Welp, I tried out the expensive 3/4 horse that I thought would be marginal, and I was right. Then went and got the 1 HP blue bomb and it will work to get to the top of the hill, but still going to have to put in a 1/2 HP version of the blue one at the top to boost enough pressure for the house. Both together will be cheaper than the $500 automagical that was recommended to her. I'm calling it a win. Will deal with a housing, the 2nd pump, and fine tuning when I get back from Colombia next week 💦

So far, freeform jamming, I'm sure there is a cover I don't know in there somewhere.

Let's get warmed up amigos.
Rained out on the plaza across the street, our intrepid jazz musicians have booted the karaoke DJ and taken over the back room at the bar. The bass player is my neighbor. 🎼🎺🎸🎶

12 hr day so far, probably have another hour or 2 in me after a beer and some food. Removed cheap old dining room flooring, (saving for temp reuse upstairs), final set on base cabinets and dishwasher. Fitment of beadboard panels, ready for glue and nail after kitchen floor install, which is 1st thing in a.m. after coffee, just have to final sweep, vac, lay foam,and land the ez 2/3 of the kitchen. Then on to the dining room after moving the fridge and stove cabs back to K -- I hope. 🔨🪛🪚

Good Saturday morning all! Another work day. After finishing breakfast, I will head downstairs and continue installing flooring in the kitchen and the rest of the main floor. I always bite off more than I can chew. But when it looks this good...😋

Well, crap. Lucky Lizard has passed. I don't know if it starved or accidentally got stepped on on the carpet. I had guests. I've seen it two or three times in the last 10 days since I first saw it. I always picked it up and put it in a plant. Yesterday it was belly up.

Today my El Salvadoran labor showed up looking for work. I put him on reinforcing the chimney in the basement - had to chase cement, mesh, rebar & build forms this morning. Only got half a day in on repairing my cabinets but should be able to final them tomorrow and land the countertop. Also cleaned out my trailer and truck to reorganize all my crap from the last project I threw in the trlr B4 off to PR last time. I have way much to do in too short of time to do it but I will make it happen. 😅

Well it's been a bit since I posted. Been a bit busy. The kitchen rebuild is coming along. Waiting on flooring - Wednesday? ...or Friday? Upper cabs hung last night, base cabs set but not final yet. Have to trim windows and doors today and tomorrow. Always don't have something I need. I have a week to finish. The last pic is what it was. Oh, and the whole house is covered in demo-dust. I have guests checking in on the 7th, but I'm out of town on the 3rd. Yikes!

Well good morning all! While yesterday was kind of a punt, today starting out with a Lucky Lizard in the house.🦎 We had foot and a half of snow a couple days ago. I don't know where this one's been, but I put 'em in a pot near the window in hopes they thrive!

It was finally light enough for a pic of the back yard. Time for a nap - only 5 hrs sleep last night. Supposed to stay cold and snowy thru Sunday.

Happy Pi Day 🥧

Okay - she's all cleaned up and ready for a new floor. And walls. And ceiling. And cabinets. And...🙄

I remodeled this kitchen 10 years ago. At the bottom, how it started then. Followed by how it's started this morning and how it's going now.
Because of a water drip, insurance and overcautious abatement folks. There might be mold!
/sigh

Good sportsball morning to all who are excited to see this year's #SuperbOwl
