WAYWT - The Hard Labour Edition aka "Working in your workwear".

[scooter]

My 817 suffered a laceration to the outside of the right calf, last week. Some stitches will be required. Until then, I opted to put the UHR back to work…

Can't go wrong with UHR

I'm looking forward to the day when my UHR become work jeans. That denim drops indigo if you show it a picture of an abrasive surface.

Dunno if you can call this hard labor, but continuing the stripping process of shellac from the stairs. Almost 1/2 way done….can see untouched on he left and stripped to the right. Thank God for acetone and MEK

[Jordonf9]

Here you can see the vast difference once stripped. Some spots are easy, some are caked on and cracked badly. This hoise was never kept up with much, if at all. That includes about 4 generations I believe…..

[neph93]

That's a tough job, without a doubt. Satisfying results though.

[Jordonf9]

Besides tons of sweating, the only time I'd say tough was last night. Hunched over the rail cleaning that area for about an hour to hour and half with my back screaming in pain. Going back at it later after installing a new window upstairs.

Thank you!

This denim has aged marvelously for only ten months. They get better everyday…

Mine became workwear sooner than I had planned. After the initial soak, I followed instruction, and gave them a machine wash. Unfortunately, I neglected to change the water level setting on my top loader. The agitator had its way with them. They were covered in slashes of missing indigo. I figured some time at work would help. It did. The marks are far less noticeable, now.

As promised here are some photos of what I do. Unfortunately it was 90+ degrees, I wore Wranglers. I'll grab a selfie in one of the pairs I wore later and post it here.

Seven days later

What all this is, in the first photos are a boost pump, large filter, water softener, carbon tanks, which remove chlorine that the city puts in. Then the RO which removes 99.9% of everything else from water. From the RO, the water goes through a UV light into a storage tank, pumped through filters to remove dead bacteria, out to a loop that will feed Dialysis machines, then return and merge with the water that goes to the UV light. The process is a bit more complicated, this is the 99 cent version.

[Black Orchid]

Wow.. complicated stuff [emoji848]

[neph93]

Sheeeeit, @ROman that's quite a gig. Pipes scare me tbh. I've installed some small scale ventilation before, and made a hash of some water bearing pipes when we remodelled the bathroom but that there is another planet. Thanks for sharing.
