what did you do around the house today?

[Tik-Tok]

Replacing my back door, frame, trim and all. Huge PITA with a 50yo house when nothing was standardized. Stupid brickwork making it twice as difficult then it needs to be to. Definitely won't be done this weekend, but I'll at least have the door hung and handle on so we can lock it.

Replaced a leaking hose bib so I can water my front lawn

It appears to be a treadle machine, so not really much to go wrong with it. Get some sewing machine oil and go nuts, - you may need to free up some parts but sewing machines are usually pretty straightforward to get running.

Does have electrics too yeah trying to get things loosened up and lubed. Nice to work on non disposable things for once. Serial number puts it 36-48 vintage. Hardly looks used besides the wood - need to learn up on shellac repairs for that.

Haha I don't think the light bulb really counts. :P From the cabinet I assume it's a Singer model 15 of some flavour?

Model 127-3 and no it has an electric motor complete with 40svintage wiring intact (and in surprisingly good shape)

Measured to do rocks in the front yard, and more measurements for cedar privacy walls around the hot tub.

Need me a money tree.

Ah, a retrofit... on a vibrating-shuttle machine no less! Have fun with the restoration!

Finally got around to building a frame for my spare utility winch to make getting stuff (like wheels/tires) in and out of the attic easier.

And my daughter's floating bed is all done.

Removed more grass, have a couple more days to go and it will be ready for bark mulch, gravel and a fire pit.hoping to get the back yard finished up before SpikerS builds us a fence, and we can enjoy this summer.

Dump run, kicked off about 400kg of stuff but they messed up so they charged me minimum.

Did the same. Went to the Spyhill landfill and it took me 2 hours just to get in and out. I think everyone in the city decided to do the same thing. It was over an hour just to get out and pay.

[G-ZUS]

Built a small garden out of some spare cedar i had laying around

[The_Rural_Juror]

Very nice, spikerS.

[D'z Nutz]

Nice work everyone. Love seeing all these DIY projects.

My dad and I installed my TV to the wall at my place and then helped him over the weekend to clean their garage.

He has so much random junk... Is there a donation place that's open?

[dj_rice]

Dethatched and raked all the leaves. Didn't get time to seed yet as it started to rain

FYI Scotts Awesome/Tough/Relaxed grass seed is on sale at Home Hardware for $11.97/bag. PM at Rona/CDN Tire/Lowes if HH is not close to you. I believe CDN Tire might even have manufacturer coupons for $3 off/bag at the grass isle making the bags $9/each.

Good deal for grass seed I think

Spent the entire weekend doing a second coat of mud in the garage... and still only got a second coat on maybe 75% of the garage. Also mudding a ceiling 12'-13' up in the air on a ladder is terrible work haha.

The builder did a paper thin first coat so we're doing touch ups before paint. Probable still do a quick third coat before we sand.

Checks out, even the mower
