Home Improvement Today?

valley at the 45 degree bend in the house and where the roof heads out over the carport , the rest is stepped gable ends

 

My house was built as a ranch. Then somebody added on and addition before we moved in, but it was never completed because of a lack of electricity ( the old fuse box). When we moved in my brother, a union electrician, put in a 200 amp box and we were not only able to finish the addition, but build it up - putting a bedroom and bath in - effectively making it a 1 1/2 story home. The only issue is the roof has more valley and peaks than I can just about count. The only way to avoid that would have been to rebuild the entire roof when we did the addition. Consequently, we gave had a few leaks in the valleys until we got ice guard for those valleys and even had to build up a mini roof in the very steep valley in the back - across the "V," effectively eliminating about half of the run where the water would lay and freeze in the winter, then get under the shingles.

 

we cover the entire roof deck with Titanium PSU-30 peel & stick

I recently did some landscaping so I could place my grandson's trampoline. It started with cutting down trees, then removing his old swing set/fort, followed by getting the neighbor with a skidder to level a spot and culminated with with removing the loose rocks/debris and throwing down some grass seed.

 

Part of my job is being an owner's representative on large 70,000 - 200,000 sq foot commercial buildings. I refer to those "corners" as Architect specials. Architect "This soaring spine down the center of the building will invoke joy and a feeling of oneness with the sky and nature." Me, "that's nice and all but how will you get the network into the offices on the other side of that spine?" That said, thank god for Architects, because if you let most engineers design a building it would be a concrete box.

 

Made some flowerbeds. There was nothing there before but grass right up to the house. This cedar should keep the critters away too.

 

I assume the walls are that tall to get below the frost line, correct?

Living in the South, we don't really have a "frost" line.

 

House is painted. This completes a full remodeling, both inside and out.

 

thats where we found bearing . The formwork is only 4' high and the poured wall will only be 3' , almost all of it buried

 

Cleaned out 98% of the mulch from the garden bed. Now i need to remove some dirt (sand) to clean it up, edge it, add landscape fabric and then add the shells. I also need to extend the downspout about 12 inchs

 

240V cord question.

I am searching for 14-50P Male to 6-30R Female adapter, except with two or three receptacles, a "Y" rather than just a single outlet.

Does such a thing exist?

Like this but with TWO females:

Ripping up the old floors today... just waiting for a dumpster.

 

My Back hurts just looking at that

 

Yup, and no help... it’s tough to tell in the pics but there are staples holding parts of the fiberboard that I have to pull out too

Edit- while still no help, I can/will be pulling the linoleum up with its 1/4 plywood without pulling the staples out. The subfloor looks to be in good condition.

 

Tile over vinyl.

That used to be a no-no. I get gut cramps looking at it.

 

ran new 12-2 to the garage yesterday. luckily had a empty space between the upstairs closet and laundry room underneath where vent duct ran.

You could try this with another adapter. I didn't find exactly what you needed, but it might give you a lead to go on.

 

Couldnt find exactly but something like this with two plugs?

THAT is a good idea since I already have a couple adapters. GOOD Thinkin'! Expensive though. I paid less for my huge 14-50 extension cord!

I can run both 240V heaters on the monster cord.
