What home improvement work did you do today?

like that safety footware!!

How big can your piles be?

 

I laughed at your photos earlier when you posted your safety footware as well.


piles can be feet wide by five feet tall.

 

Nothing to crazy here today,took advantage of the nice weather and spread some love to the breezeway furniture.

 

very nice, you won't regret that!

 

Gentlemen, your footwear is approved

2023 tornado cleanup

 

Lol, I had noticed too,cutting down limbs while wearing Air Gandi's

Then I noticed I'm wearing them to,just as guilty

 

OSHA will never need to stop by that site...Like Eveah

 

just wrapped up everything I wanted to get done before putting the tent up. Will add railings along the side and front after, but it might be a few weeks with commitments/weather issues. Canada needs to take their smoke back!

I had help with making sure the base was square, and then decked it.

 

I see we also have the same taste in cutting tools...




After my chipping maintenance was complete, I got zealous and started mowing my property for the first time this year as well. 2 batteries down and I'm done. What I mow is about a 1/2 acre. I did wear shoes for this portion of the day. I'll finish the with the trimmer tomorrow.

 

Yeah, I love my husky. It's just a little 240 with a 14" bar, about 15 years old I think? I've done the Carb/Coil/brake/fuel lines... maybe few other things but still a strong runner, I work it pretty hard.
Your view level 10 awesome! Very nice man

Same with you @woods, Nice view and good looking build too, nice and stout

 

Slut.

 

Temps in the 80’s/low 90’s, so we decided to pull off the front door and outside man door into the garage and finally paint them. We’ve lived here almost 20 years (built in 2005). About 10 years ago we finally painted the outside of those two doors but never the inside. So that went down this weekend, along with finally painting the man door from the house to the garage for the first time.
There’s one more door in the house that’s never been finished (into the basement) - think it’s gonna happen before the end of the week.

 

completing my hvac upgrade before it gets super hot. last yr did the upstairs going to a trane optimum 4 ton heat pump, condenser xv17. today we started the downstairs with the new xv18, replacing the unit in the garage and the backyard. we'll wrap it up tomorrow with the electrical but im all set now. got a significant solar panel installation, 2x full home battery backup and now with these units, im no longer dependent on gas for heat. solar and battery will be covering most of the power to cool and heat the home (3,600 sq ft) w/ pool. im in northern california and it's been in the upper 80's to 90's. my last energy bill was $22 for the month. that feels great. haha.

and since i had cleared the garage for the hvac work, i finally bought a mop and cleaned the floor.

 

Man I'm jelly over that garage, and the rack system is freaking cool,looks like a department store.
Who ever did your H2O tank was a good man, hooking up a re circ pump is a great thing!

 

Next time I rent the skid steer and dumo trailer.

 

" uggggh". That's what I think when I look at that. Good for you, I can do a lot of dumb physical labor, but those photos just hurt to look at. I am sure it will be worth it once you get it all done tho.

Where did you bring the sod?

 

I'll be feeling it tomorrow most likely. I did rent a sod cutter which helped, but a skid steer would have been better.

We took the sod to the local dump, they take yard waste for free. The load in the picture was a hair under 1500lbs. Second load was about half that.

 

thanks man. its a blessing for sure. if anyone is in the south sf bay area look up ribbs plumbing as needed. absolute solid guys.

i've always had a vision for this setup. my last place was a three car garage too but i cld barely get one car in there. too much stuff and not organized. when i moved in here 2yrs ago, told myself never again. i learned they are called slatwalls and i had to buy a ish ton of adapters but Amazon came through. the workshop is a single spot. i do mostly bolt on mods and light maintenance so i didn't need a ton of shop space but i do want to store my rides and motos in there, and still have room to navigate.

 

Yeah that looks like it was brutal, you'll be sleeping well tonight. Do you have any indentured servants, errr I mean children to help?

 

My servant has not yet grown large enough for strenuous physical labor. She's only 3.

The Wife on the other hand, did excellent.
