What home improvement work did you do today?

So when you purchase a 2 year old home you think man-tenance is going to be pretty low. Back yard security light let the smoke out last night. Surprised as this home was only used seasonally (summer) and only for one year. It's a dusk to dawn so it does get solid use, but still. Off to HomeSleepo, going with HALO brand this time.

No receipts, so I decided to do an autopsy.

 

Upgrade time!!

 

If there are more, I'd just swap them all out. Random fire around my house isn't helpful to my sleep patterns! I know its small and probably would never spread. But I don't trust anything

Good catch!

 

That's a quality product you have there, looks like it was made with pride and Grade A Chineseium.

 

Right right, I know. I actually bought 2 today. If my house was wood siding ide be more worried, but it's steel pole barn siding. Think I'm going to wait the next one out... If that doesn't pan out I'll post pictures of the aftermath

I ceramic coated the lens on it before install. It's like an insect rave around that light every night . A little different mounting pattern. Some dielectric grease in those holes and plugged them up.



A little side bar maintenance on the Husqvarna 240. Been a damn good little saw for at least 14 years. Just the right size for me. She's gotten some hard miles since we moved rural.

 

Ceramic coating the barn lights. That's a new level, and I'm here for it

 

Hahahaha!
Great fucking movie!
Shitters full!

 

Damn that blade is worn down more than Rosie O'Donnells fork!!!

 

It's a test LOL, my theory is when it gets dirty from bugs I can just take a hose to it and it will blast right off?
But once I discovered the wonders of ceramic... It's kinda been like Frank's, I put that shit on everything.

 

Ready to rock the tent tonight! Need to take the plastic off the door windows and keep bringing things up for this afternoons cookout/fireworks. Being bougie as shit and got a power bank and plug in cooler this week too last minute, hell even my pedestal fan apparently plugs into the DC outlets on it! Didn't order enough floor covering so waiting on some more of that to finish covering the back section inside so we aren't directly on the PT all the time. Girls are all excited and so are mom and dad! Sorry for keeping on posting this! But its done now and it will be the last time


HAPPY 4th OF JULY GANG

p.s. the berry bush set up past the fire pit needs to come down and be re-done, maybe just wrap the individual bushes instead of a big to-do. That needs to happen soon to protect the blueberries from the birdies as they are starting to show. Rasbperries and Blackberries are about ready to pick as well.

 

Looking great enjoy and Happy 4th!

 

Lil more progress made. Should start seeing metal soon
