What home improvement work did you do today?

I know. I actually toyed with the thought of selling the truck to pay for the roof but then I wouldn't have any way to race away when the creditors come calling.

 

What exactly does this mean/do?

 

Absolutely nothing, I was attempting to be funny.

 

It means you can seek political asylum at the bandito residence.

 

I think we found my way into the US!

 

you are better off with a slab of concrete or pavers, too close to the ground for composite.

 

This is nothing major but another small win for me.
Since none of you knuckleheads would buy my tool boxes I'm making use of them. Couple of brackets from Lowes and I got the crossover box up in the air on the back side of my shed.


The below the rail chest from Zdog is going to be a bit more challenging to mount, I don't want it on the ground, may drill through the back wall into the siding (hitting studs of course). I may put more support under the crossover if I get a lot of weight in it.

 

Where were you at 3:15pm my time? I'm gonna consult you next time I can't think of witty response.

 

Thanks - I think that's the plan. I probably have enough 100 year old bricks around the house that I could replace it with but then I'd have to rebuild all of my gardens. I'll keep my eye out on Craigslist and start collecting materials. I may even do little sections like a Victorian garden, but the deck is definitely gonna go.

 

That's a pretty cool idea.

 

We planted a couple of Venus Dogwood trees and a few laurels in the back. It’s a start…

 

I'm here to assist Ambassador Bandito.

 

You shall be my First Consular Officer.

 

The primary job of the First Consular Officer is keeping the beer supply adequate. Secondary is getting asylum seekers, @Outbound, asylum. Tertiary is making sure there is enough beer for the Canucks. You are appointed assistant First Consular Officer. Molson procurement specialist, eh?

 

I was going to refer him to the First Consular Officer but I see you already have it taken care of. You are appreciated good sir and I shall nominate you for "Officer of the Quarter".

 

And candy. We needs lots and lots of candy.

 

As always, I aim to resolve my bosses' issues before he has to.

 

Beer and candy!? Sign me up.

 

Ok. Some of it isn’t pretty but I finished the framing for the basement bathroom. Now I gotta get the plumber to come back and rough everything in and hookup the sump pump. Then I’ll get electrical going. Man I’m slow at this stuff but it’ll all be covered my drywall anyways right?
Made a linen closet in the bathroom as well as a niche above the back of the toilet. I will still need to build a wall between the sink/vanity and alcove tub but I haven’t gotten there yet.
Also need to relocate the freezer lol

 

Last weekend and a couple evenings this week, got 300ft of fencing done along the north property line. Had to drop a dozen small trees (~6-8” dia) and brush hog the line, install wood posts and brace frames, roll out and stretch the fencing, and get the t-posts all in.

 

Added some seriously needed storage in my garage courtesy of a repurposed commercial counter top thrown away.

 

I never really dialed in my charge when I installed this unit a year or two ago, in high stage my subcooling was high(overcharged) I think because they paired a 4 ton outdoor(high efficiency 2stage) with a 3.5 ton indoor. Next weekend I might just drop the charge and start over and short charge by a pound or two and then work my way up to proper sun cooling. @TomC843 what say you?
Give me a ice machine anyday, fuck air conditioning!

 

Yeah I'm am old school R22 guy, screw 410. I still don't like any SEER over 12, lol. I am not gonna have to many tricks for you, so important to match equipment on super high efficiency. I'm lucky to have two package units on my house so I can always "dump and dial" the charge. PS- have you seen a Manitowoc 410 unit?

 

Wow, shitty neighbors?

 

Yeah I never did enough high temp to get really good at it, only while I was going to school.
I had seen a few self contained 410 units, basically the budget model right? Two stupid floats for the water level? But that was like 5 years ago

 

Nice property of yours up there, Casey. Where at in Clark Co? I used to live in Lewis Co.
