What home improvement work did you do today?

Also take a look at Paslode. I have had one for probably 15 years now and love it

 

Removing this ugly paneling that is wrapped around an I beam. Hopefully going to do some reclaimed barn wood to look like a beam. Have most of the dry walling done to cover the same paneling on the walls. Just need to move some hot water base board to finish the drywall. Been wanting to do this for years but kept putting it off because of the baseboard heat.

 

Looks great Cody! Nice work (not fun LOL).

Also, before you go pressure washing your roof for hours on end (like many people do - which is bad for the roof), sprinkle a few cans of MossBWare along the ridge lines and it will eventually get rid of all your moss. No need to pressure wash.
Then hit the roof with it once a year, and you’ll never have a moss problem again.
Hard to tell from the pics, but looks like moss on the roof.
Us folks with big ass trees surrounding our houses in the PNW have to deal with this more than others. Our first house when I was younger - I didn’t know and spent countless hours with a pressure washer on the roof.

 

I did too about two years ago and it's one of my favorite tools.

 

Hey thanks man! Appreciate the heads up and keen eye. Pine trees suck! Yeah my ins company told me I had to rid the roof of the moss before November to keep my policy. I’ll give that stuff a shot Sunday when I’m off work. Thanks. And I know not to use a pressure washer up there. That’s a big no no.

 

you can also try a product called wet ‘n forget.....I have had great results. It WILL kill vegetation below so be mindful of the downspouts and where they drain. I tend to dilute it less when taking care of Moss clumps

 

Getting ready to pour cement

 

I tried that stuff two years ago and it did so so. But I do now have new shrubs and plants below so I’d rather do the granular stuff and let it run into the gutters

 

Best of luck to to your pour Tim!

I’d offer a hand if you were closer.

 

Yeah, dump MossBWare in a decent amount throughout the year, you won’t have an issue. I always “double” the recommended amount just to be safe. It’s cheap, so using $120.00 of the stuff vs $90.00 isn’t an issue.

 

Thanks! Can't wait til it's done. Going to put a new grill out there for my dad for father's day. This is his first house project since building his a garage in the 90s. He's pretty excited.

 

I'm guessing early spring, mid summer, and late fall should do me good.

it's on my list of things to do tomorrow:
clean gutters
demoss roof
clean and lay fabric in backyard landscape beds
truck fluid change front diff

take the kayak out....

 

Yeah, once all the moss is gone then you only need to do preventative once a year.
I always do it when I take down my Christmas lights.

 

I already had fluorescents (1 single 8' and 2 double 4') I put in when we bought the house 13 years ago.
I swapped the glass bulbs to LED tubes a couple years ago.
Just had to bypass and remove the ballast.
Posting in case someone else already has fluorescent tube fixtures..

Hyperikon brand found on Amazon, seems to be several more brands now.
One good thing is they don't peter out in cold weather like the fluorescents did.
They never flicker, and will probably outlast me as far as needing replacement.

Sorry about the messy work bench..





As to home improvement today, I just signed a contract for a new roof this morning.

 

except I don't think the powder would penetrate the snow if I did it when I took down my christmas lights lol.

 

It was concrete day for the new RV parking area

 

Some dumdum put hand prints in your concrete. Might wanna trowel those out.

 

Lol.... Damn kids

 

Got more than half the office floored before the rain started coming down so hard I couldn't breathe when going out to cut boards.

 

Installed new touchless kitchen faucet

 

New bathroom faucet and pop up drain. No four letter words, no leaks and no tool throwing! Win- three for three!

 

That's a pretty good deal. Probably saved you many hours of work.

 

Helped my parents build this monster. Took me and my dad about 7 hours to put this bad boy together.

 

That's epic! What does the inside of this badass vessel look like?

 

I don't have any pics of the inside, its got nice benches with back rests. It's tall enough that I can stand up easily (I'm 6-2)

 

Made some progress on my dry creek bed. Got the rock in place, planting some plants alongside, and laid pine straw.
Only used about .5CY of rock probably need at least that much more to finish up with some decorative rock. I really like the Mexican River Rock so I will probably mix some of that throughout.

Oh... can't forget putting up my bird feeder. My wife has her bird feeder up front so I told her we need a his & her feeder.
