What have you done to your house today

[Premium08]

Getting rid of the wire shelves in my closet and replacing with wood. New wood is 16 in wide versus the 12 in wide wire shelves.

^ I hate wire shelves. I especially hate trying to hang clothes on hangers from wire shelves. Both my current house and my last house had wire shelves in the Master bedroom closet and both were ripped out the first week.

In my current house I used 1"x6" tongue and groove roof decking for my shelves. A bit more character than plain smooth wood boards.

Nice, didn't think of that. I was going for the cheapest wood I could find. The kitchen pantry has wire shelves that don't even span the width of the wall so I'll be doing those in wood as a well

Here's a pic of my closet shelf. I put the patterned side down so it would be visible. I'm also thinking of using this for a wall paneling somewhere maybe. It comes in 10' pieces.

Today, after 2+ months of trying to get various electricians to come and do the job, I finally decided to tackle running coax cable through the basement and up into 4 different walls, and add boxes and jack plates.
Got 2 of them completely done, ran the cable for the other 2 almost all the way.

All done minus paint and one more shelf under my clothes. I haven't decided if I want to make another clothes hanger or just another shelf a bit lower for storage.

Had to reseal the bottom track for the shower door in our bathroom. What a PITA. Thought I could just pop the track out and clean it up..... Nope, the wall tracks locked the bottom in place. I didn't want to mess with the wall tracks, so had to clan out under it using all kinds of scrapers, blades and hook tools. My back and knees did not like that. Resealed it and hoping it works, wasn't able to get as much silicon under the track as I hoped I could.

Also swapped out the screens in the storm doors for glass.

Finally moved the bed to get the ton of dust from behind it cleaned up.

I'm beat, sucks getting old, and out of shape.

Halloween I had cutdown the scraggly trees, this past week I transplanted about 20 raspberry plants and tore out the rest of the prickers and burned it all today

cabbage chopper, start it up and just chuck whole cabbage in it and voila instant cole slaw!

That's why I got the "SHO" version, bigger motor than the box store version

I just picked up the same one a month ago. Also the sho larger motor and a smaller pulley. First snowfall was 13" wet heavey crap and this was a beast but it does burn thru fuel quickly

Ha, I should have some snow by now but it's 60 degrees! I'm stuck in hell, put the mustang away for season but can't ski and got this new toy with no snow in foreseeable future to play in

Sounds like you approve of it, and I got no problem with heavy fuel use if it has the power

Last night I ordered a 'whole house' carbon filter for my water system from Amazon hoping to reduce or eliminate the sulfur smell. So while looking at where I would mount it, I realized that I probably need to go ahead and paint that wall first. I built the pump house before I painted the house and the inside wall never got painted until this morning. It was pretty ugly with the rust stains from previous leaks in the water system spraying on the house.
