I’ve done a terrible job and posting lately… my apologies… What can I say… busy… busy, I guess. Remember these fly and ski trips?? Sadly… I haven’t done one in a while. Of course, I was away and without an airplane for a while but now that I’m back. Nothing but poor excuses… very busy… [Read More]
Water Filter
This is a bad post for one of my friends. You know who you are – please stop reading now. I installed water filters on my house water supply line. I’m not a clean freak or germophobe but living for some years in my motorhome showed me how unclean water can be. The following is… [Read More]
Concrete and Plumbing
A few updates on the house project. The time had come to fill in one of the gaping holes in the master bathroom. The new toilet plumbing was in place and filled with stone. I didn’t pour concrete right up to the drain pipe – where it comes up thru the floor since I’m not… [Read More]
Fence Work Day at Bendit
A fence seems to be the topic of the month… Friends and I headed for Bendit early this past Saturday morning with the goal of a warm campfire, solitude, and a bit of fence work. Mission Accomplished! I arrived in the RV-4 first and got the fire going. Friends in their Carbon Cub arrived a… [Read More]
Fencing Trip
No… sorry… not fencing like sword-fighting. Fencing like barbed wire fencing. The snow is gone from the continental divide and I flew into Bendit last weekend to check the road and area. It all looked clear and dry so this past weekend, I loaded a whole mess of fence posts, a couple big 3″ square… [Read More]
Door Openers
In the MASSIVELY HUGE category… The hangar doors are now working very smoothly and are a push button operation!! After man-handling them for a few months, this automated operation is really swell!! Previously, the doors would mostly open to about eye level but then had to be pushed the rest of the way up –… [Read More]
LED Hangar Lights
The hangar at the bachelor pad had a good number of lights. None of them worked. Ok, almost none of them. There are four, eight foot long fluorescent fixtures and five, four foot long fluorescent fixtures. None of the eight footers worked, two of the four footers worked. That’s pretty close to ‘none’, right?? Something… [Read More]
Cottonwood Root Viper
Ever head of a Cottonwood Root Viper?? They are one scary beast! Known to grow up to fifteen feet long and three to four inches in diameter! Remember this photo of the tree roots that had grown into the toilet drain plumbing?? Ya – yucky! I decided to get to work on that drain plumbing… [Read More]
How many ways can I say destruction?
I have given the master bathroom a fair bit of attention lately. Deconstruction attention… The fiberglass shower/tub fixture was cut into manageable chunks and hauled out. Yes… more wide angle photos – please forgive the fish-eye shots. Yeah… I know… Nice gaping hole under the tub/shower. That was already there – not something I made…. [Read More]
Jack, the hammer, and Me
Last weekend, I rented a jack hammer for some real fun. I had a couple different projects for it but the largest was the removal of the pad that the wood burning stove sat on. I had previously taken a couple whacks at this thing with a sledge hammer and it was not moving. It… [Read More]
