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

                I'm looking forward to the day when my UHR become work jeans.

                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.

                Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                  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.

                      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.

                          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.

                            Well into stage two of this summers project. Building about 60m2 of decking over two levels. Some of it will be attached to pre-existing structures while some is "floating". One of the things you have to take into account in northern Norway is that the ground will be frozen to a depth of 100-150cm for about five months of the year. The ground therefore expands and the level rises by as much as 2cm, before falling again in May. This means any structures resting in the ground without an appropriate fundament are subject to being lifted and dumped down over the course of a year.

                            Had to change work pants as the 666XHS were dangerously close to crotch blow out. Using my 555N which are a bit looser in the waist and top block than I'd like. They only had about 40 days gentle wear on them and weren't showing much fading at all when I started using them.

                                          I wouldn't have this pair had my company not paid for them. They look solid, but this is only two months of wear. So these are likely to be trashed at a year

                                            looks great bud. so how are you going to avoid the issue of rising and falling due to the frost? here in the northeast part of the US we have the same issue in the winter.  when we are installing any type of structure we have to make sure the footing and foundation for the structure sit at a minimum of 42" below grade.  the project looks great by the way. keep up the good work and post more pics.

                                            Maybe so. Maybe not
