What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Why not just fly up to change them?

Ooops, never mind.

 

At least you'll have hot water when you're in the dog house. And a roof!

 

That little Kubota looks like it comes in handy...how many man hours so far?

 

Oooooo Tuff to figure

Work on Razors, work on Shed, work on Razors, work on Shed, Listen to wife, hehehehe


The plumbing really stumped me for awhile, set me way behind my schedule

I am a so-so plumber, a passable carpenter, and pretty damn good with electrical

To be honest this was the first time I ever even built a roof, so that was hours on youtube and some experimenting with angles and pitch.. I am quite happy with the fit and results.. I know I "Overbuilt" it but I dealt with 13+ years of the nightmare of the old Pumphouse so I built to overcome all of it's "Flaws"

This winter will be the test as soon as it goes to -5° or below, that was the absolute limit of the old pumphouse, I would be out there the next morning with the Kerosene Blower thawing it out..

I think I solved that issue by re-routing the pipes. and digging then down and through the casing like they should have been originally

Fingers Crossed

 

I know back in Wyoming something like your pumphouse they would use clear plastic siding on the side that faced the sun so the solar heat would keep the inside of the pumphouse warmer and pipes from freezing.

 

Public Service Announcement for Residents of Idaho...

 

I pulled the hairs out of my ears.

 

Now, put it on the calendar for tomorrow as well. Before you forget.

 

They won't attract fish very well,

 

You know you're in trouble when you have more hair in your ears than on your head. LOL

 

Jacked up the car, changed out the O2 sensor, pulled the front bumper so I could get the radiator out and access to the thermostat. Radiator has a pin hole leak.
Changed out the brake pads, changed the oil, and rotated the tires.
Hacked up the neighbors trees. The trees are flat on my side of the wall. Why would anyone plant trees in a 5 foot area between a house and a block wall? Threw all the cutting over the fence in to their yard.
Built a shelf unit in the garage.
Sanded and mudded the drywall in the new laundry room.

At least he didn't turn them into a shaving brush!

 

Man pressure wash because more power. Power manly.

But really the deck was dirty. Had to pressure wash that and the house.

 

Breaks....nice new and shiny....love changing breaks...I know, weird right?

 

^^^ I hate to say this, but you need a better jack and jack stands(unless not in the picture). A scissor jack is called a Widow Maker for a reason.

The floor Jack took a dive this morning, but yes there a a couple Jack stands just outside the picture. Had to resort to the trunk Jack after the floor Jack sprung a leak on the driver side (thank God for the Jack stands)

 

Just fixed 8 air conditioning systems. Now I'm having beer.

 

I need to service my air handler. The company I was using has packed up and moved north. I haven't done it myself in a good 10 years or so, so I have no idea what I should use to clean my coils. Any suggestions or should I just look for a new hvac company?

 

If you have been doing the Manly thing and changing your filters regularly your coil shouldn't need cleaning. It never hurts to open it up and wipe down any fugliness you might see 409 is great for wiping out the inside of your unit. If it looks really nasty it probably is and a pro needs to get involved. Hopefully this is not one of those cases because it gets expensive.
