Almost 4 months since we moved in and now we finally have a bedroom! All new paint, new LVP flooring, reapinted and reinstalled the original trim. Just finished caulking it and will be touching up the nail holes tonight/tomorrow! Have 2 more rooms to floor then install trim in the master closet (finished painting this morning), the hall, the entertainment room and two bedrooms + closets. Doing the floors without any transitions for rooms was a faint pain in the ass but looks great and matches with the downstairs. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/114426/20851_jpeg-1041071.JPG |

It always starts on the first pull it just runs really rough the last year or so, smells like it is running rich. The inside of the carb was caked with funky shit... probably ethanol fuel combined with never cleaning it before. They have a rebuild kit on Amazon for pretty cheap with a new carb, filter, spark plug and gasket, but all I bought was a new gasket for between the carb and gas tank. It all cleaned up pretty well (other than the tube I broke). You must have the same linkage because I don't understand what the hell it does. There is no throttle adjustment or choke, the only control is the safety lever.  How a Briggs and Stratton Push Mower engine governor/throttle linkage is set up, and how it works.  Briggs and Stratton 10T502 Carburetor Linkage Not sure exactly which setup you have, but one of these should be close enough. I've found that these carbs usually have some itty bitty pieces of crud blocking some passages that needs cleaned out, or the gaskets are worn out and letting air flow where it ain't supposed too. Have rebuilt quite a few but have found that it is usually just as cheap/easy to buy a new chinese carb off ebay. Just make sure you get the right one. They usually come with the gaskets too. |

Wow, thanks for the videos. Mine is the 2nd setup as well. That's a pretty neat system.
I thought the whole assembly mounted on the gas tank was the carb. |

@faldoc are you going off of a set of plans or did you make them up yourself? Either way those look awesome! I use Rockler’s shutter wizard for the large rectangular ones, and adapt them to the windows with my own filler rails or hanger stiles to make them fit. I designed the curved ones and rectangular transoms myself. Not hard, just takes a lot of time and elbow grease. Rockler has some great jigs and parts which make it easier. I also get 5/4 fingerjointed primed whiteboard at Lowe’s and Home Depot which is quite good for the shutter rails and stiles. Makes it easier since 1” wood is otherwise hard to find outside of a custom lumber order. Accurate measurements and perseverance are key... |

Have I mentioned how much I hate drywall? Because every single screw, practically, was over driven. The wall was riddled with pops. Fix all of that, and if they pop again I won't know. I'm putting built in shelves, base cabinets, and a gas fireplace on that wall. Crown moulding will be going in next year as well. Will probably do something with the ceiling at the same time as there's pops all over it.
 Attached File Attached FileSanding everything down now for primer. This shitty ass contractor grade paint is terrible. Box fans and filters are doing a great job managing the dust. Got 2 of them going right now. Electric pole sander hooked up to a shop vac running a bag plus HEPA filter is a life saver as well. And don't even get me started on the shit show that is the entry arch into that room. It was really wavy at one point as was driving me nuts. I may knock the rounded pieces out and just have a large rectangle. |

Finished hanging 4 shutters I made.
They’re about 53” long, 15” and 16” wide with middle rails for added stability. I installed rails and magnets at the top behind the shutters for stops. I made the transoms last year. I still have to make rails with crank cutouts to fill the gaps on the bottom. Cost of materials for the 4 shutters was about $260. This is about 1 month’s leisurely work. Before:

Getting dark earlier these days so I only managed a crappy pic. Burning season is upon us, and after my first go around last winter I have a short wish list to make burning outdoors for heat more user friendly.
All summer long I’ve been getting pallets from a local company to dispose of. Life gives you lemons, make lemonade 
This building is made of all pallets and free used steel siding. Today with the help of a friend we threw together the second side. It’s 16’x20’ and my goal is to enclose the boiler to keep some wood dry and cut down on the wind in the cold season.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ForeverAWD: Pardon my ignorance, but how do you attach the vertical door pieces to the wall like that? I have several ideas for shelving using pieces perpendicular to the wall like that, but have no idea what the proper way to secure them is. Thanks for any advice. Looks great by the way! jacobsk The middle door panel is cut out around the rails, the panels on each end are fastened into the end of the rails. I attach them to the panels free standing, then trace the rails against the walls to find studs. Once studs are found I predrill for anchors and then before pushing it all against the wall I foam everything with great stuff. The foam adhesive really holds everything to the wall well in addition to the anchors through the rails. Then I drill and screw an anchor through the door panels down through the floor. Once the top is on, the combination of screws and foam adhesive make everything very rigid. |

Had to use a green kitchen scrub pad on the flame sensor for the first floor furnace yesterday evening, noticed it behaving wonky the night before. Went ahead and did the same for the second floor furnace as well. Wrote down the model numbers, to order spare ignitors, blower motor caps, temp control switches and flame sensors.
I always try to have parts like these on hand, and had such for the last house. Been in the current house 2 years now, but I only have picked up spare AC compressor caps and contactors. |

More drywall work
Removed all the old paneling in the family room. Lots of texture overspray and no mud work, so we've had to do all the joints and nails. I also ordered 2k sq ft of LVP for spring break. Can't wait to get rid of these carpets.  Attached File |
