    Progress on the camper remodel! A good bit of flooring in and mostly painted. Re-wired the tongue, new breakaway switch, battery boxs. Still have to finish that up, trim out all the windows, finish the backsplash, build the new front couch/bed frame, and the recover dinette cushions and do curtains. So close yet so far!

    When we built the house the gutter installers recommend them. So they provided/installed.
    I used a different gutter company to do our shop this year, and they did the same thing. Guessing they’re pretty common and a gutter supply company would carry them.
    I can’t find them anywhere online! Home Depot has some plastic ones, but those don’t look good. There’s a few other styles (some fold into the gutter) and I don’t think they’d work as well.
    I’d highly recommend using exactly what I have.

    Not really home improvement, I take of my in laws evaporative cooler every spring/fall. Got new pads on and crank it up only to find the copper line going to the cooler was cracked leaking into the master bedroom. Called my plumber and he will fix it on Wednesday. Way over my pay grade.

    The Dirty T

    Easy fix, just go to Ace Hardware and they will hook you up with everything you need. It's a good idea to change the water line every year anyways, I usually go with plastic line nowadays and change it every year, It's cheap.

    Also, I'm sick of swamp coolers, I yanked mine off the roof last year and just use the AC now. I did keep the swamp on the garage though, in that situation it does what I need without the extra cost of AC, plus I usually have the door open when working in the garage which doesn't work so well with AC.

    Are those metal or wood?
    Wife wants to replace our garage door with something similar..

    We had our indoor and outdoor A/C HEAT units replaced back in July..
    $8K but it is worth the piece of mind wondering how long the original builder grade units where going to last..

    We play a lot at the in-laws and I’ve always wanted to make one. Well after this one I’d rather spend money on a nice one. Drilling all those holes sucked. Tried my darndest to line then all up but didn’t work

    Thanks. Got sick of losing beers to wild shoes and having to walk to the side and set them down, only to have someone or a dog kick it over. Had to get crafty.

    Bought a new mower.

    my previous cub of 10 years was starting to raid my checking account weekly so we parted ways.

    new cub zero torn. Only a 42 inch deck but for the acre I mow it will be fine.

    Super minor and cheap security upgrade today. I replaced the 3/8" long screws in my exterior door dead bolt plates and strike plates. I now have 3" long screws that go right into the main door frame and not just the jamb.
