@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Getting ready for the flooring to finish the kitchen remodel. It all starts with removing old and creating a new level base layer with new particle board. It is a tedious process that requires a lot of walking back and forth from cutting to laying in new wood.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Seasoned Chuck Roast with kinder seasonings. The chuck Roast was smoked over Almond and Pecan Wood for 8 hours. It was rather tasty.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 In the video the final sandpaper grits that are 400 and 800. After the sanding is finished the board is carefully blown off with compressed air. After it is covered in a mixture of beeswax and mineral oil. The process of beeswax and mineral oil is repeated 3 times. All boards use food safe glue and need to be washed in warm water and dish soap. Then they are ready to use. To make a cutting board there are many small steps that must be done to create a long-lasting board that resists rot and cracking. Oiling the board is the best part of the process. It shows the natural beauty of the wood and wakes up the colors of the epoxy.

For this game you only need cotton balls a bowl and a spoon. The blind fold increases the fun. Set a minute on a phone and enjoy the fun.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Smoked some Yukon Gold Potatoes on a whim. They turned out delicious and not to smokey. I was smoking some Chuck Roasts and had room for the potatoes. I smoked them for 4 hours at 250 then put them in foil with olive oil and some kinder seasonings. All they needed was butter.

Going to the dump, Getting Dog food, and buying fuel. I tackle the day with two kids. One grumpy and tiered kid, and the other one is chippering and singing. Watch as they help hitch and unhitch up the truck. I was surprised how much Joseph has learned about trailers. He has the best trailer back up signs. Eleanor's singing always brightens my day. Buying fuel in California is an expensive venture. Enjoy our weekend adventure.

@SurfandTurfFamilyAdventures A Fantastic smoked PORK roast over almond and pecan wood. It was cooked on an offset smoker.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 This is the process to creating a unique Cutting board. I mix mica powder and layer in the colors to create a unique effect. The process of Mixing and pouring is always an awesome experience.

@SurfandTurfFamilyAdventures Watch as we start the process of fixing water damage in a galley style kitchen. A leak from the dishwasher and faucet caused a tremendous amount of damage over time. We have to remove the flooring, appliances, and particle board. The sub floor is wet. Hopefully we can save the kitchen.

I agreed to fix a pivotal piece to a yearly drama. Well, I forgot to finish the job. Now I have an hour. I work quick fix the Nativity Manger to last for the next 20 years. This manger was built 20 plus years ago. The previous Nativity year I screwed some boards onto it so it wouldn't fall apart. It wasn't my intention to forget about it. I wasn't going to let it fall apart.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Using a weed burning torch to start a fire. What is more warming on a cold winter day than a fire?

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 We cleaned a nasty toilet using two 2 liters of Coca Cola. We waited 6 hours for the soda to work. It took a little scrubbing, but it removed the hard water stains from the toilet bowl. I am surprised that we still drink this stuff.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Spraying water on wood. What is the point. Well it is a great way to get the grain of the wood to standup. After it dries just sand it down and it is smoother that ever.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 I bought a tank and need to check it for leaks.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 We put the 50's Lionel Train together and try to get the train to work.

I recently bought a Lund Transfer Tank on an Auction Site. It is beat up, yet new. Before I stick into the bed of a truck I should test for leaks. I come up with a complicated and expensive way to check for leaks. I check to see if a purchase was worth the money.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 The Franklin Wood Stove is decorated with holiday cheer. Pumpkins are set up to bring the color in clear. The Lionel Train Set is making its rounds bringing the elves into to fun. The brick in the background just adds to the festive fun. Enjoy.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Another step to creating a smooth cutting board from scratch is the sanding process. With this cutting board in this video we started with 150 grit sandpaper, then used 180, and finished with 240 grit. Subscribe to see what we do next to smooth out this unique cutting board.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 The Lionel train transformer needs a new cord. I try Soldering in a new cord. Then I test to see that It doesn't burn up.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 Watch as we remove the epoxy from this cutting board. start with 60 grit to remove most of the epoxy. Then switch to 80 grit to smooth out the 60 grit scratches. Next is 120 grit that smoothes out the rest of the board. Subscribe to see what happens next.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 We were gifted a box that said Rodney's Train on the box. When we opened the box it is a 1950's Lionel Train. All of the parts are there and we get to put it together as a family. I never knew my son like trains this much. What an amazing gift for a kid. The smile at the end of the video is priceless and true. Look forward to more videos that show us playing and tinkering with the train and its parts.

@surfandturffamilyadventure9139 After planning cutting boards down to the right thickness. Now it is time to trim the board to size. Watch as the table and a table saw sled is used to trim down the boards to the perfect size. Stayed tuned and subscribe to see what happens next.

We break open an Antique Lionel Train Set. This is a delicate process that takes most of the afternoon to figure out how to work the train set out. Through hours of trial and error we finally put the set together. Of course, the littlest kid wrecks the train. It runs and we are elated to see an antique train come to life once again.
