Cleaners just left, idk why I didn't hire a cleaning service earlier. We don't have an anti-handyman-ness thread so it goes here I guess

Seems like a brag about some stud thing thread thing, to me.

I thought about it but figured almost everyone here has a cleaning service because  :kstategrad:

Good point. Could go in the Shame Yourself thread that you're only now getting a housekeeper.

Smoke box rusted out where it bolts to the frame.  I don't have a half dozen smokers like our resident pit mASTer nor does my skill set or smoking frequency justify a new one. 

Looked for a replacement box then decided to farm engineer the crap out of it.  A few rivets and bolts should be good to go for the fourth.

That is way to fancy for farm engineering.  I expected a large amount of JB Weld.

Installed.  A little splash of high temp paint and good to go.

Finally knocked out the last planter on the 2 year new patio project.  Had a gabion basket left from a farm project so modified it into a planter.

Mrs.Hamburg just bought herself this lathe for the garage. She’s getting 220 installed in the garage for it soon.

Intrigued to see what Mrs. Ham turns on that beast.

They are cool plants but also huge drama queens. On hot days their leaves wilt like "Oh my goodness, I'm about to die, you must water me now!!!" About 15 minutes after they get watered, their leaves are suddenly perked back up and happy looking again.

i installed a new rachio series 3 sprinkler controller this afternoon and it only took me about an hour, any questions?

if you don’t have one, it’s pretty good

Did it come with a little camera to it so you could see what kind of gunk was down there?

no, just some little metal blades that didn't seem like would work but did.
