Commercial Items Identified on my Commute

Image
I see a lot of interesting commercialitems on truck on I-75. When you make the commute many times you start to see the same items over and over again. Sometimes it is huge equipment tires, sometimes heavy equipment of different types. I see these huge blocks of aluminum going North. I think about what the mill must look like and where it is going. And how much aluminum foil a block like this will make. Using the Tesla Full Self-Driving (supervised) allows me to look for these things on the highway. The FSD also helps me through the crazy stop and goes. Easily over 70MPH and then sudden traffic at dead stops, frequently. I see accidents every trip. It is amazing there aren't more. A side note- aluminum foil has a shiny side and a dull side. The reason why is that the foil is folded as it goes through massive rollers. The shiny side is the side that faces the steel roller. The dull side faces itself - aluminum.

"Uh Oh, I don't know if it is going to fit"

I bought a 1-piece shower stall for the guest bath in this old brick house. Normally a one piece fiberglass stall of this size is for new construction only --before walls go up. I thought I might be clever in getting a 36 in x 48 in 1-piece bath stall into a bathroom measuring 54 in x 92 in. The window opening (with sashes and trim out is 36 and 1/2 inches wide). Of course it had to be rotated inside for installation. I am not sure if it was cleverness, a challenge, or needless extra effort. I hope the next remodeler enjoys this post.

It made it. Barely. Only, opening the bathroom doors inside is what made it possible. My neighbor came over to help.
