Final electrical walk through. Another sticker added to the box!! Passed with flying colors. Next is building inspector. I still need to build the banister this weekend. After that we should be good to go! Fingers crossed.

DIY canopy

Drove 4' rebar, Slipped 1/2" pvc over that, then slipped 1 1/2" over that. Tied junk off now driving 2x4 stakes into the ground. Had everything here except for 2 pieces of pvc. 10' tall pipe.
Good enough. Shade for people. 1st birthday party for the little fellow.

sandbox!

Just in case you haven't thought of it yet, build a hard cover for that thing!

I made a 6x6 sandbox for the kids and just covered it with a tarp when we were done. It became the neighborhood litter box in about a month. I just had to empty all 30 bags of sand, it was a very sad day.

I modified the boys room door a bit. Since we have a child still taking 2-3 naps a day we wanted a way to keep the door closed and the kitten out. Pem, the kitten, can open the doors no problem.

Rather than locking the door and opening the door from the outside with a screw driver I wanted something a little easier.

I picked up a magnet and some angle iron. Cut the angle iron down and glued it to the top of the door. I then glued the magnet to the jam.

Works brilliantly.

Project #362 #363 ****ters full.

Cheese and crackers, basement line clogged. Kitchen and basement crapper feeds into the same pipe. Poo in the basement.

Rent snake. Unclog drain. Now, I have to figure out how to get the crapper back in nice and neat. As you can see it's a cluster.
