Had a front leaf spring hanger, cast iron, on a international semi tractor, cracked in a major crash. I welded it back together with that rod, never had a issue with it.

I know, it is kind of sad, because when you tell about it people will not believe it. I worked with the boats in the 1980ties, so it was already around then. And people are like, it can not be this good, it must be a catch, we better do it the old way, and ended up with a far more expensive repair because of disassembling, machining and all kind of things they had to do. The repairs were high quality, with all that job done, no doubt about that, so it was like, doing it this simple, it can't be a good job.

I believe that is correct. Have cut up more than a few of them and that's what it looks like.

@krazykuda should split that up and save it for the BBQ pit. Save the bark, that's the crucial ingredient.

He'll be right in the hunt for the Santa Maria Style BBQ experience. My friend Joe at the grill there manufactures those grills. Some Monkey Spit rubs for the meat and Game On! Crucial element not shown, large cooler of adult beverages. :rolleyes: It's part of the experience :lol:

I did not understand why the ceiling over the coal bin needed to be insulated, is it because it is cold there ?

Not insulated, just sometimes covered. I assume because of the coal dust.

Yes houses with bigger basements would have several rooms. Finishing a basement room is mostly modern thing. Being who I am - doesn't make any sense to me. Basements are not for fine living or fancy finishes. ;)
Yes. In many places much of the food storage would be in the cellar. If you see (or hear) cellar instead of basement - that's the term people used to use for the partially underground storage of 'roots' and fruit, cyder and beer and so forth. In some parts of the early US, it would be seperate from the house. But in the mid-adlantic and north, usually under the house or part of the house. People who lived in apartments and smaller houses in urban areas bought much of the food to cook each day until electric refrigeration became common. It was interesting whenI moved here - some of the older neighbors would talk about the corner grocers as a place their kids would work after school - delivering!

In my old house in Norway there is an oven in the basement. Or "kjeller" as it is called in Norwegian, similar to your old "cellar". We almost never used the heating in the cellar, so it was important to have the floor insulated. Heating was firewood and electricity in the rooms we wanted warm. And the basement was not one of.them.

Winter storm warning here until supper tomorrow. Sleeting now and windy. Yuck. Made the trek this AM for fresh cheese curds. Still warm and squeak when eating them. Nothing quite like it. Hope all is well out there....

Do you like the warm cinnamon taste sort of donut holes that Taco Bell has ?

Bill
 
Yes, typically like warm cinnamon donuts, not sure I tried the Taco Bell ones
 


About 5 minutes out in the video the fellow has a blue grease on the bolt for the battery cables. I have never seen that before, are you guys familiar with it ?
