Might I suggest a plywood backer plate behind that, for strength and just in case it gets knocked. I see only one hanger. |

Tomorrow I am sending off a couple electrical components from my Asteroids machine to get analyzed and repaired as needed. Found someone in a FB group who said he can fix what's needed. I have a problem on the display, but everything else works OK so hopefully it will be something minor.
Pretty cool how everything inside the cabinet can be unplugged and removed for servicing. Can't wait to get her back running properly again.

Just finished attaching two oscillating fans to the eave of my back patio. I will work on tidying up the wiring tomorrow. I also have a pedestal mount oscillating fan (electrically) tied into the two on the eave. All 3 come on when I flip the switch plugged into the extension cord. These are handy little switches. I have a second one in the garage I use to turn on an overhead shop light.
The increased wind flow in back will help mitigate some of the stifling conditions that always come with the warm season here. The two smaller fans were only $23 each from Walmart. The larger fan I've had here for a while. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626389747.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626389747.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626389747.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626389747.JPG Next item back there is to try and re-direct the exhaust from my AC condenser out from the enclosure. That should be an interesting project....:p |
2021 spring & summer repairs.
Replaced toilet flushing hardware. Not much of a rebuild. Last month routine maintenance to keep 2012 BMW road worthy. 6 months ago replaced dryer heater element on 10 year old clothes dryer. Tore down carb on 5 year old lawn mower this May. Had to clean and get residue/film off port and needle from running ethanol gas. Switch to 100% gas, recreational fuel. Same same on one of the generators that failed to start during Texas ice storm last February.

It's been an adventure to say the least. Working on the two attic units drain systems currently that requires multiple, as I like to say...."The great escape side slides". I have to lay on my side and pull my way along a triangle shaped passage 21" high by 20" wide for about 10' pulling myself along by wall studs. It opens into a small room 6' x 5'. I am not claustrophobic, but dang it's tight. Doesn't help with the attic north of 120 degrees. I was thinking of lining the passage with radiant heat barrier material. That way, when I slide through, I can pretend I'm in the launch mode at space mountain. LoL Cheers Trev |

Here at work, there is a huge hangar that has the same outside condenser unit. It's so efficient, it turns very slowly and is so quiet, you think it's not running at all, but you can feel air moving through the fan. I had to run all new ducting for the lower floor of the home and then in the attic, which was not fun. Here is the one that will maintain the downstairs. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626766128.jpg This is some of the metal I installed. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626766249.jpg Each upstairs room is getting one of these. This will feed air/heat into the room and one line into the upstairs bathroom. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626766399.jpg I built a 10'x8' platform under each one to provide a solid base to work. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626766614.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626766701.jpg Cheers Trev |

Wife wanted to visit the youngest and his family for Halloween last year, and.........wanted to go Steampunk for our costumes. I was tasked with building our hand cannons to match our outfits. Steampunk is a retrofuturistic sub genre of science fiction that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam powered machinery. Yup, I looked up the proper definition.
Did all of this in a weekend using nerf guns and leather materials obtained from Tandy Leather. I had no idea what I was doing and let my inner 12 year old guid my hand. My prop in the raw http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767483.jpg The wife's, after I painted it with flat black paint http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767582.jpg Finished products http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767644.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767674.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767704.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767748.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767819.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767855.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767891.jpg Transporting these thing on an airliner was a totally different adventure......�� This is how I chose to pack them... in a locked container. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626767988.jpg Included a letter stating they were costume props and non functioning with my contact info and flight info as well. Basically, per TSA, I could carry them on since they were props/toys. Wasn't even going to go there. It was a fun project and they now hang on the office wall next to our vintage Goonies framed movie poster. Cheers |
Way cool!!!

Helped a neighborhood college kid fix the brakes on his car. He posted on our neighborhood FB page that he wanted to learn how and didn't have the space or all of the required tools. Knocked it out in a few hours and didn't even have to get dirty! He had been told by a local shop that he needed front and rear brakes, I think he was getting scammed as there was plenty of pad material in the rear and everything was very clean. He left pretty happy and confident about taking on future repairs to his vehicle.

Fighting the battle with my SC's brake bleeder valves, installed a light bar and switch box on the Jeep, getting ready to order a complete suspension for the Mustang, and tearing shelves out of the garage.

=========== This morning I trimmed two of the tallest Cabbage Palms at one of the properties I take care of. I did all the others last month, but saved these two for last. I used the new-to-me ladder I bought off CL and it made a big difference in terms of stability. The old one was 4' longer, but so freaking shaky it was ridiculous. On these taller palms I also lash the ladder to the palm truck for added security. These Carbide pruning blades dominate! ;) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626971215.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626971215.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626971215.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626971215.JPG |
Brave! I'd probably have a panic attack and wouldn't be able to get back down.
I like the saw. |

Seriously though.....this is not my cup of tea, but I can still manage, as long as I know my limitations. I am close to them right now on the 2 palms I did today. Take my time....and go slowly....methodically. The new ladder was key. Very solidly built! Then lash it down as needed. Not all that hard.....:p http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1626981533.JPG |
I was staying at a place called Lizard Island in Queensland, Australia, and they had a arborist called Chile who just climbed the palms and cut the coconuts and unwanted branches off by hand. I guess he had spikes in his boots. It sure was impressive seeing him climb the trees.
