Well, that there is a roof and a couple skylights. Not quite connected to the house the way you’re really supposed to but the owners didn’t want to cut the vinyl siding and I don’t really blame them. It do be what it do be. #HugeDeck #Handyman #SkilledTrades #GrowNostr

Well, got some progress reports. Friday was another rain day, so me and Evan did some more work on my front bumper. Got it boxed out, just still need to do the lids, mount the winch, wire everything, and figure out pulling points. Saturday and Sunday was pretty clear, so we jumped back on the roof for the screened in porch, framed for the skylights and started laying shingles. It’s right at a 4:12 drop so I can’t get on it, it’s just been Evan basically by himself on the roof, he’s been putting in the work. Failed to get any pics of the roof cause it’s been hot and sunny lol. Also, first thing Saturday morning, my oscillating multi tool took a 15ish foot drop off the ladder, onto concrete on a perfect angle….still works though, but it does get hot quicker. Gonna go ahead and grab the new generation Kobalt multi tool to have on standby for when this one finally does or decides it’s smart to shock me lol #Carstr #OffRoadstr #MadMaxStyle #SkilledTrades #Toolstr #Handyman #JumpBumper#HugeDeck #GrowNostr

Well…not working on the deck thanks to rain all day and probably until Saturday…now to figure out what the hell to do…

Well, it’s decked and tar papered. Shingles due as soon as we can get back to it. #HugeDeck #Handyman #SkilledTrades #GrowNostr

New stud work scabbed in, put in with screws so it can be removed easily the next time the shower stuff needs to be repaired. Going to leave screws exposed for the panel going over this opening so it’s also easy to remove next time repair work needs to be done. Currently waiting for the Kilz primer to dry that I did on the backside of the panel (to help increase moisture resistance in case of leakage). Added another couple layers to all of the fiberglass patches. Long row to hoe yet. #Handyman #SkilledTrades #IHatePlumbing #GrowNostr

Well, from building a roof to installing new shower plumbing at my house…wife called me about 330 this afternoon saying the hall closet behind the shower had a water leak. One of the unions on the valve was just pouring out. I forgot to grab before pics but here’s where we stand: new plumbing is installed and functioning. The new hardware was a bit shorter in length than the old so I had to do some fiberglass patching, and there was some pre-existing holes and cracks where a towel rack once was so I figured I’d seal that up correctly too. We also went ahead and moved the shower head higher since we were already there. Probably got another day or more of work to get it right again. Big props to my boy Evan and my buddy/Landlord Paul, we got pretty damn far in 5 hours. #Handyman #SkilledTrades #IHatePlumbing #GoodFriendsMakeAllTheDifference #GrowNostr

Well, it has rafters now…. #HugeDeck #Handyman #SkilledTrades #GrowNostr

I do appreciate Mazda’s newer models. This is a 2015 CX-5 and look how easy this oil change is! 2 screws and a plastic pin to remove the dust cover, and then bam, it’s all right there, no moving the oil drain pan 73 times, just boom. #Handyman #SkilledTrades #DIY #ShadeTreeMechanic #GrowNostr

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I didn’t have to work anywhere, so I Used some scrap pieces of lumber from building my shed to make a rack for all my scrap pipe and hang my car ramps so I don’t have to weedeat around any of it anymore. Had to resort to chemical warfare for the fire ants, tried soap and vinegar and so far it would only take them about a week to rebuild. Hoping this bait granule stuff will knock them out good. Today is oil change day for the family car and then I don’t know. But first we have to wait for the mama to get up and going even though me and the youngin have been up since 615. I kinda can’t wait til she’s old enough to do this kind of stuff with me but also don’t want her to grow up lol
