I'm finishing out the room over the garage now. It'll have a couple of beds, full bath, sink, and a small sitting area. It's 34'x16' to the short walls. Storage behind the walls. After the framing & roof I've done all the work myself so it's moving at a snails pace. The pine siding isn't my favorite but the interior of the old house was all pine so it's for nostalgia as much as anything else. I used the salvaged siding in the second pic to build a small room inside the garage below. I hope to have all the walls except the inside of the bathroom finished today. The plumbing isn't finished yet.

I'm building a new pedalboard for my acoustic guitar work.
My old one was approaching 20 years of age and I wanted to get an easier layout which meant either adding a section to the old one or building a new one from scratch. I began that yesterday. Attached File Attached File I got the pedals set up and tested to ensure everything would be easily accessible and made some new cables and then proceeded to cut and glue the board and the riser together. Next step will be to sand the glued seam flat so that the velcro material I glue on will have a good surface to bond to. |

Basement half bath sink ( porcelain pedestal sink) start cracking and coming apart. I replaced it today. One Problem the sink is 4 inches higher than the old sink. So I needed new supply lines and the drain is now higher and further away from the wall it is plumbing time
Did I say I hate plumbing with a passion? |

Attached File Started out as a pile of 1” square tubes. I suck at welding….. and not great at measuring, drilling or cutting…. But I’m happy with the results. Running the wires through the tubes was fun. Each light will be on a separate switch but that’s a job for another day. I’m pooped ETA: I might not be a welder, cutter or measurer but I AM a pretty good electrician 😎. All lights work perfectly and run off separate switches and circuits. I can run all 8 at the same time without popping any of the 10a fuses |

Minor project today was replacing the thermostat in the upstairs bedroom. The original was working last spring when we turned the heat off. When I turned in last week when the temp dropped to 28 degrees nothing happened. After replacing the thermostat I found the the negative end of the battery box had completely corroded off.
