    Been a welder since 10yrs old and had it a few times. Not nearly as bad as when i was almost done honing a block in my 20s and a coworker was running up a detroit on the stand nearby in winter. It fogged the whole shop in coal and we were all breathing it. I mean i was trying not to as i finished up and punched out, they were standing right in it. I got violently, delirously ill for a week. No one else. Diesel fume can kill you pretty good.

    Due to carelessness/stupidity of my youth, I can't tolerate diesel or paint fumes at all anymore. Never used to bother me, but now if I pull the tractor in and close the doors too soon I get ill. Of course I grew up with dad burning jet fuel in one of these in the basement to save on gas bills which probably didn't help lol. k-1.jpg

    I’ve had it before. I got it once from torch cutting holes in metal floor deck all day long for pipes. I’ve had cases of the flu that were worse, but it’s still something best avoided.

    Ok, that’s as far as I’m taking this project. New bolts in the morning, mount them up then, I guess I’m starting on the master bathroom? 68901647-86B0-4DD6-B4E8-BA2E80549CCD.jpeg

    Never was finished. The doors are in and the drywall is on the walls. The ceiling is painted.
    The rest never existed before.
    It’s only been what, 8 years? 2B7318DE-C564-44CA-8B5C-1962DD0DACE8.jpeg 1852B512-FD04-4E5F-BED2-880579F6B866.jpeg D9E51588-C162-4977-AE40-D904ADE7CB4A.jpeg

    Found some old riding pictures from back in 2004. The Kawasaki was an 88 ZX7 and the Harley was an 2003 road king. B8934F7A-7ABE-4C4F-960E-51410905BE24.jpeg
