So my Dremel died earlier, but I still had some screws to cut down. It wasn't very fast, but it did get the job done

This year's unique ornament comes from a little shop in downtown Glendale called Cactus VHS. @techconnectify.bsky.social and @cathoderaydude.bsky.social would be proud

Did you know there's different versions of the Arizona cans? Circle K has a version with their logo on the rim. Shell still has the $0.99 ones!

Videos don't always do justice to convey the size of some things. Got to see a Trabant like @agingwheels.bsky.social has, it makes my Mirage look like a monster truck

Expanding the drip irrigation to the new trees, and the future planter that will be along the block wall. Good thing it rained recently, this ground is so hard #DIY #Gardening #Projects

Hung some lights up in the attic, makes a huge difference over needing to carry a light or wear a headlight

Washed the truck today and took it to the store. It's definitely showing it's age up close but looks mint passing by #Ford #F150 #OBS #Trucks #Photography

Replaced the window on the shed. To nobody's surprise, there was nothing sealing it to the frame, and had the bare minimum number of nails holding it in. The new window slides much nicer and also has a screen! The trim around the window was made of MDF and disintegrated upon removal. #DIY #Projects
The old window minus it's decorative trim, as evident by the area lacking paint.The window frame, old window removed and cleaned up. Ready for the new window.The new window completely installed with sealant and screws.

Floor ✅ It's not perfect but it's much nicer. Last stop is OSB on the walls and ceiling, and maybe a coat of paint. #DIY #Projects

Nearly finished installing the foam insulation, still have to do the short ends and the area under the window. There's some small gaps that I'm just going to use spray foam on, and I still need to figure out the roof vent and the smaller vents on the ends. #DIY #Projects

How do you like my racks? 😄 Now I don't have to put stuff on the floor and break my back I'm kinda thinking of buying two more of the half-height racks and using them for counter tops by the window

Just a little work today. The ground was a solid 6 inches below the doorway so I added some dirt and some pavers. Nothing crazy, still needs a little more dirt on the sides to lock it in. #DIY #Projects

Finished up the wiring by installing some outlets, and took out the last shelf/counter structure. It's now a clean empty structure. Probably going to buy some utility shelves so I can put all my stuff back inside but still work on the shed itself. #DIY #Projects

Finished the lighting. Didn't add any additional outlets yet because I haven't really decided where I want them. At least one will go opposite of the door for an AC unit. Maybe another at the far end for chargers. #DIY #Projects

Took out the counter along this wall, it's supports, and all the pegboard above it. I also took down the florescent light fixtures, all the EMT and outlets. Upgraded the light switch to a double gang box so I could put a GFCI outlet there. Tomorrow I'll probably finish the lighting.

It cooled off quite a bit today, and I've got the energy. Finally starting a little upgrade to our shed. Better lighting and outlets, some insulation, better organization. Today is just about getting rid of what doesn't belong and sweeping/cleaning #homeimprovement #project #diy
Picture of the inside of the shed, mostly emptied out. Tools and parts are piled on the counter, some of the shelves still have some things on them.
