Amatuer. Those things should be automatic!

I cleaned up after a non-hurricane 11.7 inches of rain.

Whats the best product for garage floors? Do you recommend acid cleaning the concrete first? Or a tedious pressure wash suffice?

Dropped off all the plumbing fixtures today. Plumber starts tomorrow

Lights get dropped off tomorrow and electrician starts Thursday.

I loaded and hauled 780 lbs of scrap out of my back yard to the recycling center. Now I'm tired and want to sleep. :)

Like Kitchen floor, please post details.......

Just finished my year long cottage remodel . Every weekend for the last year. My son and I did every thing , gutted back to the studs and started over. Finished and is up for rent for the summer . Take a look a tell me what you think ( bobs cottage greens lake) just google it

We moved into a house built in 1956 about 2 months ago. The list just keeps on getting longer. :(

Cool house, mid-century mod. We love the place.

Painted the mailbox last night. I save the big stuff for the weekends. ;)

Thought I'd post a pic of the garage part of my roof I put a top coat of elastomeric paint on and comment on it. The color is "glacial white" for good reason as you can see. The roof material is a black, flash down, bituminous membrane. I let it weather for a couple of years before I applied the elastomeric coating. The coating required two coats of asphalt emulsion and two coats of the elastomeric coating. The coatings will extend the life of the roof, but the main reason I did it was to lower the heat transfer from insolation. The roof temperature at 10 AM during the summer was around 175 to 180 degrees. After the coating, the temperature at the same time of day was around 110 degrees.

Raked the remainder of the yard, set-up sprinklers to cover entire backyard's new top-soil and seed, got the Zero-turn back in action, will complete first mow of the season today.

Good choice on the flooring nailer! I've been using the same one for two years with no problems.

$25 from Harbor Freight because the box was missing...

i used the same tool when i did my floors a few years back. First time in my life i appreciated knee cap protectors.

Plumber didn't show up. Says he's running behind. It'll be Saturday now. I wish he'd told me that before I dropped off $6k in fixtures Monday.

HVAC showed up a day late today.

Electrician is a day late. He'll be there Friday. Fixtures showed up today.

I'll finish trim outs early next week, install hardwoods and carpet, then lock out and landscape end of next week.

Hope to finish in 2-3 weeks, get a CO and move in.

Re-locating the gas line for my bbq. The present one runs along the side of my house then under the rear deck. The new line is a shorter run from inside the house.

Received an offer over asking price!

Hey dad911 the floor is from Armstrong L6626 reclaimed wood dark. Pictures do not do it justice.

Used to be just a slope behind the wall. Recently terraced while following the contour of the wall, covered drop-off in replanted packy.

Doing the rain dance now

So I knew I had a problem when we bought the house a few months ago with the air handler closet. It appears the condensate drain line was plugged and was not allowing the pan to drain properly. Water seems to have been over flowing the pan onto a poured concrete floor. The water found its way thru cracks to the wood floor joists and they were rotten. I made the seller make repairs to the drain line and rotten floor joists. House passed inspection so I'm thinking I'm good for now. I knew I still had some more work to do but other things came first. Well we had some hot days lately and we had the AC on. I noticed the condensate line on the outside of the house was not dripping. So.....I opened up the AC closet and the floor and filter was wet. It seems the air handler is not sitting level and the pan is tilted away from the pan drain.

I started looking around and decided to poke at the studs and the walls. The walls are covered with asbestos "millboard". Is hard and about 3/16" think. I doesn't get soft when wet like drywall does so who knew that the framing was totally rotted. I removed the millboard and the bottom 1" of studs were completely rotten away. The bottom horizontal plate of the wall framing crumbed in my hands. I could pull the nails out with my fingers. The tongue and grove subfloor was also shot.

Here is a pic.......
