saga......
And the Tommy and the Rec-Tec could be an adventure series with wild animals and construction issue.... :D ( Hey - it *IS* Alabama.... ;D)

Sorry for the delay in building the grill.  Kimmie insisted the table be grouted before doing anything else, so I went to my sister's house to finish the table.  Didn't know I was staying for dinner. 

Anyways, church tonight but Thursday is Rec-Tec night .  Will put it together and fire it up so more pictures to come
