cool toys brings drama sometimes.

what kind of fan? small 12v supply, fuse link, toggle switch mounted somewhere, and the fan lol. Could go variable speed with some relays and volt control.. Get real ambitious could do a series of computer fans that have lights and could run a remote turn on and off as well.

We bought 2 D cell battery fans to mount to the stroller to keep our little man cool when we go to Disney World next month.

The partial kitchen floor repair turn into a pain. Saturday Lexie went to do laundry and the washer died. So she got a new Electrolux washer and dryer. Since I had to pull the old ones out, decided to go ahead and replace the osb with plywood. Awhile back the shower valve that was replaced 10 years ago leaked and destroyed the sheetrock behind the washer and dryer. I had ripped it out a while back. Since I had to buy plywood gor the floor got the sheetrock to finish that up.

Had to buy new shutoff valves, hoses and facuet for the sink. New P trap New washer hoses. Since the dryer has a steam option had to buy a hose for that. The Y connector that came with it leaked.

This will be like all my other projects do a little at a time.

I had planned to spen 150 ended up spending 350.

Still need 5 more sheets of plywood, two more cabinets, countertops, floor covering. I do all the painting just before we move

I know how home projects go, the 500 dollar wood flood in the living room cost me almost 2 grand.

Except for the icemaker there is no other plumbing in the kitchen.
The water heater is between the kitchen/ bathroom and our closet.
That will be a separate project all together.

Yes they did. We got a 390 excavator in for the company that is tearing down the old falcon stadium. Man that is one big machine, so big it had to be shipped in pieces. I guess we are going to Hawaii next year. Daughters boyfriend is in the Air Force and stationed in Pearl Harbor.
