Decided to remove a mulberry tree that was growing up into the utility lines. I've been getting a lot of use out of my chainsaw this summer.

Stone Lake, Michigan. I stopped to take this pic as I was driving back from Indiana. The water was warm, and I wanted to return on the weekend to take a swim, but I realized it would be Labor Day and decided to not deal with the potential crowd of end-of-summer people.

I just noticed that some of my posts never made it through. So I'm going to repost some older pics.

I decided to add a second door to the stairwell into the living room with the intent to wall off the original door in the kitchen to create space for an additional counter.

Saw other people doing this and thought it looked fun.

This happened while I was at AC.

Six days, 1430 miles. I got to see amazing places I had no idea existed. I did much less hiking than I wanted to due to a combination of me no longer being acclimated to high altitude, having gained 20 lbs since last year, and the weather being hot and dry. But I still had fun. Pics to come.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was bored. An advantage of being an autistic introvert is my mind is always occupied with something to think about. I enjoy solitude, and sometimes I find it in places I don't expect. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

I screwed *every* plank in the subfloor into the floor joists. (I used at least 500 screws.) Definitely worth it. The floor is noticeably quieter and stiffer than before.

Sometimes I see half-assed work in houses that was done just plain wrong, but I can tell that the person who did it was proud of his "accomplishment". This room in my barn is an example of that. The walls are rough sawn oak held on by hand driven rusted finish nails. It's coming down this week.

I hiked two trails today, a total of 8 miles, climbing over 750 feet. A trail guide rated one of the hikes as "difficult" and read to allow at least 2 hours to reach the summit. I did it in 50 minutes. Suck that, trail guide. I'm feeling accomplished.

Hey Canada, take your smoke back! Seriously, I've been planning this road trip for months, and I was looking forward to getting some good pics. Now the scenery is blocked by a thick haze. Huff Indian Village in ND. I wanted to stay longer, but I was getting attacked by insects that wanted my blood

I realized I haven't posted any updates on the bedrooms in a while. I started this project three years ago, and I'm finally finishing it. Got the drywall, paint, and electrical done. Ripped out the old floor (I wanted to salvage the wood, but it's no bueno) and started laying down the new one.

The upper and lower ball joints in my truck were badly in need of replacement. As always, it took three times longer than I wanted it to because I didn't have the exact right tools. Fortunately, I had a friend to helping who was able to drive me to AutoZone to get what I needed.

It took only three years, but we now have a freezer, washer/dryer, and utility sink in the basement. We can finally do our laundry at home and don't have to walk to the barn to get frozen foods. All the utility hookups (gas, power, water, and drain) were non-existent, and I had to run those first.

Last month, I got around to replacing the electric water heater with a gas one, and we're already seeing a substantial decrease in the power bill. (Given the sludge draining from the old one, its replacement was past due anyway.) Running the vent stack was a pain, but everything else went smoothly.

Electricity is $$ in this region, so I want to switch the water heater to gas, be able to run a gas dryer, and eventually have a gas stove. That means I need to snake a gas line around the furnace and across the room. I've never worked with black pipe before, so here goes nothing I guess...

No one told me that a tree branch had fallen on the roof. It doesn't look like much in the pic, but water was getting through the shingles there. [1/3]

The bathroom was neglected by the previous owners. Cracked and peeling paint, holes in the wall, mold all over the ceiling, etc. Last week, I replaced the light fixtures and toilet, fixed the window, fixed the cracks and holes, killed the mold, and gave it a proper paint job.

The plumbing in this house is janky as hell. A mixture of ½" and ¾" PVC, copper, and galvanized. Someday I'll replumb everything properly, but today I replaced the hot water lines with PEX because one of the copper junctions had been leaking for months.
