What home improvement work did you do today?

That's actually what I was dealing with a couple of weeks ago. System shut off and I had to do a hard reset it came back up. Got the hose pipe out and cleaned out the coils and all that nasty dog hair from my girls gotten sucked up in there. All good now.

 

This is great stuff for your condenser, 5/1 ratio one gallon will get you two seasons.
Like mentioned earlier turn the unit off and pull the 5~ 3/8" screws out,this will allow you to pull and tilt then lay the fan shroud with fan motor on top of the unit. Cool the condenser coil down with just water and make sure you adjust the flow to a semi cone spray with the water because with to much force you can bend the fins and you don't want that.
After that spay the coil down with the mixture, the outside of the coil with a 2.5 gallon spray bottle.
Let it sit for a minute or two and it should foam up and pulling all of the dirt,debris and pollen or what ever you have in your region out,then use your garden hose and spray the coil, start at the top and work your way down keep in mind from the inside,this is why you removed the fan.
Here in the NE. this is done mid June after most of the pollen has subsided.

 

42 wheel barrow's later.....




Better late than never. Muh elbows....

 

Finally had time to paint this “library” room (did all the built ins/molding in June). Moving on to resurfacing the fireplace and then floors.

 

Organized and purged the pantry this weekend. The shelves were overflowing and stacked to the ceiling. Added a lot of bins and things to help keep us stay organized. We are going to replace the chest freezer with an upright unit from Costco with drawers in a few weeks, so we will loose the 2 shelves.

 

Any of the cases pivot to a hidden room?
Nice clean work Ponderosa!

 

Did some detective work. Wife complained of poor ac output and hot air. Got to get up in the attic now

 

Rafters up and back wall started today.

 

Looks good!
Better than some other ones I've seen

 

Not bad for a welder working with dead tree carcass instead of steel.

 

If you know you know

 

Cleaning?

 

Replacing the plastic hub with a metal one so it doesn’t bang around freshly trapped squirrel

 

I've got the same style, I'll be taking lessons!

 

Hahah my guess was “kids”

 

The lesson is to get a speed queen from the start lol. We’re in a rental so no choice, but I did this once before at my parents house. It’s a mental battle with plenty of cursing

 

Mine is a Whirlpool, 8 years old with no issue. Is there just a nut under the plastic cover to pull the agitator?

 

lol Yep, just a nut and 8 years of corrosion

 

oh yay

 

These guys are genius. I had one of these bags but just had Amazon overnight 2 more. Try again tomorrow after fighting with it for an hour

Stop using it as a @Fotnot " Baby making device".....

You follow his lead and a stretched out Sequoia will be your next family Rig

Evening all.. Finished painting everything but dining room trim and of course my Bride changed her mind, AGAIN on transitions...

F@C& you Home Depot for having so many options...

 

I’ll 100% follow @Fotnot to the promised land!!

Also, saw quite the attractive lady driving a sequoia today.

I can see how he gets fired up tho.. seeing a woman pushing the skinny pedal of a 5.7 definitely gets the juices flowing

 

I was staring at my shed this evening, planning out tomorrow's work. The question then entered my mind.

Do I insulate the shed and sheet the interior walls or not?

The only thing I have temperature concerns of any kind for are jerry cans of gasoline. I'll be installing some vents in the walls, but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble and expense to full insulate the shed as well.

 

We made that investment this year, wish we had done it 30 years ago.

 

How many cuft is your existing chest freezer? Are you getting the ~$300 "11cuft" upright freezer with drawers from Costco?

We had a very small chest freezer (5cuft?) that was pretty much full to the brim. We replaced it with the popular one from Costco and I threw away a few old things from the chest freezer and everything fit barely in the upright, so that size rating is free space, not drawer space.
For the money, it's a nice freezer....but if I could do it over again, I think I would get an upright with shelves not drawers.
Just something to think about.

 

Good luck with that...

Every time I have "Leftover's " from projects designated to "Finish" the garage interior Con finds another "Honey-Doo"..

Luckily we only have 2 seasons; Hot & HOTTER.... The window shaker keeps it cool enough to create a "Hide-out" room without insulation,

when I do finish it off my computer desk and mini fridge will be installed..

 

Had some grass removed to extend the driveway to the gate and add gravel in the back after the gate.

 

90% complete . Just a few trim pieces and paint left

 

The front door is wood and takes a beating from the sun. It’s warped and cracked in some areas.

We plan to replace with a nice steel door and I think we’ll use that opportunity to change the swing so we don’t open up into the wall
