Garage reno

Wait till some people go out and buy a 19 model and then find out that they are 4" longer than the previous years and they are to long to fit in their standard garage.

Yeah, I'd be pretty heated. we may start to see low profile bumper covers hit the market lol

Ugh, went to wire up my workbench outlets and it's looking like I have a screw through that wire somewhere, somehow. Luckily, I ran conduit for another line to the panel. Hopefully it's near the panel and not near the outlet. I thought i was super careful and made sure the screws were too long as well . Lines are stapled in the wall, so pulling a new line through with the old isn't an option either.

Doh!!

Doh!!

Sitting here debating whether I'm going to deal with it now or call it a day lol. I'm thinking I can cut it in the attic and run an extension cord from each half to some wires, then to the breaker to test each half out.

Didn't you put plates over the wires on the studs?

Sho did. Just triaged with the method I stated above. Extension cord to a GFCI outlet connected to the workbench outlet side. Those work fine and dandy. Issue is above the panel. Those were just stapled to the studs in the wall. Luckily I have that conduit from the panel to attic and can just pull another line and jbox it.

Just had the mudslinger that quoted me $500 come out and give a bid. He said $600, not including materials. I think he saw the slatwall and saw dollar signs...

Sod finally went in today and irrigation guy is wrapping up the controller connection now.

I hope your mudslinger doesn't come back again--it might go up another $100 LOL

I remember when we put our sod in--the "boss" and I did it on weekends and walked around stooped over for a couple of weeks---we only had 30 pallets. We were a lot younger then----LOL

Yeah, I let the company do it this time. A dozen central american fellas, two bobcats, one foreman. Had it knocked out in two hours. That's with waiting for another truckload of sod lol.

 

[Pull Ya]

That sound less tiring---LOL

Hahaha, I'll get to some pics tomorrow night. Just put 17 hours in today. Helped the irrigation guy correct his mistakes and wrap up, plus landscaped a couple areas. Whole family is coming over tomorrow for a shin dig. Got the robomower running too.

Great to here. Enjoy. Your fans await. LOL

Here's your pics... Didn't take extensive photos, but there's before grading, after grading, and after sod, plus some landscape pics. Kept the landscape simple and low maintenance. A couple of plants and rock.https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZpBx5uYy837Ez53v9

Thanks JW. Excellent. Looks like you had some rain. Did the drive way front entrance drain..

Looks pretty damn good--nice to have dirt in the morning and grass in the afternoon---

Less runoff due to the sidewalk, but the water shed from the driveway does take a bit to drain at that corner. May think about a strip drain or something. Don't really want to pull out the sod and mess with the sprinkler and mower line though

Oh and that wasn't rain, that was sprinklers. No rain yet. Haven't had any in about 2 weeks or so...
