COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Sooooo, a few weeks ago our wonderful Troy-Bilt Chipper/Shredder decided to have issues with the pull rope starter mechanism. With trees on their way down, we figured we better take a look and make sure it starts. Took a few nuts and bolts out, rope is fine, recoil is fine, but wifey found two small plastic pieces dangling from the flywheel.

Upon further inspection, a lifeline call to Troy, and we determined our Pawl Ratchets needed fixin.

Lucky for the internet, they are on their way.

If you are wondering what they look like..yep, two small el-cheapo plastic bits is what starts a 15 horsepower shredder.

I don’t understand most of it except for the fact that wifey was very clever. [emoji23]

And it’s a beautiful one...

@EllieMay You can spend a week or two putting together a new enclosure, just in case you end up with a redfoot...

He could go outside during the day and carried in at night for sleeping in a Rubbermaid. Until the heated house is up.
I did that forever until we built our heated house.

I bought a steamer to clean my grout and it’s back breaking!!
I loved the flooring we chose at the time, but now I hate it! It’s never clean because it’s natural stone so there are pits everywhere!!
I love the steamer though!!
I need to try it in other parts of the house.

That's what's really neat about them. They don't get fat on flies, they burn it off flying...But be prepared, if anything moves (night or day), the babies think it's mommy dearest. I love the sound of baby birds crying for their mom. Chimney swifts only take about 6 weeks to move on. But they are kinda loud while they're living in your chimney in your home...

I doubt chimney swifts are anywhere near as bad as a bunch of turkey vultures clattering around on a metal roof...

“Super Bowl Update”

Ok. This is about it for this “super bowl.” This piece of mahogany has been turned, stained, waxed and now buffed out. I placed it up on our hallway pedestal and took two pix, but wifey thinks we can place it better to capture “the look.”

So, in the interim, here are two quick pix.

It’s gorgeous!!

Try using a white background to make it pop like a light box if your going to sell stuff online. They are cheap.

AGREE

You are correct... I already did a mental checklist and could swing it pretty quick if I needed.... I’m trying to hold out until hubby gets tired of hearing me comment about it.. Our anniversary IS coming up [emoji6]

I’m so confused... it’s back breaking ... but you love it??? I’m asking because my grout is horrible and I need to do something... so should I look for what you have or look for something different??? I just have 16” tile but it’s pitted.. the grout just looks gross though...

I have spent half the day saving our Betta fish from death.
He looked poorly this morning so I cleaned his tank and he just went down hill. I’ve been researching and came up with Velvet. So I ran to the store and bought meds and I’m hoping for the best.

I don't know what a Betta fish is yet (I'll google it) but hope he makes a quick recovery!
