What home improvement work did you do today?

The deer crap everywhere. I get an occasional dog crap but the presence of coyotes keep the small dogs they have inside or penned up. Something else took a crap and I suspect it was a coyote.

 

Hilarious

 

There is a "always hanging around turkeys" joke in there somewhere....

 

Half bath refresh. Painted walls new color, replaced pedastool style sink, with vanity/sink/faucet, new light fixture, mirror. Not shown; new hand towel ring, T.P. holder, switch & plug plates.

Didn't really bargain for any home improvements when the wife asked me to take off with her on her Spring Break. LOL

 

Fucking pidgeons, defeated everything I tried after reseeding grass patches that last years brutal summer created. And no I'm not going to shoot them as I don't feel like disposing 20+ birds

 

tonight I finished the wiring and backfilling the trench... time to call for the inspection... fingers crossed my back country ass got this right

 

Electrical inspection?

 

yes sir... permit filed for reconnect.... so lets see how it goes...

 

Make sure your conduits are strapped within 3' of any box or panel. (Can't tell under your main panel)

Those white water fittings won't fly with the inspector. No-go there

 

well shit... I backed off the strapping because it pushed the box to tight against the wood... So I will try to solve for that before calling...

I used white because I couldnt source the grey before installing... PITA in a small town

 

Yeah.. sorry man
Hope the bad news helps you in the long run, the inspection trip fees can add up if you get correction after correction.

 

Finished up the wiring and got the unit on the wall. Grandma likes it real cold and hopefully this will save her a lil money on electricity. The A/C is 100% stand alone solar and does not tie into the house at all.

 

Hit that PVC with a heat gun (don’t go crazy) enough to soften it and shape a gradual kick into it so it doesn’t pull the box hard

 

There's no rest for the weary,yesterday after work changed out a gas valve for for a friends 34 YO boiler, yeah that old and finding a universal valve wasn't easy but got it done.
Now this morning another Buddy texted me at 0604 that his hot water heater let go at some point last night.WTF!
I'm now at Homies waiting for someone to pick this 50 gallon power vent so I can get this done,so I can go home and do stuff I need for myself

 

69 miles later finally made it,now let the games begin

 

Took all the warning stickers off the walls, stove, fridge, and heater. It's pretty obvious what you should do "if you smell gas" so ya, those had to go.
Besides, if I blow myself up or choke myself out that might just be natural selection.

 

New pool cleaner and suction side hoses.

 

Welp, google may have been cheaper... 4 yrs flawless and now working to figure out the drive failures..

 

Is that where the floats go? I had my hose apart and couldn't remember where that section went, I have them on top of the water.

 

yeah, they go on the first hose connected to the vacuum. I can grab the instructions from the shed in the morning which gave specific measurements of where to place them on the hose. Maybe I can find it online. Let me take a look.

 

Found the document online for the recommended placement of the floats on the leader hose. Hope this helps.

 

Much appreciated, probably explains why it isn't climbing like it should. It occasionally falls off the wall and lands on its side.

Edit: Thanks again, not only did I have the floats wrong but I needed to adjust the flow and had no idea how. that solved both issues

 

I made a little more progress on the massive undertaking of garage organization at the new house. I've installed several cabinets and now working on the suspended overhead storage shelf.

 

Roof replacement started this morning. They've made some incredible progress.

 

Man your home has so much character to it looks beautiful, can't wait to see it completed.

 

Thanks, it's definitely unique. We were very fortunate to get into it when we did.

 

Man I'm jelly of that garage, you could put a baseball diamond in there!
I need a shoe horn to get my truck in it

 

Late 1800's?
Victorian Era for sure!
