\"Stake

Stake pocket<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

After my incident with sparks and nearly burning down my house, I spent the morning cleaning up an area filled with dry leaves bits of lumber and debris. Under the debris gravel. I raked it smooth then backed the frame for my tiny house into location.<\/p>\n

The time had come. Time to grind away the rust and get rid of some stake pockets. It means cutting through old welds on three sides on each pocket.<\/p>\n

Over the last week I had bought three different kinds of thin metal cutting wheels. I bought a few at Home hardware, a few more at my local car part supplier. At the advice from a welder friend I also bought some at another parts store.<\/p>\n

I am going to rate these disks as how many disk it took to remove a stake pocket. I mean a cutting disk is a cutting disk right. I mean they were all roughly \u00a0in the 4 to 5 dollar range per disk for a 4.5 inch grinder.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>

I choose the one on the left<\/p><\/div>\n

First \u00a0the Home Hardware disk it took three disks to cut one stake pocket. The disk rapidly wore out and actually threw chunks. No matter how hard I tried to cut smooth they would not.<\/p>\n

Then \u00a0I tried out one of the other brands. \u00a0Made by Jet the power plus three.<\/p>\n

Two disks one stake pocket cut and not completely. I had to use one of the Walter Zip cut disks to finish the job.<\/p>\n

The Walter zip + disk recommended to me by a welding professional. Thanks to Terry At Swartzy Welding in Fairview. (I know a shameless plug) I was amazed at how the disk performed. I finished the second incomplete stake pocket and then proceeded to cut two more. I still had meat left on the cutting wheel. Enough to cut the top weld on one more. Clearly they are not created equal.<\/p>\n

Summary : 12 stake pockets to cut.<\/p>\n

Walter 2.5 stake pockets one disk = $1.60 per stake pocket. Total $ 19.20<\/p>\n

Jet \u00a02.5 disks per one stake pocket= $ 10 per stake pocket\u00a0Total $ 120<\/p>\n

Home Hardware 3 disks per stake pocket= $12 per stake \u00a0pocket\u00a0Total $ 144.00<\/p>\n

This is not rocket science for me. This is a low buck project.<\/p>\n

I am off to buy more Walter disks. A huge electrical storm is brewing, anyways and standing next to an all metal frame just doesn’t sound smart right now.<\/p>\n

There were other versions of this song available on you tube. But lets face it Sheryl is Hot.
\nI like to think that in a parallel universe somewhere Sheryl and I are dating. That second horse is the one I am riding.\u00a0 Damn<\/p>\n
