What home improvement work did you do today?

Oof. That's a big hole for a, "dammit, nevermind!"

 

Yeah. I can expand the hole down the house away from the meter but I don’t think it matters cause I doubt I can have a window well basically up against a gas line

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like this.

 

I can’t find anything about buried gas lines proximity guidelines or anything. Only gas meters. MAYBE this will still work. Gotta dig up some more info.

 

More digging.

 

I worked on my make shift exercise room in our screened in porch. I hung up a bunch of Coolaroo shades to try to protect my equipment a little bit and put some shade in there in the morning. The screened window sizes were kinda all over the place so I used some decking to frame them in a little. I'll get around to caulking and painting them one of these days.

Since Mrs. Bandito let me get rid of her clothes hanger/dust collector - I mean, Treadmill, I have a little more room in there for shit I can use. I have a new piece of equipment I'll be putting together tomorrow and I have some steel shims coming in for my rack so I can straighten it.

 

Guilty. Both as the watcher and one being watched.

 

That house across the street, does the Easter bunny live there? Nice workout setup though, that rack looks beefy!

 

Yes. And he's kind of an asshole.

Thanks. It's a little skinnier than my old, big box store rack but that means I can bench press and squat without bouncing the weights off of the uprights. I also ordered it extra tall so I can do military presses inside of it instead of on the outside. I was pressing once with my old set up, lost my balance and almost ended up on my outdoor deck.

 

I put together my Leg Curl and Extension machine from Titan today. Their quality is getting better but there was a little bit of damage caused in shipping. At least they'll take care of it and the price is great for what you get.

Next up is shimming and bolting down the rack, bolting down the leg curl machine, and adding some lights to the room. I hope to have that done in the next few days. Mrs. Bandito has Good Friday off so that probably means having to go into Austin which will severely dampen my progress.

 

We’re going to have the propane tank buried per wife request. We moved the bushes hiding the tank to a location at the edge of the property, blocking the view of the neighbors driveway, that seems to have their commercial vehicles parked. It will provide a cleaner look to our landscaping also.

 

This is a great thread.

I wanted more privacy on our back porch so I built a privacy fence. I feel for anyone building right now since lumber is so outrageous.

After building the fence we gave it some pizzazz.

 

Its time for chemical warfare...



Your days are numbered you piece of shit!!

 

So my process is as follows, and if anyone can tell me wrong and correct me thatd be cool.
1. I emptied the tankof everything that would drain
(I believe I am holding solids)
2. I dumped about 20 gals of warm water into the tank thru the shitter
3. Drained again
4. Repeated 2 & 3 three more times in hopes of "flushing" solids
5. I added 10 gals of warm water & the enzyme.
Please steer me in the right direction if that is wrong and Im also looking for advice on sensor cleaning techniques and products

 

Seeing this post scares me off from having a full time toilet in a RV. With my wife we camp at sites with nice outdoor plumbed rooms. By myself it’s the woods and a pit toilet normally. I do have a Thetford cassette toilet I take sometimes..

 

Im not sure that I am holding solids or if I am just getting misreadings from the useless sensors. Its not so bad, Im just a newb

 

I need to do that with ours.

 

Gave my wife a quick lesson on the chain saw and got her a set of chaps. I’ve got a fuct day at work tomorrow and it’s the only day in the next week where some of the mess from this storm can get cleaned up, so she’s gonna give it a run.

 

Well damn yall if I was holding solids I am not anymore. Id recommend this to everyone with an rv weather ya think ya need it or not. It says a min 12 hrs, I went about 22. What came out when I dumped was nothing short of amazingness. I for real coulda built a damn cabin.

 

Is it safe for human consumption?

 

"Safe for humans and animals"
I wouldnt wanna consume it based on the smell, but hey, whatever dont kill ya. Am I right?

 

Sometimes we all need a little extra help.

 

Update on 8053. The propane supplier came out with a coated tank and anodes for burial. These guys worked well and completed the job in 4 hours. Some photos showed the hole needed to bury a 500 gallon tank. The left over dirt was spread out on the down slope in the back of the side yard. I was pleased to see the dirt down deeper was not mud nor clay. We may get run off from our neighbors but at least it (the rainwater) keeps going downhill and not stopping…

 

My last workout room post, I think.

I spent most of yesterday leveling the power rack. I bought some Rogue shims and it turned out I didn't need them so I'll be selling them on Craigslist (I hope). I also replaced a bent piece to the lat pulldown that was damaged in shipping so it was kinda like rebuilding the whole damn thing. It's not perfectly straight but within the two center lines on my level so .

I also added a 100ft LED light strip. The area I workout in was originally a carport that was decked and screened in so the lighting has a lot to be desired. I've worked out early in the morning or on a stormy day with a flashlight in hand before. My favorite is red for combat workouts.

 

That looks awesome!!!
