Today the outside outlet GFI decided to quit on me. I had another on hand. I've found I always need to have one extra. I'm going to wire a few more things. So I bought a 14-3 extension cord. Oh and a cheap TV! Everyone asked where was my window so I got one. Now it's where's your TV. Now some other changes and ...

My friend gave me a used shelf/ counter and folding wall brackets. It's warped bad so I made some supports. I like it!

So with a "new" shelf comes a Remodel! Still planning, it all out. Portable AC moved back and shelving about 8". Opening up some storage in vee. I was just moving to get wiring ideas but liked it. More aromatic cedar too! I'm going to add a ladder to loft bed.

Be careful... I was talked into painting one room of the house a while back, and it all ended with painting everything. Same thing could happen here. LOL :-)

I hope to take my CTC to the sugar bush to use as my base while I'm cutting firewood ! Ok well I'm going to try to cut & split my own firewood, see if my body can do a few hours. I had my last day of PT. I mentioned my plans to my PT therapist. She suggested trying an hour or 2 morning then rest then 1-2 in afternoon. Ok that's another lie. She said since I was going to do it anyway I should try splitting up the work. (No pun intended).

Been busy so I've got nothing done. And it looks like my free wood isn't free anymore, so no base camp needed. I winterized my moms trailer, she's been to busy to use it. I added air bags to my pickup yesterday. They aren't necessary for it but are for me. I have an issue with 4x4's that bump curbs and sag with a lite load. So I lift them. But finically I can't right now. But for less than 100$ I got air bags for the rear.

I put airbags on my old pick up truck and they made a huge difference when towing anything substantial. Without a load however, it was necessary to let some air out as the stiffness and bounce was very noticeable to me.

Living in Florida, I never give much thought to winterizing things... but I guess it is getting to that time of year for you folks up north. Stay warm!

Yep 67 in my house right now! High's today are going up near 80 that's high for us this time of year!
The air bags are a "first" for me. I usually have 3/4 ton or more pickups! I aired them last night to 10. I haven't drove it with air yet. I put them in then rushed to Dr appointment. And returned some lights that didn't work out for my CTC. Was a good idea just too cheap of lights. When I got home I aired them to test then aired them to 10lbs- unloaded, haven't driven it since

Bathroom fan and lights. I just need a clever way of attaching the fan wires. The computer fan is suppose to be water resistant, but I don't see any conformal coating like ad stated.

I think you could get some white heat shrink tubing to enclose the wires and to make the wire blend in with the white background and then get some adhesive backed cable tie mounts like the ones in the link to hold the cable down with tie wraps.
