Maybe at the week of Thanksgiving – our fence gave it up to wet/rainy environment and lay flat ๐ฆ so as a bandaid – did a quick repair. The problem was two post got rotten and twisted (because of weight of fence) so had to do some attachment to hold the bars tight and dismantled every piece and kind of reconstructed. Still looks ugly but at least it is standing ๐
Finally after buying the 220V split, extension cord, and charging kit with poking a pass thru holes on wall, (This was tough as small wall had lots of electrical wires behind it) but now I can charge the car at home.
Gone thru a long journey with long existing problem ๐ The bath tub handle at this house was a bit shaky since we bought this house like 8 years ago – required occasional forced pushing with hex.
However, this year finally we reached the moment further pushing in the handle didn’t work any more (as the housing plastic part became bended and even broken) – because we have more forceful (& also less careful ๐ ) users in the house breaking the handle every day – so finding the parts and finding the right place to order was a journey
Luckily Moen who was the manufacturer of this old handle still have a good system like upload a picture and they will tell what it is – Amazing ๐ but since this is too old and not a regular item to fix finding the part was hard ๐
As this is old version, finding the part requires going thru less generic sites and the price had wide variations like 15-75 dollars ๐ but this time found a deal at totally unknown zoro.com so tested the luck. (and failed hard as the order to delivery took 1.5 months and multiple emails)
Finally no more dings on the tubs is expected – so now I need to find a way to patch the dings on the tub
Finally – and unfortunately – had a chance to apply California Wall Patching – which I have seen in many Youtube home repair videos – at my home.
Until now, all the drywall repairs I have made in various instances have been mostly with simple spackling fill. While this time our big guest made a two-fists wide damage and the broken pieces were not reusable at all so I decided to use new drywall board pieces with California patch which connect paper part and board gaps with joint compound.
As usual, things have been always more difficult than video but finished the first portion of repair – now I need to sand and apply the texture then paint it again – so I wondered whether I should smile or cry… ๐
After having ghosting cabinet one or two doors for years and now the count reached total four, so I decided to dig thru to solve the problem.
Definitely not easy thing to start as identifying the broken piece in this small but delicate fine mechanical system was not easy.
Finally after adding my laboring on top of some Youtubing and Amazoning finally all doors’ ghost disappeared. And felt so funny to realize the fact that peace of mind has come from the cabinet door stay closed and firm ๐
This has been in the check list for the long time but finally changed to new & black door knob as the closest door also changed from gold to black. ๐
Now question is what is the next one to change & when… ๐
