I bought these prints while travelling last year.
I built some frames and I finally put them up.

[shadowz]

Did some grinding and painting in the garage last weekend, left a pile of mess all over the walls and floor, needed a good mopping

[tirebob]

Looks awesome man!

Replaced my Nest doorbell with a new warrantied one, and also upgraded the transformer. Super impressed that Nest gave me a replacement when the original was 18 months old.

Had been messing around putting LED strip lighting into my pantry for a long time, and was having a bunch of small problems with connectors, transformers and other really annoying things. Ripped it all out today, and started over with the Ikea Ledberg strip lights, and it was done in only a couple of hours.

Top tip, the Ledberg kits come with a 3W transformer that is flakey when you connect mroe than the 3 ligth bars together, because it doesn't output enough wattage. BUT the Ansluta LED driver kit has the exact same funky connector and is a direct swap, so you can drive at least six sections, instead of the 3 that comes in the Ledberg kit.

Pics don't really show much, but there's good light into each shelf now, which is all I wanted. Hope you enjoy my packed pantry:



Have used these Ledberg kits in my basement storage area, and honestly, they are the fastest, cheapest and easiest way to light up a space. $12 per kit. I approve

The real question is, are they on a switch that turns them on when the door is open and turns them off when closed?

If not, you're welcome for adding something to your to-do list.

The prison floodlight level illumination is a bit much. Wife is cleaning out the pantry right now. I suspect I will be asked to reduce the lumens soon.

So it was a make work project.

Cut down a tree in my backyard and I’m starting my Pinterest-esque wall mural for the wife. Tree delete was for kid’s trampoline.

Dryer was showing an error code indicating an communication issue. Did a little online digging, then took it apart, pulled apart the wiring harnesses from the cinteol board and reseated them. Reassembled and it seems to work now. Annoying, but a lot better than buying parts or a new dryer.

[Tik-Tok]

Finally getting around to fix the water damage in the basement walls/ceiling (fridge ice-cube maker line burst a few years ago).

Also spent the last two weeks shoving all the furniture into two small bedrooms down there to get the carpet re-stretched and cleaned. Figured if I didn't fix the drywall now with an empty room, it would never get done, lol.

my many "dear diary" posts have been pretty clear, but basically yes.

Finally finished this project that the wife has been nagging about since we moved in about a year ago.

Put a top on this box thing near our front entrance that we keep all our dog stuff in.

Before - no cover:


After - 1/2” oak plywood cut to size, veneered the sides, stained, varnished, put on some hinges and finished off with some nice slow closers so my kids don’t destroy their fingers if they play with it:

Painter wrapped up the main floor, I wrapped up the basement, took the night easy with the fiancé and set up the living room

[R-Audi]

Bought and hung a new painting in our dining/living room. The painter (Mandy Stobo/Bad Portraits) had a studio sale this weekend and I picked this one up. (At a fairly large discount!) Over the last year we have been trying to upgrade our Ikea/department store prints and adult a bit more with some locally sourced pieces of art.

[Strider]

Finally started terminating the nest of ethernet cables in my mechanical room and tracing them to install wireless access points, only to find that cables for the main floor and basement access points and TVs aren't there
