iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

From yesterday, but I do have the majority of the laundry and sink setup roughed in. First time using pex-a. Not my best work, but how could it be? I'm not a plumber, lol.

Eagle-eyed viewers would notice the blob of grey putty on the first pic. That was indeed sort of covering this pin hole in the main stack.

It was a lot of work. But I feel a lot better knowing it's fixed and I don't have to worry about something finally letting go with the old system. Next time, I've gotta finish up the electrical, install the siding block dryer vent, finish the pump vent, then wiggle the stacker unit in place

I've been doing a bunch of work for my mom over this weekend getting her a new laundry setup going, but got side quested on replacing a majority of the drainage plumbing. I am particularly fond of how this turned out.

Congratulations on 700! Here's to many more!

A while back, a buddy of mine asked about a 10 car list. He didn't quite mention the rules, so this is my 'fun' list, as he called it.

The floor is no longer treacherous to walk on. Fairly happy with how it all came out. I wish the furring strips were a bit wider, but they were on budget and like one of my old journeymen used to tell me, "we aren't building a church".

Finished up the attic repairs today and built my little storage platform to recover the lost storage space from having to insulate over the bathroom. Bought some kinda straight studs from the orange place and used up an old piece of OSB. It'll only see light duty, so I didn't over-build it.

I've finally gotten around to patching the attic floor after ... more years than I'd care to admit. It's originally 3/4" T+G boards, but it got chopped up over various electrical projects and reinsulating. Opened up some of the areas to make bigger patches rather than multiple little ones.

So this has always bothered me since I bought this place over 10 years ago now. I think it was finally becoming more of an issue; hitting the door and causing it not to close properly. One YouTube video later, and voila! Remarkably simple to adjust this model. Just gotta leave a little slack.

Over time while working on cars, you'll create your own special purpose tools. I made another one today.

Fun fact: acetone, found in nail polish remover, will destroy the finish on your plastic bits. I got this really nice clicker style drain assembly with a built in strainer basket that is leagues nicer than the original moen one and a near-perfect match to the faucet.

Gotta be one of the best days in parenting; throwing out the diaper pail. We're not done with them yet, but this can fills up super quick when they're bigger, and I'm so over emptying it. It's also gross, rusty, and smelly now that it's been through three kids.

A rather unpleasant surprise I stumbled upon today. This old cpvc joint is finally starting to fail. Conveniently enough, I had the right combination of doo-dads and bits to make a half decent repair. I'll be designing a new water supply system soon to finally get rid of that junk.

A friend shared his top 10 list without telling me the rules, so I made a top 10 list of 'cars that would make me smile assembled in a pole barn' Now I gotta make a modern list, which is a real challenge for me.

I gotta figure out some sort of snow fence setup for the back yard. It builds up into a huge drift and if I'm not persistent, it'll thaw-freeze and I'll have a mountain of ice.

If it's not one thing, it's certainly another. Auger return spring broke recently on the snow blower. Easy fix, but not without waiting for parts to come in. I've got extras now, too. This spring is what pulls the auger arm back and disengages it. Without it, the auger will keep spinning some.

That was by far the easiest O2 sensor I've ever changed. No heat required, even. Original, 106k miles. After breaking it free with a O2 socket, I was able to thread it out by hand. New sensor is far more reactive than the old. We'll see what happens.

I ended up calling in to work today. Well, I couldn't call as I still had not gotten service back from the outage yesterday, so I emailed my PM this pic when I got back home. I did not feel like playing 'where is the road' at 6 am this morning without cell service.

Welp. Happy new year. Looks like this will be a year of repairs. We've been getting relentless wind all week, and it seems like the wind finally damaged something. I'll take this over anything else, though.
