Lyn is absolutely killing the Roger-Out game at 2:13! That made up for the previous episode which was sorely lacking in Roger-Out inclusions. Nice job reupholstering the chairs -- that distressed leather-look material is perfect. Just goes to show how many things can be DIY without spending tons of money to replace or professionally repair. I'm glad the radio check gave you adequate distance. When splicing coax, adding adapters/connectors, etc, they ALWAYS introduce some level of loss and should be avoided whenever possible. The tigerwood flooring came out looking FANTASTIC. It's one of my favorite S. American species from an asthetic standpoint (Astronium lecointei, aka Goncalo alves, Muiracatiara). If you look at crosscut log sections you get a hint as to why the dark striping is so unique and dramatic. For years I worked for an importer of S. American hardwoods and got to handle a lot of it in flooring, decking and some lumber. I love the way it rapidly oxidizes to its deep reddish-orange color for interior applications. Outdoors, it weathers to a nice silver-grey. A tip for laying hardwood flooring for best appearance; avoid 'H' and Stair-steps where the end cuts lay near each other.... randomize as much as possible. For an H (equal end-joints near each other), you should have at least 3 courses between to soften the visual impact. Sometime this means just cutting on an inch or two from a board so they don't line up adjacent to another end joint. Roger-Out!!!!!!
@tryingnottosink9107

Thanks. We think the chairs and floor cam out great as well. I think this the 9th floor that Lyn and I have laid together. It is always exciting to see how they come out. We do try to vary the joints by at least 3, but we might have messed up once or twice on this floor. The wood definitely darkens with age. We have it in our Philly kitchen and if we move the island you can see a big difference.

We had the same issue, used interlocking wood grain gym floor mats, and covered them with throw rugs. Been in place for several years with no issues. The mats cut easily, waterproof, dampen sound and if one gets damaged throw it out and put in another, cheap too. Same can be said for the rugs.

The tiger woods is a fantastic wood for on a boat because of the density of the lumber. Tiger woods is a wood from Panama or chili can't remember been 15 years since I had installed it last. It's a wood that replaced Brazilian koa it's a little bit richer in the red tones and the blonde streak they have band harvesting koa in Panama for the trees are on the endanger list..😊

Pick up a brass bushing , you probably won’t find the right inside and outside diameters, but you can drill out the inside one with a regular drill bit and then you can put the brass bushing in a drill, chuck it down, take a file and make a makeshift lathe and use the file to turn down the outside diameter

Is it a press fit? You might be able to put a thin bushing in there, but it would probably be so thin that it would distort when you install the fan. Maybe you could carefully measure the diameter of the shaft and the... fan hole? Then buy a fan that has that inside diameter.
