what did you do around the house today?

I put up the same lights from princess auto!

Looks good. Like that grey floor paint. Making me rethink my epoxy plan...

Paint is really good these days and @brucebanner is right, Epoxy gets stupid in cost. I'm lucky my brother in law is in the business, my whole shop from floor to ceiling cost me $300 to get to where it is.

Fix my rain barrel using JB Weld WaterWeld. This should guarantee that we don’t get any more rain until October.

"Fixed" my dishwasher. That is - I took apart the area likely causing the problem, cleaned it and reassembled. This introduced a new false error that was the opposite of the previous false error and then magically started working perfectly with no new intervention.
It's all about the water level sensor in a Samsung model Chunk-o-Fuck dishwasher.





Error code 0e and 9e.

Putting up a fence on my side yard, is there a minimum distance I need to provide for my dryer vent? This vent is for the eventual basement suite(currently unfinished), and I don't have plans to use that vent for the time that I'm in this house.

you're not putting it on the property line?

Corner lot, so the one on the property line is already built. This would be from that fence to the side of my house.

[littledan]

I'd recommend sinking a post maybe 12" from your foundation and attaching the fence to that. I would not attach directly to home siding, despite what my fence contractor told me... lol. No, i'm sure you are NOT supposed to penetrate EIFS siding with random fencing nails lol

[JfuckinC]

why would you want a 12" gap between your house and the fence? i Put posts touching my siding on both sides to minimize gap.

I think as long as you don't cover the vent with a post it wont matter though.

[littledan]

You don't need a 12" gap between the fence boards and the house. Just a gap between the post at the house. You then attach the fence boards to the post and can cut them to length with a 1/2" or 1" gap to the house to allow for shifting. That way the fence doesn't damage your siding. (i.e. you cantilever the fence boards on the post)

I want my garage floor to look like that!! What kind and from where? I would be perfectly happy with that as a stop gap.

Did a bunch of landscaping I'm the front and back year, 4 trees added. Post pics when the sun comes back out.

Living room has crank open windows and I wanted to move the portable AC into the main area so I swapped out the ugly white plastic window insert for some mirrored acrylic I laser cut to fit. Looks a lot nicer. Used two way mirrored as it helps reduce heat coming in from the light but still can see out nicely. Adds a bit of privacy too. Unfortunately my laser wasn't big enough to cut it as one piece so there is a line in the middle where the two pieces meet.

How much did that cost you? I am trying to do the same thing for our bedroom, but don't want it to look ghetto. Your solution sounds pretty good!

I just used scrap pieces I had from projects so not really sure. Acrylic shot up in price a lot with all the businesses making barricades.

Could probably grab some plexi from home Depot and cut that. All I did was measure and cut a hole and then cut a slit down to the edge to split it so I can get the larger part of the coupler through so it holds it in place.

I have bad news for you.

I know. These crank windows make putting AC in difficult. I think what Pheoxs did is about as good as you can hope for.

[littledan]

Just make sure you shut that window when your home is not occupied so you don't come home to a crackhead in your bathtub

For sure, I cut it so the hose is just high enough I can still crank the window shut when I turn it off for the night.

Crank windows and not wanting to look ghetto is how I ended up with central AC.

We did the same in my sons room, worked very well.
