handyman-ness

[IPA4Me]

I installed a steam humidifier today. Didn't blow any fuses or cut myself. Plus, it works!

Had my handyman bro install my over the stove microwave.

Just replaced the garbage disposal in under 2 hours, including making a 2nd run go Lowe’s for fresh plumbers putty, without a hint of getting frustrated.

Replacing my garbage disposal was easily a top 3 handyman moment of my life. It was extremely satisfying.

It’s right in that sweet spot of appliance/takes tools/some electrical but everything should fit together without worrying about appearance. It’s a project, but not an all day, and at the end something that was broke now works.

#2 and fiance helped meema upgrade front flowerbed today.  Extended it around the corner and replaced edgers with flat ones.  Sherman and Tater got some wrasslin in.

nice work

Well poop.  This isn't what I wanted to hear but perhaps what I needed to hear

I'll 2nd, 3rd, 4th the previous responses.  If the shower pan is not done correctly, it will cause serious issues down the road as well as cost more $$$.  In addition, tile work is a huge pain in the ass and if you've never done it, a vertical shower wall is a tough place to start.  You may have to wait awhile, but I would definitely defer to the pros on this one.

Not sure if they are all like this but my kitchen has a plug-in for the garbage disposal so I just unplug the old one when it dies and install the new one. Agree that it is a satisfying project.

Outcropping, you went to far in exposing the satisfaction of this handyman-ness.

How hard would it be to put a cut a hole in an interior wall and put a door in it?  Could probably learn how by watching a 20 minute YouTube video, right?

[yoga-like_abana]

They’ll convince you that you’ll have it done in an hour and a half and just one trip to Home Depot.

Depends on the wall but probably a 3/7 on difficulty

[star seed 7]

There's a good chance that you'll have to reroute electric and then patching the wall can be tough to get right

Finish around the electrical wire that is currently passing through your soon-to-be glorious new doorway.  It should be about 18"-20" above the floor.  You can easily step over that. 

If you don't have power on that wall, it is super pud unless the wall is like brick or something.

[Institutional Control]

There is no power on that wall.  The door is going to be in a closet and it leads into the attic above the garage.

Now you have my full attention. Are we talkin like a secret passageway? Dongs? What are we talking about, here?

[Institutional Control]

Mostly for additional storage. And then an office some day.

My wife would like to hold on me busting a hole in the closet and have someone put these doors by the outside of the closet.

You have to get creative when you don't have a basement

Basement bathroom remodel. Thank goodness the original almost 100 year old pipe was solid as a rock

Yoga, how long did that take you?

Probably 2 1/2-3 hours. Concrete saw is pretty amazing (minus the fumes even with water). Cut it out where I needed it then some smaller sections so hauling and breaking it out would be easier. Took the sledgehammer to it and hauled smaller pieces off in 5 gallon buckets. Then dug the dirt out where I need to put the vanity and shower line. The rest will take a lot longer

Yoga, how many bodies are you planning to bury underneath the concrete, and why did you murder them, you sick SOB?
