Let’s hear it. No project too big or too small.

I need to tighten the bolts on the kids toilet, lol. Otherwise just running a ton of errands (none DIY-related).

That reminds me I need to take a look at the flusher on my toilet. It’s being intermittent

I’m in the process of destroing an old, out of service fireplace, to rebuild a fake one with an electric radiator.

The chimney hadn’t been swept before it was taken out of service, and now I know how much I hate tallow.

I’m going to attempt to fix my truck’s air conditioning. Of course it waited until the weather was sweltering hot to stop working. I know just enough about refrigerant systems to be dangerous, wish me luck!

If that’s successful and/or doesn’t take all weekend, I’m going to try to build some temporary screening around my tiny back porch to give me somewhere to sit outside away from the mosquitos.

Yeah, that side is more my speed, too. I built an arduino based compressor controller a few years ago when that went out. But this is something internal (high side pressure pegging the gauge 30 seconds after the compressor engages).

Took it by a friends shop to get it evacuated today and they agreed that my amateur assessment (dryer and expansion valve) was where they would start first. So I’ve got a bit more confidence going into it. Fingers and toes crossed I don’t find a bunch of metal inside.

Recoating a fire pit with high heat enamel. I was dumb, bought a new fire pit without a cover and it got suuuuper rusty. I almost had it finished when I started yesterday but luck would have it I ran out of paint for the last coat.
