Put up that clear film over the master bedroom patio doors. First did a layer of "weather sealing tape" along the gaps that let in the most cold air, then used a "patio door kit" which is up to 220 cm tall. Honestly it would be better if it was 240cm, because with a little more it would be easier. I probably should have gone the other direction. Maybe I'll remember next year.
Anyway kids, moral of the story is that patio doors are stupid.
Especially when they dont even lead to a patio.

Good enough day to redo silicone in a bathroom.
I drained and refilled my hot tub.
Also proceeded to slide down by 4x deck stairs.
Pretty god damn sore today...
Good thing I have fresh hot tub water.
Mr. Mike's is handling caulk, squeezing caulk and smelling caulk.
All day
Nothing more satisfying than a good caulking

Look at that tiny white caulk though. Barely fills the gap.

I called it silicone for a reason around you juvenile delinquents.
If you have tiled showers and freestanding tubs, the only thing that needs a good caulking is your wife.

I say stupid shit all the time.
I fixed stupid ass broken/leaking "frost free" bib with a new stem. When weather got really cold it began leaking. Bullshit. 2nd year in a row it has failed. Apparently indoor shut off valves for hose bibs are not a thing out here. Will have to install. For now have installed an insulated cover overtop of the bib.

Inside shutoff with a drain, drain the pipe back to that, nothing to freeze. Better than any frost-free bib.
I just had to help a buddy out with a damaged check valve in a suspected frozen line. Who the fuck puts a threaded check valve in a PEX line leading to either sprinkler system or bibs??!
The answer is cunts. Dirty cunts.
My dad helped me replace the element in our wall oven today.
You have to pull the whole fucking thing out for 4 little electrical connections that should be 2 sockets...
Hardest part was removing and re-installing the door! You have to have it just right or it won't come out or go back in

I figured it was time to replace my couch cushions over the holidays. I emailed a couple local shops for quotes and they came back between $90-110 per cushion and I had three to do. Fuck that! Turns out people sell foam cushions on Amazon, so I ordered one to try out. One foam sheet was enough to do all three cushions and only cost $110.
Cut it down to three equal pieces, reused the batting from my old cushions, and now I feel like I have a whole new couch again. There's so much more support on my lower back now and I wish I had thought to do this years ago.
Must be couch month.
Kiddo split the middle cushion on my couch. Just cheap bonded leather couch - but I'm not in a hurry to replace it.
Called a dozen places 600-1000$ minimum to repair a split seam... I'm sitting here going ?!?! for <36" of seam?
Amazon supplied 40$ of fancy upholstery tools, waxed thread... 4ish hours later with lots of breaks...
It's not pretty but its not in pieces, and didn't cost new couch $

I need to re-do mu couch cushions as well. Do you know if you can just show up and place an order or do you need to be an upholstery company to deal with them?
