Almost can start painting. Still a few more boards on front porch to replace. Ladies did great on garage door framing. Garage door company supposed to rehang garage door tomorrow pending replacement panel being available.
Interesting CFB yesterday. GA/TN, Notre Dame/A&M, Ga Tech/Clemson. MSST cleaned Alcorn State's clock 63-0! Road tripping next week to watch Northern Illinois and get some Little Dooey's bar-be-que.
Short week this week because of trip and what's left has filled up already!
Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
Glad you found yourself a painter that probably has some skills from working on his rentals. Instead of vinyl siding to replace the bricks over the garage going back in with press board looking siding that will have to be painted occasionally but will hold up better than vinyl to the weather.

Nothing new. Got yardwork done. Weather is comfortably cool, and I think pool season is over.
Pool closinf and opening are two seasonal things that suck. Up North here pool season is about two and a half monts, three at best even with a heater. Within the next week or two I'll have to vacuum the pool, clobber it with chemicals, remove the pump and filter, disconnect the heater and haul that stuff to the shed. Then winter cover and then leaf net. OK, it's not really that bad, but it still sucks :-)
Finally found someone to hire to paint the house. A friend who is on vacation next week took my generous offer. He had several rental properties that I know he did a lot of maintenace on, so I know he will do good work. Also the reason I offered much more per hour that I would of to the non existant neighbor kids who would like to earn some cash.
Good week to all!

Little positivity this week.
Week has been busy! With the "Ladies *****novate" redoing the framing on garage door. Sometimes the right "man" for the job is a wo"man". These ladies are some hands!
Cowboys lost Thursday night, but Mississippi State took the game back from Arizona State with a TD pass followed up by an interception to go 2-0. Imagine the noted alumni have broken out the checkbooks to contribute to the $250,000 fine coming for storming field after game. Eddie Robinson would be proud of his team, Grambling, for at least getting to the stadium. 70-0 ass kicking on the road is a shellacking!

Yesterday was a day at the Cleveland Air Show. All cool stuff, but absolutley love the jets and especially the Thunderbirds! Many years ago when I was an apprentice, I got to work at the hangar where they had the planes before each show. Up close and personal with the crew. I've been a fan ever since.
Today In laws over for a rib cook out and picnic. It's a beautiful weekend for northern Ohio.
Good week to all!

Think most of the loss was in snot from my nose and burning the calories to blow/hack same.
Yesterday opening day in college football! Thank you Ohio, Florida State, for toppling Texas and Alabama. Mississippi State had intrastate win against Southern Mississippi.
This week is going to be a large, hairy, spiteful woman type week. Major house repair project gets started and throw in some doctor appointments and the calendar got FULL!

Sears appliance tech is the one with estimate and was the person who put the first replacement on. According to him the compressors should have been 220v but to "make it easier on the consumer" they are 110v. Don't have to change the 220 receptacle or plugs out when you move. There is a transformer to up the voltage but they are too light weight for the task at hand. Compressor winds up not getting juice it needs. So he says. He stated to go as inexpensive as you can go and still get what you need/want. Stay away from the LG's, and Samsungs in particular. Anything without a computer what he recommended.

Summer has flown by fast. I have to say I've enjoyed every week. The warm weather for getting outside, and in season peaches are the best.
when I need extra help there are usually day laborers available but less now due to ice raids. There's no such thing as high school kids wanting to do hard physical labor around me.
Have a great week!
I'm hoping to find that person!
Your refrigerator sound like ours. 2 year old LG needed a new compressorlast fall. From what I read, they replace it with the same compressor that has known problems.
I have an old GE refrigerator from late 40's early 50's in my garage that is still running!

I don't care what part of the Country you are in - good help is hard to find!! Once you find somebody that does good work you keep them going as long as you can! If not next week, soon after, I have a WOMAN who will be doing the demo/remodel on the gable above my garage door. She has done good work for my mother and brother replacing wood decks and adding wheelchair ramp at Mom'. Either I've got a broken/rotted header, steel to hold the bricks was not bolted into header and she thinks the brick straps from wall into the bricks were left out. Regardless after 30 years the sagging and bulging out has gotten worse to the point I'm fearful it will all come tumbling down on its own. Not going back in with brick above door but siding. Lowe's is going to love me by the end of the year. Had to replace refrigerator this week too. Not going to drop $1400 to have compressor replaced on an appliance I already have replaced one on once before. X2 had to have huge ass stainless steel, French drawer freezer. New one is black, fits the space that was designed for a fridge and holds everything that was in the old one. Win-win.
Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!!
