Put in a utility sink in the mud room. I’ve never attempted “plumbing” before, went reasonably well.

Got a bit of a hack job on the drain line that I might post in its own thread for advice, but functional.

Don’t even get me started on the washer dryer install, fucking installers. I’m probably going to unhook everything and redo it all to clean it up a bit. But that’s an easy evening job when I get around to it.

Don't forget that those rubber hoses are technically supposed to be replaced every five years!!

I installed a front and rear dashcam on my girlfriends car.
She had a two near misses a couple of weeks ago and I was not a happy bunny. I bought a $25 front and rear cam. I was going to pay to have it mounted and hard wired. But I decided to give it a go myself.
$14 hardwire kit, $14 mounting clips, a heat gun from Home depot and fuses from Canadian Tire.

It was a bit finikey figuring out the fuse part and where to connect the negative terminal. Nothing complicated though, just took a bit of time and a couple of youtube vids.
For a cleaner route. I had to drill a hole in a small side panel for the wiring to come out from the fuse box. Mounting clips on the dash. Then feed it between the glass and blind spot panel, then under the ceiling cover to the cam.
Then it was the issue doing the wiring for the rear cam. It took three attempts to figure out a correct route for the wire and hiding it in the plastic panels. I made the mistake of not feeding the wriring around the seat belts.
Mounting clips worked great in the open. That was a good buy.
Overall, a much cleaner look than my vehicle which has wires everywhere. It took about five hours in my first attempt, that included stopping and running round hardware stores, figuring out fuses etc. But if I was doing it again with all the parts. I would only say it would take me less than two hours.

Why didn't you just tuck all the wires in the trim???? I bet that's even easier than you spending all that time bundling and using those stick on clips. Tuck the wires into the headliner and then across the A pillar to the door jam, pull the door molding off and hide it all down to the footwell.

I like to wait until there's ice in the hoses to winterize my yard irrigation system. So I'm doing that today while I'm home sick from work.

Sorry, perhaps I was not clear in my writeup. Thats pretty much what I did. I only used the clips in the areas where it was exposed.
I was intually going to use clips everywhere. But then realised it was easier to hide most of it.

^the garage looks pimp. I like the light layout.

Today I got the 8.1L gas truck winter ready. Studded snow tire, and Mr Plow. I just ordered some troll dolls to glue on the plow top to intimidate the snow more.

Wheel spacers/adaptors came with the truck to fit the newer-model GMC summer wheels. All together it was 96 bolts to remove + tighten to do the swap. Love the Porter Cable impact.

Dropping off the summers in the shed of shame.

Hnnnngh.

Oh I like that! Green drawer liners make everything east to see.

I was going to get the racks but I dont have enough sockets to fill them all out and empty posts would drive me crazy haha.

Was in PA the other day and noticed they are carrying the green liner in a couple of widths if you are still thinking about going that way with your box.

Where did you buy that sink? Did it come as a package (cabinet, sink, taps)? I want something like that in my garage.

Home Depot haha, came together in a package. Just grabbed one off the shelf up at Beacon Hill.

The tap hardware isn’t great. But it works fine.

Well, my fruitless search for garage door opener parts led to me just taking people advice on the on sale chamberlain unit.

Ripped out the old one, and got the new one assembled and installed. Just need to finish the wiring tomorrow and hopefully this is behind me... Wife is sick of scraping windows

[Tik-Tok]

Downgraded the Merc today for winter. Also sharpened the kitchen knives. I need to do that more often

[vengie]

Added some insulation to the doors on the front garage and the rear garage/shop/gym

That was some very unfortunate timing for the door failure.

[killramos]

Especially considering the part that failed had nothing to do with load or cold.

New unit has been great so far though so no ragrets
