new house for mike

[M4wdFab]

did some more wood things with some left over hemlock

Ha.  Just did something kind of embarrassingly dumb.  Decided I had enough of all the random wires in my basement.  Phone, alarm, coax, fire alarm, randomness everywhere.  Cut it all out.  Gone. 


Came upstairs and realized my cable modem still uses coax to feed it. 

Oops.  Well ordered a crimp kit and waterproof connectors to splice the street line and run a new line to my room.  I guess I'll get to use some of the auction coax spool after all!


That was dumb.

Hahahahahahaaaaa

Been so close to doing same and haven’t for that fear. Stupid phone and coax all  over.

Android win for unlimited hotpot app.  Amazon says tomorrow for my parts.  All good.

I ripped it all out of my house.  I filled a Brute can with phone cable.

I ran some of that phone cable in your house 15 years ago, hahaha

[mr.mindless]

Too funny.

They seem not to have had any line converters or two line phones, there are two separate biscuits everywhere marked with two numbers or with shop/home. And I think two lines run to each.

Plus two directv things. I’ve chopped a bunch of that coax out. More to go.

back wired, that was easy.  power went out about 5 times on and off while i was running new wire, fun storm ripped through. 

Thats funny Ryan.  the phone stuff was actually tidy, and i didn't realize how much of it there was till i got into it.

The coax and alarm crap was everywhere.  its all gone.  have now one line come in to the house to a single junction block, where it splits to my room, and then sadly that goes back outside, up the side of the house and into the second floor.  I figure the second floor nonsence ill leave to another day- but at least i know how it works and how to run coax now. 

i have about a laundry basket full of wire on the basement floor.

[M4wdFab]

got an email about my usage, must be something with my thermostat

pretty neat

[M4wdFab]

30 gallons of kill green applied today to gravel and base of all structures, all poles. 

[etk300ex]

that seems like a lot

[mr.mindless]

indeed. I think I put down 2-4 gallons last year? though I do have plenty of things sprouting again now.

[M4wdFab]

i have a 15 gallon tank and i filled it twice.  i use the tractor supply concentrate.  works good.  way better than anything you can buy at home stores. 


cleans up gravel and cuts way down on trimming. 

[M4wdFab]

installed my dish washer today that's been in the box for 2 years in my dining room

haha

[M4wdFab]

first dishwasher run appears to have been successful in cleanliness and no leaks or suds on floor.



havent had a dishwasher in 20 years, kinda feels weird.
