Am jealous, my wife got to meet a beyond member that I haven't.

Another 1,700+ whiskey barrels being unloaded this week at a fourth storage location - we've now got easy access to over 3,200 barrels right now plus our much smaller stock of wine barrels.

How much do you charge for body disposal?

Depends how many pieces we have to cut it up onto to fit into a barrel.

PMed!

Baby proofing - gates on all the stairways.
Definitely didn't consider these when building even though we were pregnant at the time. Had to get a bit creative due to a rail/spindle interference.

Prying baseboards and drilling walls in a new place makes me feel sad.

If it makes you feel better, we did the same thing, and the gates have been off for years and years but the holes are still there. The funny thing is that the kids damage the walls so much even outside of the playrooms that you don't even notice after awhile. You just accept it'll be a massive repaint once they're both teenagers.

New house numbers.

New house numbers.

Where is that from and how is it powered?

Home Depot and Wayfair sells a kit.

You order the faceplace and the numbers you need. There's a template to line up the holes and then you drill. It has a light sensor to know when to light up.

I had a lit number sign there previously from the builder but it eroded badly. Finally found something that could cover up the spot and take advantage of the 120v that was already there.

50$ per number? What the fuck. I've made whole signs for that much before.

Wanted to make something for my kid for Christmas. I picked up this cheap old Ikea bunk bed on FB marketplace. Stripped all the pieces down, and removed the fiber board panels from the headboards/footboards.



Started playing around with designs and decided I would make it into a loft bed. He can crash down below now as hes only 3 and not night time trained, but in a year or two, he can move upstairs. Up top will be a play house in the mean time.



Got to play with my router table to make a lot of the components. No fasteners visible for window trim pieces.



Painted all the pieces separately. I hate finishing. This is a test fit of the stained window trim to see if I like the colour.



Cedar shingles for the roof



Stained ceiling. Super happy with it.



I still need to make a ladder. Just ran out of time. Its all assembled with furniture bolts so its very easy to take apart/move.



Got the lights installed. The kid loves it! All in I'm about $400.

eh. Its half for him and half for me. Making a mess in the garage and almost cutting my fingers off is very therapeutic for me these days.

Yeah, that's why I tried to rehab the original assembly first. But it was too far gone.

Installed a warranty replacement of my Doorbell Camera Pro from Vivint. Old one was having night vision issues.

Height speakers installed. Finally have full Atmos.

Went with Klipsch 1650’s on BF sale, cheap but effective. Don’t need anything fancy for height channels.

Ordered a pile more bits and pieces for the basement development including plumbing fixtures and ethernet cables. Then I started to figure out my completely full electrical panel because about 1/2 is labeled incorrectly. With these new codes for (basically) everything needing to be on an AFCI breaker or on its own dedicated circuit the panel sure fills up quick. Thankfully if I move two things to external AFCI so I can run those half size breakers I can free up a bit of room.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Those fucking breakers are like $120 too!
Maybe they're a cool trillion now, because Rona.

Installed my Christmas gifts over the past few days in the garage. Bike rack for the wife and I, tire hung on the wall for the wife and I and built some shelves...

Lack of AFCI tandem breakers is a real pain, I managed to squeak everything into the panel but only just.

Technically I didnt do it, but had to pay for a new furnace. Went out of town and got notification the next morning that our house was at 6 degrees. Didnt really NEED a full replacement, but parts that needed repair came to $4,500 with a few other parts on the verge that would go well over $8k... so went for a full replacement instead for $7500 to get a 10 year warranty. Needed this like a kick in the teeth, but better than frozen pipes I guess.
