Vintage Chainsaw Museum

[heimannm]

The contractor had some vinyl laminate flooring left over from another project and finished off the floor in the upstairs bathroom.



I liked it so well I went out and bought enough to do the kitchen/library/office area downstairs. He says they will get it installed next week.

Good to see the museum coming along.
Interested to see how well a vinyl floor holds up on top of wood framing.
Seems ok on the slab floor here.
Elsewhere, I've got a wood frame with crawl space bathroom (bath tub etc) that needs tearing out and rebuilt. All ceramic tile floor and walls.
Thus why I'm curious about the vinyl on wood in a potential splash zone.

I would stick with ceramic tile in splash zones. I have vinyl in my kitchen now (vinyl over wood) and had a slow leak from the dishwasher, caused the wood to bubble in spots pushing up on the vinyl. It isn't noticeable to look at, but you can feel it when you walk on it.

In my old house (concrete slab foundation) I wanted to put tile in the dining room, by was vetoed and had to put vinyl in. After a couple of years you could see where the kids were scooting their chairs back and ended up scratching the crap out of the floor. Vinyl seems to work fine in the living room, hallways and bed rooms, but everywhere else there was things (furniture, boxes...etc) moving around quite a bit it seemed to wear on the vinyl.

You sell any older vintage saws

I figure the upstairs bathroom won't get a lot of traffic, floors are pretty solid. Sure looks better than the Advantech...

JT - they are all for sale, just not everyone is willing to pay what I'm asking.

That is 100% true.
It is a upstairs bathroom in a building not a the only bathroom in a home of 5 kids.
I also bet it is a toilet and hand sink.
If folks get enough "splash" on the floor then maybe they should go outside

I've heard that some Facebook dwellers think my prices are incredibly high, but when I compare with eBay I am normally more reasonable.

Museum is located in Dike, Iowa, if you can find Main Street you can find my buildings (603/609).

Either you are terrible at typing or not a native English speaker?

 

[heimannm]

I am always interested in unusual saws and attachments...





I have a few examples of the earth augers (Super 33, 250, two man) as well as a few of the cut off saws (390, 690, Cardinal 700, Target Quickie 740) and a Mini Mac hedge trimmer attachment. There are a couple of the Lear chargers, and I do have a McCulloch edger that may never have been on the market.



That's a 38cc trimmer/brush cutter engine.



You need to some see what all is here.

Railing is up for the stairs going up.










The gate swings open and the hoist will be installed soon to assist in moving larger or heavier objects up.

Like your railings
I made similar ones for my house

 

[heimannm]

Vinyl laminate flooring in the hallway and middle third of the building. I was not satisfied with the way the "grind & seal" concrete looked in that area.







Still waiting on the "kitchen" cabinets, some door hardware, and the pocket door for the bathroom off the shop. The contractor should have the Advantech floor painted in the upper lever next week, then I can start moving the part over.

Struggle (Shane) contacted me a few weeks ago about a David Bradley snow blower he saw on FBMP. Needless to say, he picked it up for me and I was planning to drive over today to collect it when he unexpectedly had to make a trip east passing right by my place.

I need to figure out how to include this in the display.







I'm pretty sure I'm the first one on my block to own one like this.
