    Our friend bought one off Greggslist, and had it disassembled and moved to her house and put back together for about 150, im guessing that’s the going rate for someone who knows what they’re doing

    Awesome! They're holding up alright then I'm assuming? Do you have any on your house? Don't mind drilling holes in the garage, but house is a little different.

    Actually going through a reno. So pulled data lines to each corner of the house. Using POE injectors. Out of the weather, I think they will hold up for quite a long time. Even the ones that have been exposed, are holding their own. Right now screwed to the old wooden siding, but most likely will be installed to the soffit for the permanent install. Had an AHA moment. I'll probably install low voltage mounting brackets, like these

    https://www.lowes.com/pd/CANTEX-1-G...ZWZ8rXDqZ7c22S9n9uRoCvT8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    And then a blank and put the wires through that. Should be a clean install and allow me to work on it in the future if needed.

    i really don’t have the room right now to move everything out so it’s been a bit of a pain working around things.

    Finishing up some odds and ends on my kitchen remodel, tonight's task was under-cabinet LED's. Found this kit at Lowe's and was a little hesitant because of it being Black&Decker, but it turns out to be a really nice kit. 10 different warm light settings, hand motion on/off, and a really easy install. Highly recommend if you're in the market for some lighting.

    Went to HD and picked a bunch of concrete and lumber...
    Carried said concrete from the trailer down the side of the house, around the back of the house, down a flight of stairs to the basement and into an adjacent room to the bathroom where it's gonna be poured. Man that sucked. 22 80lb bags...I'm sore. The picture was on my 'break' halfway through lol
    IMG_2447.jpg
    Then I put up one of the small walls...
    And who said shooting a .22 cal indoors isn't fun haha!

    Those nail guns are fun. I have the kind you have to hit with a hammer to get the .22 shell to go off. Always terrifyingly enjoyable :rofl:

    I always try and crack the oxygen so I don’t end up with black floaties all in the air which then usually land on my face. The smell of acid burnouts usually gets some strange faces too

    Progress on the shed - 1/2 CY of gravel wheelbarrowed up the hill and spread for the floor with hardware cloth under it. Moved in the gardening stuff.

    Then discovered critters had undermined two of the support blocks under the coop, so had to form and back-pour 400# off concrete

    Then drop a tree that had leaned over in the recent snowstorm and was almost hitting the house

    I've been replacing our self-monitored Nest security system with Ring because of some asswipe from Corpus doing address fraud and getting a drivers license at our home address. So, since I bet on Google, much like in the 80's when I leaned toward Betamax, if I want a monitored security system, I needed to upgrade.:annoyed:

    Did almost everything yesterday and switched out the smart lock today to work with my new system. Of course the new lock is smaller than the old one even though it's the same brand. I guess I'll be breaking out the paint. :mad:

    I was tempted to leave the lock off and just make it a gun port. :infantry:

    Threw up some solar powered led lights around the pool on the fence. Just wanted to add a slight ambiance lighting and slightly light up the bottom without having it be a bright light like from the flood lights. It was about 80' of lighting with the lights 2' apart. Has a nice reflection off the pool too.

    I read Angelsoft toilet paper is the best at breaking down, be interested to hear your results with the enzymes.

    The kirkland or great value is good for rv septics as well, and much cheaper than anything "rv or marine"

    The plan is to leave it for 3 days (time it takes my savage fam to fill a tank lol)
    Ill give a small shake every morning to simulate flushing or travel. I am expecting the "rv digest it" to be the best, but tst max and Happy Campers have a decent rep also.

    Can I run something by you guys? Too bad cause I'm gonna anyways. I'm pulling up my 3/4" hardwood cause it's beat up and I want the same continuous flooring on the main level anyways. I'm replacing with 12mm (.47 inch) LVP and thinking of just throwing down 3/8 (.375) OSB on top of my subfloor (plus I can fix a few squeaks this way) so that all said and done I'm just a pinch (.847 inch) over the original .75 inch flooring. This way I don't have to pull all the door jambs and such.
    Makes sense?
    the OSB will cost me some time and about $1000 but that's cheaper and easier than pulling and plugging 8 doors and 2 closets right?
