🏊‍♂️ Still no pool. Still chasing contractors.
One no-show after another, with zero communication. I get delays. What I don't get is being ghosted.
Third contractor showed promise. Local, knowledgeable, communicative. Now it’s a rain game.
Also: my desktop crashed mid-post. Overheating CPU drama. 3 years of weekly blog posts. Consecutive. No breaks.

"Why waste your time with a formal course when you can become a DIY electricity wizard with a book that's just as electrifying as a toaster in a bathtub? ⚡📚 Expect to go from 'what is a volt?' to 'I can build a spaceship!' in five easy steps, because who needs trained professionals when you've got a manual? 🤖🔌"

Here's the thing right, if you know how to swing a hammer and know which screws to nail, you can build a chicken coop. Or a raised garden bed. Or a vine canopy. Just stop being a useless turd and learn to use basic hand tools. Remember, it all starts with a pallet.

I've decided to try to cast some replacement knobs for the stovetop range and I kinda like this design. The contrast isn't great but I think they will look better once printed out.

Any fun suggestions?

Key Home Upgrades to Make After Moving In: — Congratulations, you’ve moved in! The boxes are stacked like skyscrapers, your Wi-Fi is questionable, and you’re eating pizza off a paper towel. Moving is a whirlwind, but the chaos doesn’t last forever. Once you’ve settled in, you’ll realize your new house still needs some tweaks. It’s nice, sure, but does it feel like *home*…

Actual question;
I have two holes in the fascia bricks in my house, they used to contain natural gas fueled space heaters. So 8-10 bricks per hole. I'd like to pull out the expanding foam I filled the holes up with and re-point the holes right? My question is; where do you even start locating matching bricks? Like I have absolutely no idea where to even begin to locate bricks from 1953 or so!
Any thoughts?

It's been a steady stream of #homeprojects in the last week. An exchange student is staying with us so a bed needed to be built. And since the "workshop" is slowly coming together, also making a rack for free weights to get them off the pile on the floor.

Hubs aka @matt303 has put up the giant 15m HDMI cable so I can have the PVR play via the projector :)

I'm moving to Boston in August to take care of my sister for three months so I'm really trying to get some projects moving.

Last fall I promised my son id build him a new shed so yesterday I started the demo. Black mold and tons of carpenter ants.

How long should it take one person to build a shed?

You know how you say, “Eh… I’ll just do it myself!” and then 6 hours into it realize it’s a way more massive job than you thought? Yeah… #homeprojects #woodworking #oof

Pretty grim looking 10 day weather forecast here in New England. Cloudy, scattered rains, highs in the upper 50s (like 14.5ºC) throughout. Hate it when the spring time weather pattern gets like this. So depressing. Not really what I need. The sun came out for a bit yesterday, so the doggos soaked up some rays on the deck. I think you can see in this picture why I need to replace the decking. Should I go pressure treated, composite or cedar/redwood? #today #DogsOfMastodon #HomeProjects

My dogs laying on the gray back deck. They are back to back, soaking up the rays. Obi is a brindle Plott Hound while Phineas, looking up at the camera, is a brown and white Lab pitbull mix.
