What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Yeah, if they get it right they will. If they get it wrong, they lose their house.

 

The trim and paint are making a big difference.

 

Ah. Big spot.

 

Thanks, once the last wall is sided and the soffit is on it'll look more or less complete even if there's a few details left. Then the skirt, that'll be the last big job

 

Keep up the good work.

 

It just did me to.. That was good.

 

This is gonna dip into the new boat fund

 

What are we looking at here? Are those exterior steps?

 

Yes, exterior steps off a front porch. Unfortunately the fact that water was going to constantly drip off the metal roof onto the steps was not accounted for during design. It was a problem I knew about when we bought the house but got real bad recently. It’s going to be a can of worms.

 

I did that once went to replace a window on back porch. Sunk a 5” screw driver right through a 4x4. That was supposed to be structural .

ended up cutting 2 feet off deck floor and rebuilding!
A lil Turned

 

That's not good....

 

Had to replace a faucet at work today. Only a handle was broke, but the mounting system for that handle seems to be obsolete so had to get a whole faucet. One of the plastic wing nuts that hold on underneath would not budge for me. I had to bend and break the whole thing apart, pry it loose enough that there was a small gap between the sink and that wing nut. Then I had to keep snapping pieces off the wing nut till it was broken enough to pull up through the mounting hole.

 

I feel like this is how 99% of my home repairs go. Fix a handle, the pipe fitting cracks and then you need a new fixture, fitting, and 15 ft. of pipe.

 

Sure seems that way at times, don't it? I find the same sometimes but more so just that if the job seems like it should take a half hour, it turns into 2 hours

 

I would go with the manual control - less to break. I would also go with one that can cool more sq/ft than you think you need. They are giving you max ability - and sometimes they round up or take a bit of liberty as well as cite for perfect conditions. If you need 500 sq/ft, raise it to 700 sq/ft (or 900). Of course, you may only need it to cool 200 sq/ft, and in that case, that one would be good.

 

Good day from Maine!

I lost 10 lbs so far. Trying to move more and do more, eat less.. Not easy.
