Yeah, I'm seeing lots of Ohio plates lately - oh wait - we're still in Ohio. 😜

That’s a great reason!

Anyone have any good experience with flooring for a home gym?  

We are converting the kid's old play/hangout room into a home gym.  Eliptical, exercise bike, room for some yoga etc.  10x12.  Anyway... its carpeted, and we were thinking of something else.  I've heard of folks using horse mats, I've seen websites advertising puzzle piece type mats you put together, I've seen pictures of an epoxy type floor.

I'm looking for some real world experience and recommendations.

And before you ask about dual purpose - I've already been told by She Who Must Be Obeyed that this is not for golf - we aren't doing this to swing a club in...  So those kinds of floorings are already off the table...  But don't shed a tear - I've got the birdieball putt up in another room...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i’ve got the horse stall mats in my garage gym. i’m not sure i’d use them indoors though. 

they come 4x6 and they’re about 75 awkward, floppy pounds each. 

on top of that, it takes a while for the strong rubber smell to go away. 

if i were making a bedroom into a gym, provided i wasn’t dropping any weights, i’d probably go with the interlocking foam/light duty rubber mats.

Had a different water filter system installed yesterday.  The 6year old water softener/filter setup was getting tired.

our wifi signal wasn’t carrying from one end of the house to the other. this left the family room, the deck off the family room, and most importantly - the master bathroom (and toilet) with pretty spotty wifi coverage. 

ordered a NetGear wifi extender and hooked it up yesterday. happy to say i’m back to scrolling on the can!

Pricing is out of control in Fl!! 
We have approximately 2,600 sq ft under heat/air that is a bit large for 2.  When the 3 teenagers and one daughter here a couple weeks ago house got small real 😱

 

Funny thing, we bought a single story, 3200 sq feet in 2010 for $299, sold it last November for $555, we were going to downsize, only 2 of us,,,, we ended up buying a 3900 sq, with finished basement, 3/4 acre, backyard ends National Park Forest starts, neighbors 40 yards away (I walked it off),,, the smaller ones available needed lots of upgrades and smack in the middle of fairways with neighbors about 20 feet away , no privacy.

I don't know if we'll end up in the path of the remnants of Elsa as she moves up the eastern seaboard but we are getting a generator test run tonight since we lost electric.  I was overdue to run it anyway and its not so hot as to need the AC for a while so while a little inconvenient it's not a big deal.

I’m sure you’ll be OK.  2-3” rain with 20-30 mph winds & 40 mph gusts predicted.

That's all that's predicted for Elsa??  I hadn't bothered to check too carefully yet figuring it was about a week away.... but we had those wind conditions last week in a couple storms!  I am not complaining, I hope all the named summer storms are that mild for everyone! 

Electric came back and the generator test is over for tonight!

That’s what’s predicted (as of yesterday)  for our area north of Orlando.

I believe that’s prediction will change today.

I started a backyard experiment yesterday on the lawn.  The heat really beats down the grass and eventually it dies off / goes dormant in large patches.  I use a fescue mix and have had the same results for many years....looks great through June and when July heat starts its downhill and by August its mostly brown.  Except for a patch of zoysia which is the opposite...fairly brown until early June then greens up nicely through the summer.  

So I decided to go zoysia, except I couldn't find any seed.  But I did find bermuda seed and decided to try that.  The course we play re-seeded a couple problem fairways in bermuda last year and they are doing fantastic so I figured I'd try the same thing.  

I didn't do the whole area, just a patch about 25' x 25' to see how it germinates over the next couple weeks.  Scratched up all the dead thatch and lightly rototilled to loosen the top layer, seeded by hand and watered then covered with topsoil and watered again.  Watered twice more yesterday to keep the topsoil moist and checked it again this morning for more water but it was still damp.  Maybe water again around noon.

I have Zoysia grass and you’re right finding seed is similar to finding Unicorn teeth.  Bermuda has gotten into part of my lawn and it’s there and not going anywhere.  Good luck with your experiment.

I think it will germinate OK if its good seed and I can keep it from drying out over the next few weeks.  I think the real challenge will be how it handles our winter temps coming back next spring.  I just got tired of the "drought & heat" resistant grasses I have tried over the last 10 or so years not being heat and/or drought resistant enough. 

How does the bermuda look & survive compared to the zoysia in your lawn?

The Bermuda is slowly taking over.  Not crazy about it but can’t get rid of it.  It seems the Bermuda likes the right side of the lawn with the most shade.  Zoysia is doing fine in the front/back where it gets majority of sun.

The lawn project is ahead of schedule.  Seeded Sat morning, I went to give it some water last evening and there were sprouts already!  Sprouts in 5 days....I didn't expect to see that for another 3 or 4 days at the earliest!  We are getting a nice rain this morning which will also accelerate the growth.  I started raking out the thatch from another area so I can seed that today if the weather cooperates.

officially hurricane ready!

luckily, the previous owners wired up a power inlet at the electrical panel and i was able to find the cord that feeds the inlet 

so if we lose power, we’ll still be pretty comfortable.

Talked to both Kids a while ago and lots of rain and windy but not bad.  Both generators are ready to go.

They are smack in the center of CT.

Talked to both Kids a while ago and lots of rain and windy but not bad.  Both generators are ready to go.

They are smack in the center of CT.

Good to hear Rick!  Hope It begins to disband soon!

Good luck New Englanders and LonggggIslanders 

Hopefully this weakens as it plods through. I have brothers in CT along the sound and also in North Boston and we’re getting hourly updates. 

so far just a steady rain and some wind gusts but nothing too bad

being stuck inside for a few days due to the rain from Henri gave me time to get some stuff done for my wife in the laundry room. 

hung up a cabinet yesterday which went really smoothly. was able to level it at the right height on a stack of bumper plates from the garage gym. sunk 5 screws through the back of the cabinet into a stud. 

the drying rack (which should have been the easier job) took me about 3 hours and a run to the hardware store today. i wasn’t able to catch a stud where she wanted to hang it, and the anchors that came with the kit turned out to be absolutely useless. 

had to run to the hardware store to get a couple of 1 by strips, paint them, mount them to the studs, and then finally mount the rack to the strips. 

the “hard” job took half an hour. the “easy” job took 3. 

can’t wait to see how long the hanging rod she wants up there will take me…

That's some good work! I really like the set-up you have there and that washer/dryer combo looks familiar.

thanks man! pretty simple low-budget project. i got the cabinets for free because i’m renovating a kitchen in one of my buildings. i hung two in the garage and one in the laundry room. 

last piece of the puzzle is a rod stretching from the cabinet to the wall. 

hopefully now i won’t have to push drying laundry out of the way while i’m eating breakfast.

How do you like your Samsung washer and dryer? I have a pair of high-end Kenmore elites (which are really LGs) that I bought brand new when I moved into our home and it just lasted only 10 years. Now the washer sounds like a jet taking off when it's in the spin cycle and I feel like it's not cleaning the clothes as well as it should. I figured just replace both and take advantage of the sales for this holiday weekend. I think to fix it would cost more than the unit itself, LOL so I'm thinking GE with that vent door or the newer LG's with the a360 turbo wash option. I used a Bosch washing machine and dryer at a rental over the summer and was pretty impressed with that but it's pretty small in terms of washing size and expensive. It's going to be an expensive weekend regardless, LOL with those appliance purchases and a safe for some self-defense items I have in the house.

I have the same ones and got them recently with no complaints they are really quiet and seem to work pretty quick, each one runs under and hour for an average load. We also got the drawers for under it which are fine to move it up, though I will say I am annoyed as a standard detergent bottle cannot stand up and you close it.
