Mine is an older 70".. don't recall the series. It has the very thin bezel like that though. It was in our living room but someone took over my wife one day and she said we needed bigger TV's in the living room and media room. Had to have been a demonic possession because that is not something she would ever say. So anyhow, the 70's in those rooms went to the patio and garage. Patio TV is not 4K but it has a great image, it is 3D though... not that I ever use it for that. LOL

Looks good. I saw this originally and didn’t see who posted it and thought it was part of @PSU Taco85 remodel. I was like damn, they finished that quick!

I wish, that is a badass fireplace! At some point I'd like to get something like that put in once you step down the patio stairs, it's on the wish list. The fellows here finished all the structural posts and aluminum capping, and started laying the track for the walls. They are making good progress and I will post some pics up in a bit.

Tonight I put in a new Halo 6" LED canless light in at my parent's front porch, and while I was up in the attic I tied in the thermostat common wire to both their AC units so I could connect the nests that have been collecting dust

The screens aren't in on the porch yet and there is a lot of finishing touches that need to happen.
I'm a little concerned with the weather coming this way. Hurricane Ian is supposed to come right through here. Don't want water blowing on the TV and don't want the wind to catch it like a sail with the fully adjustable mount. Screens will help knock the rain down so that it doesn't come in full force, but those won't be in before the storm hits. I'm kind of contemplating pulling the TV down until the storm passes

Do that or put some tarps up.

Track system is partially down. I’m thinking the walls will be installed probably Monday.

The parging on some of the foundation walls has also cracked over the years. Once I get the porch done I think I’ll have someone come out and reparge any damaged sections.

Got home from camping and my wife immediately started washing things. She started with all of the kids favorite things for obvious reasons. Dryer not drying.
Started with the shop vac on vacuum. After a few seconds of that, we switched it to blow mode. No change in performance of the dryer.
Let it cool off. The following day...
Disconnect vent hose again and try to run it just venting into the room. Panel displays "PF" which Google says is a power failure. Cause is either an interruption to power or a faulty board. Clear the code and run it again. Success!
Mentioned it in passing to a neighbor. Next thing I know, I get a text that he put a dryer vent cleaning brush on my porch. Ran that thing up the vent about 9 feet before it couldn't go any further and got a few clumps out. I'm not sure it got enough stuff out that it would have been blocking it, but maybe. We'll see on the next load.

Saturday- Slept in, played with the kiddos for a bit and then went to work on the house for the rest of the day. Got exterior electrical boxes caulked and wired in. Installed some additional electrical outlets that I wanted. Installed twelve electrical boxes for all my garage lighting (it's gonna be crazy bright in there). Put on some stainless joist hangers that I got in. Cleaned up and organized stuff. Got half the yard mowed.
Sunday- Slept in, played with the kiddos and then went shopping with my wife for fixtures, flooring and future ideas. Spent a bunch of money and got finishes decided on (luckily I have a really cool wife who makes rational decisions). Went over to the house and got more work knocked out. Finished mowing the yard.

Dryer appears to be working as normal. Phwew!
I try to remember to clean the dryer vent every couple of years. The dryer works a lot better when I remember.
I put in some refurbished Netgear Orbi routers I ordered off Amazon for my mom's house as a early Christmas present from my sister & I. Those routers are crazy fast and I don't think anyone else has wifi6 on my street. I get wifi6 coverage down the street from her house with damn near instant service. So I'm happy with them so far but time will tell with them.
I really like that they don't have lights that blink if everything's working properly. They only blink if there's an issue. So that's pretty sweet.

I've been wanting to upgrade to those for a while. Good to know.
Good timing; I am waiting to get fiber installed at my house and need to pick up a new router before they install.

They made some good progress this week, we had a bunch of rain in the beginning of the week so only had 3 working days. I'm thinking the door will be installed by end of the day and then next week they will finish with the glass panels.
Came pretty darn close to their software model he roughed in when they came out for the estimate, I like the looks so far and these guys are doing good work.
