    Picked up a free 17.4cuft up right freezer from Kijiji that "didn't get as cold as it used to", began troubleshooting it and one day took the refrigerant leak detector home to check it for leaks found the leak coming from inside the casing.

    Yesterday I decided to open her up to see if I could pinpoint the source of the leak.



    Looks like its scrap as there are literally leaks through out the entire condenser on both sides and on top, compressor oil everywhere, don't want to spend the money to buy a new one(if possible) to replace it and don't want to take the time to run a coil myself.

    Sorry for the jinx, but put them summers back on. Not like I'm going anywhere far anyways.

    And the vehicle is less than 2 years old. Worst I've seen as well.
    I'd be tempted to pop those caps off to check the electrolyte level. Neutralize the acid on top of the battery before you start, using a flush of baking soda / water solution. If the cells are low, top them off with distilled water.

    Last time I saw a battery that bad the alternator had been overcharging the system by a couple of volts -- not enough to damage anything, but enough to increase the off-gassing from the caps. That resulted in that sort of greasy dirt on top, plus green and white "fur" on the posts.

    Good advice did all that. Levels were fine. Will check the alternator output this weekend.

    Some asshat asked for a house showing Easter Sunday during a pandemic.

    So needless to say the leisurely fix up projects at the old house I was working on all had to get done in one day.

    Painted half the house, capped some wire rough ins, cleaned it all up to showroom shape.

    Long day.

    Lots of cutting and sanding to build two shoe racks from repurposed 3/4"x2" oak hardwood flooring that came out of a renovation job. Nice and strong unlike the IKEA quality crud they replaced.

    Nice privacy screen, did you bolted those 4x4 into your rim joist or did you put them into the ground? I’m looking into doing something like this. I was thinking on getting a post kit from Lowe’s and adding the 1x6 boards.

    I did the post kit from Lowe’s last year. Turned out great. Is suggest using 5/4” boards though instead of a 1x6”. They fit snugger. We went cedar and we are very happy. Quick and simple install too.

    First run at vinyl, with shitty tools since Amazon is so far behind. Excited to take a stab at this.

    Replaced a couple of light fixtures in the basement. MUCH Brighter. went from the ol' fashioned 1 bulb "boob light" to a more modern looking two bulb. I have the same unit in an LED fixture i might change one out for instead.

    Started a bass cabinet for a friend of mine. Will eventually be home to a new 15" sub. Should be good to rattle a few dishes off grandma's walls.
