The Home Improvement Thread

Picked this up on the way home from work tonight. Picked up the weedeater to go along with it. Batteries are charging now. I'll mow tomorrow after work and get back with an initial report. Probably won't weedeat until this weekend.

Reminds me I need to get a gallon of premium for my mower. Good luck to you & look fora4d to seeing how good it is to you.

I need to get rid of my gas stuff when it expires. Got 14 years on my weed wacker and it's a 4 stroke

Think Ive been through 3 mowers in that same time frame.

Make sure to put the auto air freshener sprayer in the bottom of it.

Came home, went out to the garage to get something and smelled stagnant water (I have plenty of experience with that smell). I flipped the main lights on to the garage and saw that the back corner had an 1-1/2" of water...right where my welder and plasma cutter are. Literally the second and third most expensive items in my garage are in the water. I don't have a clue where it came from other than maybe it came in through my garage door, seeped down the back side and collected in that corner (my garage floor is so fucked up/out of level it's ridiculous. But it's a rent house and I'm not gonna pay to level the garage. The main house foundation was leveled already).

This mainly pisses me off because up until now, this was the perfect storage spot for my welder and plasma cutter. Protected and out of the way in the back so now I've got to find a new storage spot I guess the welding cart just got moved up the build list.

But I got all the water sucked up and stuck a fan on it overnight to dry out. I checked on it this morning and it was all dry so life's good again.

I was reading that wondering how small the wheels on your welding cart are... but then. Yeah.

A good welding cart is nice to have.

Good luck man. I know you know it, but that water will be back. I don;t put anything down my basement that can't handle a flood - in reality I just build a base for my washer and dryer. if my water heater blows up my entire basment will flood + Ive already had it flood when my dipshit termite guy drilled out my blocks and never filled the holes with hydro cement. Whole wall filled up then seeped out through a nail hole on the last course.

I did that to mine a year or so ago. Need to replace the air filter and spark plug now.

A couple updates on the bathroom. We did more last night, but didn't get any pictures.

Floor and vanity are in, and some of the walls are painted....ran out of paint. Plumbers are scheduled to come out this morning to install the toilet and sink in the vanity.

Drained and replaced water in Jacuzzi, replaced filters, and ordered new headrests.

Even though it's hot as balls still outside, the 102 water temperature still feels great on my back and muscles.

I fired up the "Spa".. fancy name for hot tub.. last Friday night. It was 98 degrees out and the water was 102... too fucking hot.

Run the garden house inside and zip tie to the shower head.

Now that you have bought some time pull up You Tube and watch videos on replacing the valve.
Or call a plumber and sit back with a cold beer.

If no one replies I can text my BIL, he is/was a plumber. But he just does 3D CAD plumbing for new high rises these days.. his "plumber" days are a few years ago.. but he may know.

I like this option.

Is it just running out the tub faucet or no flow at all?
