Onenof the benefits to this floor is that marks and such are just character. Jefanna left white paint all over it so we are going to have a day or two of crawling around and scraping it away. I try to walk around a couple times a week for ten minutes and just scrape up Paint and tape glue. When...

Trying to get caught up in my editing. Dropped an update video today.

Well this is a farm and I’m pretty cheap, so I’m the tire change people unless I absolutely have to hire it out.

I have a gallon of slime ready to go into the tire tomorrow morning. I loosened the nuts on the tire but havn’t had time to do anything else. The slime seems the easiest if it is just a matter of not sealing up well. If it is anything more, then I will move up from there.

Drop the short update video this morning. I am a week or so behind actually two weeks at least. And I’m just trying to get caught up. Editing is the lowest thing on my list of priorities with my life right now, so until I get a moment late at night by myself it does not get done. I’m going to...

We started doing some dirt work and jefanna was shuttling dirt for me while I was in the excavator. We did t check the front tires on tractor and we have a flat in the middle of the field. I am hopi g the tire is still viable. I will be dealing with that tonight when I get home from work. I am...

I did not sell the anvil. I got interested in knife making about 15 years ago and made a few knives with a very primitive charcoal forge. They were ugly but effective. It came from an article I read in a magazine. If the world ended today, could I still get drunk when I want to. So I learned to...

Taking the cash from all the tools I sell and slapping on my building loan. They set it up so you don’t have a payment your first month, but that just means you grow your debt for a month and end up owing half a payment more. And then pay interest on that additional half a payment for the whole...

A very good morning for me. Sold my router table with router. Sold the Buffalo Forge Drill and the rockwell/delta jointer. Happy not to have to move them all again.

While I love the Unisaw, and the extra long fence, a contractor saw would probably be more practical on the farm. Something I can move around. Maybe even battery operated. But definitely something that doesn’t require the footprint of a cabinet saw. I am keeping my cheap bandsaw and my delta...

My lovely bride planted tomatoes and pumpkins and flowers. The tomato plants are 8 inches. Flowers are a foot and the onions are easily a foot tall. Can’t take a break. Trying to clear the rentap. They want to put aomeone in it Monday so O have to move My woodworking tools out. Have a guy...

Update time. Last Monday I called the automated inspection line and set up for Tuesday. Looked that night and I wasn’t on the schedule. So the next day I wasn’t on that schedule either. Thursday I went downtown and talked to the department of Community affairs. They said I didn’t have my...

This one doesn’t require the push. Just turn it and on it comes. I will double check to make sure I am not subconsciously pushing but pretty sure I am not.

In my effort to get rid of stuff I listed some things on Craigslist. Gym equipment sold fast. But I got an almost immediate response on a squat rack from both the purchaser and another number. It seems the scammers are using automated text messages to ask if available and for more info. Wood...

Saved money. Took a lot of time. Learned a lot. Instal would have cost several thousand just for labor. Digging the trench saved 400-600 and they would have wanted to go directly behind house. And prices in general are a bit higher in my county.

This weekend has been mayhem. Forgot to post this video link here.

It all felt very confusing until I had done it and now it doesn’t seem so confusing. Of course I have not tried to tune the floor heat yet, just the domestic water. Fortunately I have wood stove and heat pumps as well.

Got busy this morning and forgot to post this here

Siding and corner trim are done. Anti tip is done. All that remains is the two plates to cover the light boxes. I will pick those up tomorrow. The realtor who rents this house asked me to show it to 3 people by appointment tomorrow. She is in the hospital. A nice older British woman who has been...

Lauren is doing very well. She has gained 20 lbs since the surgery. Back in school studying IT and devouring classes. She is doing 100% distance learning. She also has a photo shoot this month. She had signed a modeling contract in Nov 2021 just as the RMSF hit and she has been struggling ever...

I tried to take that attitude as it was happening. I didn’t feel he was being unreasonable and I am sure there would have been plenty of opportunity to give me pain if that was the objective. So a quick fix this weekend on some things that need to be done anyway. The engineering inspection also...

First off, I failed the final inspection. The issues he cited are minimal and I will have them back out here early next week to re-inspect. But he also mentioned some issues with my Health department paperwork for septic. I had issues with that last year but it should have been resolved. So My...

Because it runs 10-12 lbs from stage 1 to stage 2 3/8 coper is usually big enough. For poly the smallest they make is 1/2. The cost difference from 1/2 to 3/4 was minimal and if I ever want to branch off that line for a big propane grill in the back or a propane generator it will handle it, no...

I meant ti share this picture last night. I was falling asleep. I apologize. If you haven’t received the email you probably will I don’t play video games but I upload youtube videos and watch a lot of videos. My wife and I both work from home so there are zoom and teams calls and I do a lot of...

I have the master bathroom to build. I modified my building g permit and turned that into unfinished storage. The goal is to get a CO.

Oh, there is a ton of work left. This list is for what gets me thru inspection. I have half a dozen doors to instal. All baseboard trim to do. Have not trimmed any windows. Have not installed any closet stuff but we have racks to work with at first.

You guys are very kind. I have been lucky. My health has held up. Dr told me I needed a shoulder replacement in 2017. I told him what I was up to and he said to come back when I was done. Jefanna is making plans for my recovery next year right after new year. I think thats the best time as far...

I also got the email about data caps. I did not know I was being deprioritized. I have no idea what my usage is since we don't live there yet. That will be interesting.

As for the electric exposed, it wasn’t by desire. The walls and ceiling panels come with channels cut in them but you have to put 2x6 splines in on each side for the walls so you would have to drill that. Then you would have to pull wire thru those 1.5 inch foam holes and cut your light box...

Apple trees have been looking good but 4 days of rain is bad news. I will be spraying for rust this week.

Thank you. I didn’t know they had these. I am ordering 6 and will replace the ones for the kitchen lights as well.

We are chipping away at list. I am about to head out there and get busy again.

We have been making a big push. I finally had time to do a little editing.

It was one of the things I dreaded. It took more research than I expected.

Put out a video this morning. The initial fight with the boiler.

Made a little change to the bathroom also.

They delivered today. When they were backing up, you could hear stuff bumping around inside the truck up. This isn’t exactly a level easy driveway. When they opened the back door it was chaos, with empty bins and old appliances that were not strapped in. But they pulled my oven out of the...

At work yesterday we were talking about all the deliveries that I have had, that were damaged. 3 pallets of Mr Cool mini-splits that looked like the played fork lift soccer with them. Holes punched all the way thru one of the compressors metal grate. Three deliveries for the refrigerator...

Talked to the inspector who handles the office work and he said I can bring a set of plans with the master bath changed to “unfinished storage” and I should be able to get that approved within a few days. I have a listnof about 7 electrical things that need to be Done, including the outdoor...

Put some outlets in today. I worked from the house waiting on my 4th scheduled delivery of the range. They called me at 2:30 to say the truck was broken down on the highway. Mobile mechanic had worked for several hours but they had to tow it back. Could I take delivery this weekend? Sure. So I...

Propane. Vent is 400 cfm. Any larger would require make up air. I keep a window cracked in that room almost all the timeIt should be fine. Propane was 2.99 gallon. I was expecting 3.39 so I was pleased.

Thanks. I was pleased with the way it turned out but it was an ugly process.

I got 400 gallons of propane delivered last week I still have not installed the pigtail from the line to the tank. I have had the gas range delivered twice and rejected it both times because of damage. I had ambitious goals for the weekend. But yesterday I ran into problems getting the vent...

Finally had time to finish a video. Shower door install, sweating a pipe for the first time ( thatt copper toilet line). and putting lights in the bathroom. On a side note, about a year and a half ago, Lauren signed with a modeling agency. But she had RMSF right after that and was not able to...

Here’s a sneak peak of the vanity. Cold water works.

I have not put out a video in 2 weeks. Simply have not had time to edit. Been on a ladder for two days working on the electric in the main room and trying to get the media wall tied in. Put the smoke in the main room yesterday put the gas line in the boiler yesterday. Had to jump thru some hoops...

When I try to run the advanced speed test I get When I look at debug data I see Should the router be connected?

I got the message today, thT I am upgraded to residential. When I look at advanced it doesnt offer another speed test so here is the basic one.

Must be those recent launches and satellite deployments

We see the copper roofs going up around here all the time. There is a house just off the road a couple miles out of town town, near the Foxfield Racing place, with a spectacular mountain view. Copper roof and a copper “silo”. The silo is actually just an additional building with office space...
