Nice pics, nice presentation too.
N, I think Mark said it was a Eastern Bluebird.
The silent check valve I bought, leaked Ray. It was the clear kind...fwiw. Kerry dropped it off to return it. I am going to get another kind though, it made a huge difference!!
My AC buddy with the gauges and...
That help is a double edged sword I learned today. Andrew was back to finish cleaning the leaves from the corner.
I had texted my son earlier to see if he would help me move the condensing unit today after work. It was still about 25ft away from it's pad. I ran the refrigerant lines stubbed...
There are so many things that we don't know. Like in the movie, "we don't even know that we don't know"
Did you know that Peter Weller.... the actor that portrayed ROBOCOP has a PHD in Italian Art?
or
Did you know for example that there are pictures, actual pictures of some of the guys that...
Yes, I am fortunate to get help so fast too. I chalk it up to years of heavy tipping. The table/chairs is up on the deck but I get it....Erin wasn't to put her blow-up hot tub over there.
I replaced the Evap coil in the AHU yesterday...it even fit but it was a very tight fit!
I will run the...
He or she is a 5 lined Skink and I'm feeding it a few fresh & wet meal worms. Too early to tell gender but the boldness lone makes me think a male but in truth, I know very little about lizards.
I will miss them......typically each summer I get 3-4 regulars on this deck and up to 6 or 8 on the...
I am humbled again by how decent some folks can be. I had a brushpile probably 10x10x10....blocking part of the fence. Sticks to 6"logs & 2 years old.
I texted my yard guy at 9am this morning & told him that I was in a jam that the fence painter was coming on Saturday. He works for the State...
It's only 50F and I'm surprised he's eating but he's young so he probably came out early. I won't feed them anymore as I'm getting ready to leave this house but it's still pretty cool to see him come out and over to eat.
Electronic cathodic protection is different in method but identical in result as a sacrificial anode. I didn't know you were talking about the electronic type J as few folks even know about them. Were you in the Navy? They use that on ships. There is still a point of corrosion....but it may be...
Mag or Zinc but close enough....like you said, "laymens terms"
I forget that freshwater boaters don't deal with "zincs" on a hull/ engine skag l;ike we have to here.
The rod I sunk with the barrel was one of these copper covered Mag rods.
I reached out to my yard guy this morning to get...
You aren't kidding Z, I got quite the education some time back
The nacelles on my car cost $2,700 at the Dealer for a '02 SLK230 that was 2 years old then.

I thought this must be the result of drugs on a brain, like the frying pan commercial. Who thinks this way? It's not a hammer on a...
I've used that paint as a topcoat for a decade because it's gas resistant and it looks like glass was poured on whatever you paint....but I never imagined, thanks for posting this Z!
Required...with today's water heaters as the tanks are cathodacally (sp)protected from the house piping system so they need to be cathodicaly protected separately which is what the anode within the heater is for. PITA! We used to protect the whole system with a ground to the electrical system...
Kerry drank coffee yesterday at 2pm....she and I are chatting at 1am. Poor girl...she mowed and put product on the yard...shes beat up.
I finished my drywall hole and set my barrel....today I backfill. 3 yds, 450 shovel gulls.....and my body feels it!
A anode bolted to the barrel will keep it...
That's some pretty heavy duty Insight Sin....i like it!
We looked yesterday, we didn't buy yet...
We are in agreement now though. We won't be going crazy with it. Neat, nice and with a couple nice plants.
Where I live, the Nursery has Home Depot prices with Nursery quality.
Thanks...
Delegation! Every friend Joe has, lightens the load on you, especially as you get older. This is serious stuff but I'm guessing that you have spent many, many nights looking at the future. God bless you btw....you are one of my Heroes!
I was kind of torn with the driveway.....a 2" coat of...
base premise;
I am selling my home
Kerry is coming over this morning and we have to go look at plants to re-landscape my gardens. I have the typical never-cared for azaleas lining the front, overgrown rodo's on the side....junk.
We have fun with this stuff b/c we are so different so we...
I bought a Larson full view front storm door to replace my Larson full view front storm door that was 17 years old, at least.
I actually bought this during Covid but it arrived without the hardware kit including the lockset but I knew I could flip my old one over. Lowes let me keep the door for...
Don't see a link Ray, just a link to log onto FB. These are a ton of products out there, many that can be repurposed. As long as it isn't toxic and he fits, you could be good to go. Post up the igaloos though, now that I'm curious.
Hey, you had your chance at my labor when I was forced into...
