STUDque 12,184 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I love my wife so much I cleaned out the pea trap in her sink. That must be true love because WOW that was disgusting. It's the first time I've cleaned it since we moved in 2 years ago and who knows how long it was before that with the previous owners. I won't post a picture to keep you guys from losing your lunch, but picture a brown banana peel covered in hair and boogers. Yuck! The smell was just God awful too.

tony@CIC 21,042 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yeah haha. There's no such thing as just "one more thing" Each project I finish spurs her ideas for more. For a while, she had a pipe dream about painting the kitchen cabinets but this backsplash project effectively put that to bed. I wonder what else will pop up as she watches HGTV. Next up: Build a costume closet for the girls. Intermediate: Figure out a solution for the shower door Distant future: Paint the foyer (20ft ceiling) and build a deck (12ft high) Sent from carrier pigeon using MyGolfSpy I'd like to lodge an official complaint against HGTV. They show entire room makeovers in 30 min or even an entire house being restored in 60 minutes with everyone smiling and no one disagreeing on the design choices. This sets an unrealistic expectation with my SWMBO who doesn't understand why it takes me so long to finish a project!

STUDque 12,184 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 ---------------------------------------------- Mine? It's the shower door. I've tried so many "fixes" but it just never does the trick. It's a cheap builder's grade door and just needs to be replaced entirely. Those things are just so darn expensive and time consuming to replace. Sent from carrier pigeon using MyGolfSpy FIXED. I finally got the motivation bug and made this thing happen. Needed a little help from SWMBO but I got it done. Tried a few things but ended up resetting the hinge and hammered the door back straight. Not good as new but it closes flush from the inside.

Use your imagination.You both just reminded me of how my wife and I discovered a previous, umm, "improvement" in her old house .. she lived there before we were married and at least 15 years prior had some remodeling work done .. including finishing the basement for her kids to hang out in. Well, one Fall there was a bad odor floating around the main floor. Couldn't track it down; we looked under and behind all the radiators and everywhere else. Started searching through the basement and found a dead mouse under the water heater .. ok, that's it, right? Nah.... Next day odor is still there and getting worse. Start inspecting every inch of the basement .. no more mice or other things, but .. at the bottom of one wall looked like there was leak coming thru; the carpet next to the wall was damp. There happened to be an old access port at the far end of that wall .. got a flashlight and peered in, and .. *P.U.*!!!!! Plus, sure enough, there appeared to be a layer of water lying there between the foundation and the finish wall. Call my buddy Tony (a GC) for advice .. he ends up coming over and we start to open that wall up .. and what we found was..... A piece of PVC pipe coming down from the kitchen and downstairs bathroom area - and that tied in to the main outgoing waste line - had been cut about a foot and a half above the waste line and then abandoned. NOT capped off; NOT plugged; nuthin. So.. a few feet down that waste line made a hard left turn .. yeah: 90 degrees .. and it turned out there was a clog there at the turn. So.. all the s#*t and p#*s that was supposed to keep flowing downhill and out to the cesspool was backing up and coming out that not-capped stub pipe and spilling out into the space behind the finish wall in the basement...... 2 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..Callaway Epic Speed 4W and Epic Max 7W (both Project X Cypher) ..Callaway Big Bertha 4H and 5H (both Recoil ZTR) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT) ..Cleveland CBX-2 54 and CBX 60 (both Rotex graphite) ...Edel EAS 4.0 (stock shaft, zero offset hosel, round grip) ..all in a Datrek bag on an MGI Zip Navigator electric cart.

STUDque 12,184 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Very well could go in the rant thread as well but my garbage disposal went out on me tonight leaving a nice little mess in my kitchen. So I sent my wife and kids to the in-laws so I could replace the unit. I hate hate hate messing around underneath the sink. Luckily, this wasn't so bad. I told my daughter (3yo) that I fixed the sink and she asked me to show it to her. I was like uhhhhh well.........The worst part about these types of things is you drop some decent money and a few hours of your life to fix something and make it exactly the same as it was before. No upgrade. Nothing better, nothing noticeable. Just not a big pool of water on your kitchen floor. Blah.

STUDque 12,184 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Anybody lose anything big during the recent windstorm? I had some of my flashing come off but made it out OK besides that. It was slapping against our house for most of the night so I was thankful when it finally broke off. Riding through other neighborhoods, it looks like it snowed shingles. It'll be an annoyance to get that fixed but at least they didn't get a tree through a window or anything nutty like that.

STUDque 12,184 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Not exactly home related, but I changed the brakes on wifey's van yesterday. It was an "easy" job but I feel good about it since I've never changed brakes before. MIL didn't have a ton of confidence going in so that added a little pressure. Been driving around all good though [emoji106] Home-related, it's about that time of year to get busy with yardwork. Aside from mulching, grass cutting, and hedge trimming, SWMBO has plans to turn a "shelf" in our retaining wall into a wildflower patch. Next weekend should be busy weather permitting.

tommc23 11,979 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 This past winter was hard on my yard. Not much grass left its mostly dirt from my dogs.

Charli 914 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The winter ruined brand new trees I just planted. I'm trying to tie them back up straight but not sure it's going to work. These trees weren't cheap. The poor guy behind me has 20ft privacy trees and they are all bent over. I'm talking like 25 green giant arborvitaes.

It'll be an annoyance to get that fixed but at least they didn't get a tree through a window or anything nutty like that. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Sorry, I just saw this. I didn't lose anything major. Had some minor trim damage around my garage doors and front porch area. No roof damage but we had just had the roof installed last fall. Everything held up nicely. We also had a tree come down along the back edge of my property line. It took out the power pole serving my house a few others around me. The power company took their sweet time replacing it. I cut up the downed tree and gave it away for firewood. The house on the adjacent corner of my street had two large trees come down and devastate the house. I can't imagine the damage being repairable. May be a tear down and rebuild situation. The owners apparently have moved to another location and we haven't seen them since the storm. Nothing whatsoever has been done to the house other than someone came to cut the trees up for firewood. Their kids haven't been back to school either so, I'm assuming they moved out of the area. Roughly six weeks after the storm and we still have trees down all over town. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and my golf course remains intact. Priorities, right!
