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

Yep, this one was on the side closest to the windshield, bank 1. Had to remove a few things in order to get to it but it wasn't all that difficult. The most difficult part was unplugging the thing, lol. Got it changed out, no more lights, wife is happy. Win win win!!!

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.

Here's what she's doing...images all scrambled at the top:

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.

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.

I've fixed the gate and the garage. the rendering (concrete finish) is quite easy and fun. And a bit more of my fence art too :D

Thanks Baz!

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

I am still learning as I go, these units are all operated independently with their own thermostats. Each units copper line set runs to a single outside unit that can handle a total of five zones. This allows us to run one, or all three simotainiously.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pretty cool, Bugs! Glad to see you take time out to have some fun. That's so important!

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! ;)

Brave! I'd probably have a panic attack and wouldn't be able to get back down.

I like the saw.

The saw allows one-handed operation. The other hand can be used to hang on for dear life...lol.....

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

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.

Lizard Island.....ha....that's a great name!

I remain impressed with the folks who can climb trees.

I've always had a phobia of heights, myself. :eek:

When I was in the 8th and 9th grades, my family lived on Guam. I used to shinny up coconut trees to harvest the coconuts. Was rough on the legs and arms but I did have my tennies on. The native kids in the neighborhood did it bare foot. In this shot I am somewhere up in the palm fronds. I think I can see my sneakers.

Tomorrow I start a project for an old friend. Her house is nothing fancy and when she had to get a new fridge, she saw the need for some repairs and a new custom made food storage. I worked out the materials list and cost yesterday and she is happy with that, so I will begin. Over the years I have made a couple of other cupboards and a set of stairs for her.
I thought I was done with that sort of thing, but I guess not.

That's interesting, Les. Good luck with your project.

FWIW, I plan to install drawers in several areas of my house. Under both kitchen and bathroom sinks. In my lower kitchen cupboards. And in my pantry.

I've always admired how efficient they are, compared to just a static shelf.

I was going to make my own custom drawers, something I've never done. But watching some YT videos, along with getting the right tools, it doesn't look like that big a deal.

Please keep us posted on your project! SmileWavy

Not really fixin' anything but built this planter from some left over 5/4" deck boards. About 14" square and the thing weighs a ton. I need to stain it. It should last about 20 years. ;)

Tenant said the drywall was soft in a spot. It was practically caved in when I got there a day later. Gallons. A hundred year old house but that apartment had been rebuilt and was on the newer side.

It rained very heavy this last week. Roof is older but has a good slope and no defects. Cleaned the gutters and found the 8-10yo plastic gutter-guard had turned into a lumpy mass of dirt. Only the plastic top mesh remained recognizable. I will replace with the wire mesh type probably. The gutters are a foot lower than the walls and there would have had to be tremendous water to fill them up completely and not drain out the soffits. That was not a probably source.

Next thought I had was that the tenant upstairs had a spill accident and didn't tell me. He's a great guy and I'd done quite right by him many times. Rule that out as well.

Opened the wall. Ran the water upstairs and there it was. A vertical 14-16" split in the cast iron stack which happened overnight. Plumber said lightning can do that. There was zero evidence of any surface mold. I still sprayed it with 10% bleach and ran the ozone machine a few times. Finished removing all drywall and cellulose for the plumbers to work clean. A couple dozen trip to the dumpster. The mystery of the slow sink drain upstairs has been solved. Cast iron is pretty good but it does de-laminate and peel inside. I'd gotten the main roto-rootered a few years ago as a precaution but didn't think about the verticals.

All tenants have other options and are happy with the place, so it worked out okay for what it is.

You're trying to make a joke there aren't you, Baz. ;)

Rewiring the instruments on my Kubota tractor. It's the second time I've had to do this. The rats eat the soy based insulation off the wires. This time I used PVC insulated wire (thanks to a suggestion from a poster on here), but obviously I wasn't able to buy the coded, colored wires - only black & red. Hense all the tags. Plus I put in the mesh to keep the rats out. Hope that helps.

Isn't that a Samoan coconut tree?

Malayan Dwarf - reaches only 30-60' in height.

Most of the ones in Hawaii, I believe, are the Jamaican Tall - which can reach 100' in height or more.

Baz. I have the repair manual for the tractor, so have a good schematic. Plus. I made tags on each side of the connectors in case the rats are able to attack again for some reason. I hate having to repair wiring too.

Installed the engine under tray, installed the Bluetooth OBD reader for engine specs for the track and washed the 330ci.

Still need to modify and install the transmission crossmember spacers. I need this because the spec e46 race exhaust hangs down lower than the stock exhaust.

Rewiring a Bobcat soil conditioner so it will work on a Cat skidsteer.

2 cylinders to fix on a Bobcat mini-excavator, and regular maintenance, filters, etc.

Yesterday I did one on my Kubota Tractor.

Gas pipe and plumbing a new pool heater.

Is what I would rather be fixing. But alas, our 911 still awaits the caress of our hands. LOL

Used my new lil Harbor Freight 2 gal compressor to texture some repair patches before work. Ran the mud through the hopper just fine for what I needed. Had it been a room, I would have used my big compressor.

This lil guy is insanely quiet with a twin cylinder pump. Cats walk right by it and looked at it as it was running.
