    Spent the day in the garage painting pro Armour doors on our side by side. Not sure why PO picked silver.

    I have a dryer roller job in my future. Starting to hear very minor squeaking. I should probably order the parts now.
    Ordered parts. Minor squeaking got worse. Mrs. Penguin asked what was going on. Parts arrived.
    Did the deed today. Would have been reasonably easy with enough room, but noooo. Very close quarters. Juuust enough room to remove the drum. Would have to move an upright freezer and a cabinet to get the dryer out of the laundry room. Anyhoo, done.
    Replaced all 4 rollers, even though only the front ones were noticeably bad. Like really bad, hard to turn by hand.
    Belt seemed ok, as did the idler. (shit, jinxed it...)

    I've been installing a Pure Turbos kit on the wife's car. Almost half way there.

    Bachelor life forever garage-chic living room continues

    Picked up, painted a MasterCraft tool cart, cut 5" out of the height. Now it's an end table

    Waiting on tax refund and I'll grab the Craftsman workbench with some drawers to replace my desk.

    Probably grab one of the wall cabinet units to put some junk out of sight too

    I had to cut back about 10-12" from one of the main trunk lines on my HVAC system as part of the basement reno and relocate a branch. When the PO built this house they moved the furnace from the original plans but it seems like the builder didn't update the HVAC drawings. Before I moved it the main trunk line ended about 15-20" in front of the window (which was also moved in the plans) and also hung about 1/3 of the way down the window making egress pretty tough.

    I forgot how much thicker the tin is on main lines and I am really feeling it in my hands today. At least this time I remembered to put the cut resistant gloves on BEFORE I cut myself instead of after.

    Interesting. I'm surprised that's an option. I figured they would be throw-away.
    I have a leak as well.

    Replaced a gear on my wife's KitchenAid mixer last night. Only slightly worn.

    Dang!

    How hard was it to replace? I am wondering if I should check mine... How much use does your wife put it through?

    They are pretty much throw-away unless someone doesn't want an access hole cut in the ceiling....

    Super easy to replace, asides from the infuriating circlip with holes smaller than my smallest pliers. Ours is around 13 years old and gets used quite a bit, especially for bread.

    Not a bad idea to open it up and inspect. Reliable parts has everything except H1 food safe grease, which Cabela's carries.

    When you have an exterior hose bib, frost free or not, you want to install a ball valve with drain 12-24" inside as well.

    Replaced our "old" Samsung dishwasher with a Bosch Benchmark series. The wife is extra thankful tonight. She's on all 4s in a maid outfit "cleaning ".

    Successfully replaced agitator dogs in washing machine. Had to buy 10 inch socket extension though. Also, lost the paperthin slip washer somehow, so made one by cutting out the bottom of a plastic folgers coffee container. Lets see if it lasts.

    I'd suggest actually putting that valve with a drain back by were the water line takes off the main line. This way its on a vertical potion of the line which improves drainage as well as lets you blow out the entire line if you wanna get fancy. Also this doesn't require you to leave an access panel in an awkward spot if you're finishing the basement.

    Either way though, definitely want a ball valve on the inside too
