Screws In My Coffee

Today's goal was to get Sylvia's Car into the garage.  That meant that I had to finish up a few work bench projects and then move my stuff back into the workshop. I replaced the wooden peg board and and permanently mounted my Access Point and tool bar. At first I had the Access point here.  Then I moved it. I added my tool bar and moved the WiFi access point closer to the power panel. Yeah I know all about ethernet being too close to electrical power.  I will move it later. I got the drawer mounted and I built a rolling box for my power tools.  I got the inspiration for the rolling box from April Wilkerson .  I used a plastic tray that a mold contractor left at our house a few years ago.  I mad the plastic crate fit on to a lolling platform.  I can remove the crate and use the wooden dolly to move other items. These 2x2s allow the crate to remain stationary on the wooden dolly. Thsi is the wooden dolly.  I painted one end of ...

I bought on Amazon the WA-2608 and installed antenna this weekend.  I read the reviews for this product and I will admit I was skeptical.  I have a friend here in Albany where I live that recommended this antenna to me.   I trusted his opinion of WA-2608 and purchased the antenna. The box with the WA-2608 Here is Albany, Georgia there are three local digital over the air stations, 10.1 NBC, 10.2 ABC and 10.3 which was weather until a few weeks ago.  10.3  is now airing old westerns and action movies under the banner of Grit.  There was an old Winegard digital antenna on the chimney when I purchased the house.  It was mounted on a mast pole that also had a really old satellite dish on it.  I removed the dish and added the WA-3608. old Winegard digital antenna top view old Winegard digital antenna front view I had to make an adapter for the transition from the dish mounting to the WA-2608 mounting.  I went to Loews and purcha...

This weekend I am continuing the demolition of the master bathroom.  I finished ripping out the sheet rock from the closet.  I finished up day two by clearing out the shower door and the tile on the shower entry.  I was not surprised to find the first signs of dry rot on the wood near the floor.  Pictures and video of the work are below. Exposed wall in master bathroom closet.  These electrical circuits are in the powder room.  I will make them hot by connecting them to the new fuse I installed.

Massive header in the closet door.  Not supporting anything but the doorway.  No roof support is on this wall.  Not sure why this header is here.  Maybe it was scrap and the carpenter decided to use...

I finally got started on demolition work in the master bathroom in our house.  I had to install a Zip Wall to keep the dust out of the adjoining bedroom and house.  Then I removed the window in the bathroom so that I could throw all of the construction waste directly outside instead of tracking it through the house.  My plywood and 2x4 storm window works to easily open the window when I am working and close it tight when I am done. Here are some pictures before the work has started.  These pictures will be more dramatic when they are compared to the finished bathroom. Back to window facing the sinks.
