Helpful hints for building coops

I don't like how the dish washer doesn't always get all the residue off of the dishes,

Oh, I could go on a major rant with this....never had a dishwasher, except the two on the ends of my arms, and have seen some nasty stuff on utensils and dishes where 'dishwashers' are employed. Gaack. SMH.

X2 for sure.. I have fallen into the habit of feeling my silverware before using it.. and that applies to restaurants, too.
I have encountered something dried onto my plate under the mashed potatoes just last week..

I have a strong stomach, but I don't need to get sick from something I ate..

HAHA!! That reminds of when I did that and it dawned on me that that's why they call small diners 'greasy spoons'.

I actually use a small scrub brush to clean between fork tines, even after they are soaked.

there used to be a cafe truck stop in a town about 25 miles from us. it was the poster child for greasy spoons..
It was run by a youngish aged woman.
she was a good cook, but lousy on clean up..
I used to take friends and relatives there just to shock the hell out of them..LOL
for instance. in the men's bathroom there was one of those endless cloth towel dispensers. the kind that you pull out what you need and the used portion rolls up inside the dispenser.. well when you get to the end of the roll, the towel hangs loose for about 3 feet long. I think the guys from the garage across the street used it to wipe off greasy parts..

I need pros and cons.
at about 10AM we are going to Menards to get two 2x8x12 and a 1/2" impact wrench.
pros and cons about pneumatic vs electric ??
I do not want a battery pack one..
what say you ?

Idk about impact wrenches because i never had one. But the battery operated tools have improved a lot over the last few years. I like my battery powered Bauer impact driver. I have 2 batteries.

good morning,
up at 6:3o . let the dog out,
started a pot o' joe.
I don't like how the dish washer doesn't always get all the residue off of the dishes,
Yesterday I set up the drainer and hand washed all of the bowls from the cupboard.
this morning I did all the forks, and saucers.
and the small bowls ..
Not bad for a half hour's work.
I have the knives, spoons and salad forks soaking while I am down here drinking my coffee..
about a month ago I told Annie that I would do dishes by hand if she got me a dish pan and a drainer. well, she did.. and I am.
there are some plates with turkeys painted on them, those are going .. we have a complete set of 24 settings of plain white dishes. no need for any extra crap..
after all the white stuff is rewashed, I am going at the cups and glasses. too many mismatched items there, also..
we have enough pans and kettles to outfit three restaurants.. some sorting will go on in that dept , too..
I am thinking about clearing a spot in the sun porch for over wintering my root stock.
I don't think they will be ready for direct planting this fall.
.....jiminwisc.....

Turkey plates? Cool! I have a couple of bowls with turkeys on them.

Guess it's probably too late....but...
I would say if you've got a compressor that's easy to use where you need it, go pneumatic, likely to have much more torque.
What will you be using it for?
This is an impact wrench, for bolts/nuts, like lug nuts on vehicle wheels...correct?
....not an impact driver to mostly drive screws?

mainly I want it for taking the blades off of my CC rider . other than that I don't have much use for it.
I did take the mower deck off to get the blades off to sharpen them right after I got the CC.. I don't ever want to go through that again..
my small compressor will handle taking off just two bolts. if I need more air, I have a pancake compressor. and if I need more than that I have a big two lunger that I can drag out if I have to I guess.. (Red Green)

I figure is it went through my dishwasher on sanitize setting, anything I don't see would not have any germs on it anyway.. They claim that a newer dishwasher uses less water than hand washing, unless you are realy good.... https://www.treehugger.com/kitchen-design/built-in-dishwashers-vs-hand-washing-which-is-greener.html
The spray ports on the arms get clogged with soap scum and dog hair sometimes... then it doesn't wash well.
My sink is one basin and a dishwasher, in one metal unit. From the 1960's..
it's just me ...so after the dog scraps the plates , I put them in the dishwasher and run it when full...sometimes I use the dishwasher on rinse cycle after I hand wash the pots and bad ones.
