Home Improvement Today?

Most dust I get is from my orbital sander, and it's even got a dust bag on it. Guess I'll just have to chase it with the shop vac.

 

I put together a homemade dust cyclone type thing. Used a 5 gallon bucket and some old shop vac tubes. It works really well to collect fine dust.

 

I think I found Sasquatch

 

When I do this, I wonder how my wife can be so beautiful, and so vile at the same time.....

 

Same with my wife...and our place..any time the shower or sink starts to drain slow thats what I pull out of the drain...

 

Yep

I'm pretty much bald too and everytime I'm like "why the fuck is this my job when none of this is my hair" lol

 

New roof installed today, not by me though.

 

Hahaha. Me too. And she’s always like “it’s not just me that lives in this house you know!” Well, what I do know is the difference between a 6” beard hair and your 18” head hair......I mean, Yes dear.

 

I can't take credit for any of the work, but the new camp is coming along nicely!!

 

Do any of you guys have experience with having cabinets refaced?

I’m wanting to upgrade my kitchen but new cabinets are really above and beyond what I want to spend on a home I’m not living in long term.

 

getting close to being done...up to at least 25 loads now

 

Hope they're keying that slope in good for you so you don't have any slip issues.

 

yeah the pic looks like its sloping more than it is...I just have to be patient and let it settle a bit. We are supposed to get a lot of rain next few days so hope that doesnt mess it up!

 

Did they do something similar to this or did they basically just start dumping dirt in the hole to fill it up? Not trying to be critical or assume they don't know what they're doing. But I move dirt for a living and would hate to see all that material you paid for slip, and wash down into what looks like some pretty deep holler's around your building.

 

well I know he didnt do that BUT it wasnt a gradual slope, had a big root wad pulled out and it was shale in there and it was filled pretty much with large shale. If it was a gradual slope I'd be concerned but with the rock and other filler I had in there its not going anywhere.

 

That is the only way to install roofing; it is a young man's job. I've installed more than my fair share of roofing in my days.

Took up some type of monkey grass and planted some shrubs and a Japanese maple then added mulch.

Later on will add some pine needles.

I hate monkey grass.


Next up is pulling up some bushes in the back and replacing them with more Japanese maples.

 

I’ve done some as well in the past working for my dad. A friend of mine offered to help me if i wanted to do it. I kindly refused. I hate roofing. My knees and back wouldn’t be able to handle it. The company that did it had it ripped off, installed, and cleaned up in 7 hours.

 

Have a screen porch on the back of the house. Bottom of the casings that holds the screen in is rotted so I’m pulling them off to replace. First picture is of the header above all the openings. Second is looking up at the header. Shouldn’t there be a peace of plywood between the two? Is this ok to leave like this?

 

Don’t mind the scrap peace’s of wood he put in there because he measured wrong. They are screen panels and it looks like he made the opening to big.
