What home improvement work did you do today?

Sounds like you may need to slow your feed rate a bit - that blade is THICK

 

Noticed. If the next photo I post is it sticking out of my skull, you need to explain it to Mrs Bandito.

 

I got your back

 

Don't come around my place uninvited if you don't want your ankles molested.



Seriously tho, he'll let you know if someone shows up in plenty of time for me to retrieve something to greet them with.

 

Every dog has a purpose, and that dog seems serious about his business; nice looking pup!!!!

 

Installed a "free" hot tub in the yard. Dry weight is 900lbs moved it with ropes, pulleys and pvc pipes alone. It was a 12 pack kinda job.

 

I swear I thought it was a lunch box lol. I scrolled on the phone all the way down before page all loaded and those last 2 pix is what I saw.

Anyways, buying and assembling a grill, does that count as home improvement?

 

i did the same with a new patio table/chair set. hoping that counts. i used a drill and sweat outside while drinking beer if that helps too. i even put some old spray wax on it after a rain and before another rain ha

 

Rain...nice!
Over the weekend...spread more mulch, started modifying my old Delta table saw for a new accurate fence...got a project coming up!

 

"Acquired" like with some bolt cutters after hours at Home Depot?

 

It was lowe's

 

I approve

 

Threw up some drywall in the bathroom. I’m about a sheet short so I’ll finish it later I guess….but my back hurts

 

Looks good
My only suggestion - check your screw spacing. Should be maximum of 16” the “field” on the walls and 12” on the ceiling. Edges should be 8” on both. That’s to ensure proper support of the panels over time.

And before you button everything up, think about putting wood blocking anywhere you might want a towel holder or toilet paper holder. Way better than crappy drywall anchors later. I also put blocking behind where the door knob would hit the wall - even with door stops, it’s sometimes possible for a door to flex enough to bump the knob. Solid blocking makes that knob just slightly dent the texture instead of punching a hole in the wall.

 

good to know. Thanks. Thought the screws were close enough but I’ll double check my measurements. I did have the forethought and put blocking for the TP holder and towel hooks though.

 

Marginally better.I never had my anchor go loose. Solid as a bull.

 

Looks great, when you mix up the different batches together, you won't even notice.

 

After a few beers

 

Put some holes in the garage ceiling to hang the hardtop. Simple. Cheap. Single man ability removal.

 

How does rubber hold moisture?

 

not worth a shit. it does somewhat block evaporation, but doesn't work the same way traditional mulch does - it's more for the visual and coverage of bare dirt. And it'll never break down or turn into anything organic or useful.

 

For mulch, western hemlock is my favorite. It's soft and doesn't have splinters. For wood CHIPS, we use cedar. It lasts forever out here.
