What home improvement work did you do today?

Damn straight!

 

What
Was just thinking - doesn’t Joel live near Austin?

 

Yes. Don’t tell the townees about my fence. They’ll accuse me of being an “Austin Sympathizer”, burn it down, and run me out of town. In that order.

 

Oh crap... Sorry, but I already submitted an entry on your behalf:

 

That's okay. If they drive a vehicle with their logo on it, they won't pass the roadblocks the locals have set up.

 

Found a large stash of these in a forgotten storage closet when the school public safety went to newer emergency call buttons years ago. I had a crazy idea for the garage. Will get some kind of model paint for the letters.

 

I like those

 

Took me three months to go from the bottom image to the top ones. Just got the shower enclosure installed this afternoon.

 

That sink is sweet!

 

Looks awesome!

 

Weekends are for rest, correct

Tell that to the kids and better half.

Two of the old AC's are gone , son grabbed them for their "Fix-a Upper" and we removed the smaller window box and window ; boxed it in for now ,search is on for a complete window

But today the bigger box decided to be a bit@h ; NOT ; I have tools Sawzall, jig saw with metal blade and of course the Tin Snips came into play and Momma was very Smart and stayed away

Removal jobs completed BUT now we have to decide on "finishing touches"..

 

Oldest granddaughter said emoji's are the "New Cuss" words.... My girls don't drop F-bombs in front of me and they teach me "New things" everyday

 

I put some trim around the shed door and added moulding... yesterday. I realized I put it on upside down and it was driving me nuts. I picked up some more moulding today and redid it. I caulked everything around the door too (I really hate caulking). We'll be painting the door and trim soon.

Hoping to start Operation Path and Patio tomorrow.

 

That’s your “shed?” Sweet Moses!
Our single car, car port, turned garage is the dump zone. I slightly organized it for a upcoming extravaganza. By Wednesday or Thursday I should have enough space to start tetrising gear.

 

I guess I should call it a workshop. The pic makes it look a lot bigger than it is.

 

most guys know how to get the angle to get it to look bigger in the pic

Made a little progress with the path today. It's soooooo humid.
There's an old sidewalk on top of another old sidewalk so I'm having to base the height of the path off of it.

 

Hunting down the water

 

Very nice.

 

While not exactly "home improvement" it does improve my enjoyment of my home.

Swapped my old MCS 6700 turntable back into the hifi rotation. Paired it with a little used, vintage, Pickering V-15 cartridge. It nice to change these things up one in awhile.

Sonic Bliss!

 

Thatttt, is bad a$$!!!!!

 

Monthly summary of the new solar system. This is when SoCal was melting from the heatwave. We had all the ceiling fans on and the portal AC cranked pretty much 24/7.

 

Made some progress over the last couple of days with Operation Path & Patio (OPP - you know me).

It's been a booger. I knew I'd have to build over the top of an old wavy sidewalk but the sidewalk was built over another older sidewalk and they don't completely line up. So it's slow going but it's going.

It's kind of a lightning bolt shape, an homage to 80's hair rock and my tramp stamp.



This guy was circling me and then landed on the roof to watch me. So I took it as a sign and called it a day.

 

Put up this 4'x8' wall unit to better organize my garage to MAKE ROOM FOR MY NEW TUNDRA!!! Still work to do but made progress. P.S. The unit is level, the picture is not
