Bonded in a new section of pvc sprinkler pipe. I was testing out the sprinkler system after inactivity due to the heavy rains the past few weeks. Discovered broken section. Good as new now. And I still have all my fingers.
Trimmed the lower branches of the giant fig tree. Fig tree must die. Not at all attractive, destructive roots and all, but the worst part of it is, the figs are inedible nasty. It's such a large overgrown tree that I have to work at it bit by bit. Literally death by a thousand cuts. But I get to play with my wood chipper. Giant brush pile. Reduced to itty bitty pieces. And in a few months, will become compost. Woo Hoo!
When you take a dog to Kendall Shure, the swooshy dog groomer at Shurcut Pet Parlor, the dog comes back with jingle bells and a bag full of dog treats. I was a little insulted, since I've been raising Preston Jewish all this time. Kendall's thing is to do "themed" dog grooming. For Independence Day, Preston came back with a flag bandana. No such treatment when Preston goes to Steve's Dog Laundry.
Heating and air conditioning in a box. The tall one is the variable speed air handler. That's the thing that blows hot and cold air through the ducts. The squat one is the heat pump unit. Which is a reversible air-conditioner. When I want heat, it runs in reverse and takes the heat from outside and brings it inside. No gas pipes, no vents through the roof. Me, I'm plenty gassy and I vent and fume a lot.
Bituminous membrane. I spelled that right on my first try. Think of it as giant duct tape for the roof deck.
Hello living room.
And this is the other side.
Creative duct hiding between the floor joists.
And into the guest room where it makes a left turn and through the closet.
Where it stays out of sight until...
It emerges in the bookshelf. How's that for creative hiding!
Here's the medusa that runs everything. No cheap duct tape here.
