I finally found bushings that fit the strikers on my 99 Ford Exploder. The front doors are much easier to open now. I also got new bushings (same dims) for the rear passenger doors, but they became very hard to open. Swapped the rear passenger back to the original striker bushing. The rear driver door on the other hand... will not open. #DIWHY

My kid's mini Mardi gras float is due tomorrow, and apparently so is everybody else's.The only hot glue sticks I could find last minute turned out to be too big for our glue gun...

The front fell off :( #diy #diwhy

Here's a #diwhy from a few months ago.

I needed to do some additional repairs to the plumbing bits up near the window shade, but the rented scaffolding had been sent back already. (I already did what I could by climbing down onto the windowshade from the roof, but there was more stuff to do just below.)

It worked out fine, even though these bamboo ladders aren't very good.

E-waste? Not on my watch!

Kitchen update: All the old flooring and underlayment under the West wall cabinetry has been removed, the cabinets have been put back in place with new plywood underlayment under them, and spouse is now removing the top layer of vinyl flooring and plywood from the open area.
Welcome to the 1960s:

I had this brilliant idea to use some boxed trellis for the wood shed gate to preserve airflow, but the amount of additional work I'm going to have to do to build it up enough to add the lock I want to use is making me question myself.

It's an alpha.

We have everything ordered except cabinet hardware (hinges, drawer glides). Appliances are ordered, but will be delivered when we’re ready for them.

I’m still waiting on stain/finish to arrive so I can stain samples of our cabinet plywood to see how it will look with the new flooring. The stains I’ve tried so far have not yielded the color I am hoping to achieve.

I know, my life is so exciting and glamorous.

I have just been informed by spouse that we can’t make the cabinets before installing the new flooring, because there is no space to put them once they are built, except in the kitchen.

But the old cabinets have to come out (at least temporarily) before we can install the floor b/c they are currently sitting on an underlayment that has to be taken out first.

Hoo boy.
