Stupid cheap pine but not awful.

We finally got some sun today in the afternoon so I was quick to start mowing the lawn after work. Weather was still nice after that so I pressure washed the front steps and the deck. Record rain fall this winter means alot of moss and build up on concrete. Deck is covered so that only took a few minutes thankfully.

Stripe game on point. Will fertilize this coming week and get that deep green action going.

I was already insecure about my lawn, and now I want to commit sudoku. Your lawn looks great, jerk.

Fixed a leaky indoor shutoff valve for one of my outdoor taps by replacing the cartridge. Benner is a good supply store. Not the cheapest, but they carry a lot of obscure parts to fix older plumbing

Got all the cabinet carcasses in today, and the size of this built in finally hit me. This thing is HUGE! *thatswhatshesaid*

Have a couple minor things to take care of and lag the top row into the wall studs still, and then the framing is done. Then it is time to prime the whole top 2/3rds and fill any imperfections. After that, it is time to install all the face framing!

Its a big job, but I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, and i am stoked. I can't wait to finish it!

Noticed some moisture on the kitchen floor couple days ago. Then noticed some parts of the flooring popping up. This morning realized the dishwasher has been leaking. Looks like there is older flooring below so hopefully no water damage further along. Will try too pull some flooring and assess.

Moisture sensors under dishwashers. Always.

Constructed a plant hanger and shade provider to the eating area on our back deck. Sorry of one wall of a pergola kinda deal...

[finboy]

Odds and sods this weekend, the in-laws were here and bored so we:
-replaced the furnace exhaust flap on the side of the house
-updated the smoke detectors
-disassembled and rebuilt a baby gate to swing the opposite direction
-fixed a plug in the master bathroom
-finished trimming out the laundry room
-laid about 3 graves of sod in the yard (I used to work at the cemetery, it’s me metric for measure)
-plants and shit got put in (I generally pay no attention to this, but I’m sure the visa bills will be fun)

I need to build something like this as a screen since our deck towers over our neighbors yards on both sides. How is that attached to the deck?

We were making lunch the other day and smelt burning plastic as we were preheating the oven and it never actually got to temp but the control panel was still working fine. I thought a heating element or something went and was not looking forward to pulling it out of the wall to disassemble the backside to replace the bottom one. When I went to pull it out I realized it was hard wired so the house so I pulled the cover off to disconnect the wiring and I found that my red wire melted and was disconnected. I got super lucky there wasn't a fire. Quick inspection of it all then cutting back and stripping new wire and she's good as new.

Then because I had the kitchen in a mess I decided to replace the kitchen faucet with a new Moen Motionsense faucet. The temp control is a little fucky but I like that I dont need to touch anything to turn it off and on if my hands are dirty.

Lucky indeed. I've been looking at getting one of those taps, We are hoping to redo our kitchen soon so maybe we will go that route.

I've had a Moen with motion-sense for about 8 years and it's incredible. Two friends have also bought them after seeing mine and they like them.
Mine has the temp control for the automatic water on a module that's under the sink while it seems the newer ones rely on the handle position. I prefer mine, but whatever.
It is a Moen so there will be a warranty claim, but they are very reasonable. My hose/ends needed replacement and that was free without issue. Now I'm struggling to keep the set screw that stops the handle from jiggling done up tight. It's the most obscure hex key size in recorded history. It's a clever blend of not 7/64" and not 9/64" but still not 3mm either.
