What R you doing today?

Latest project is painting the sunroom adjacent to the kitchen, reglazing the full-view door with new glass and flooring it with LVP. I built this room in 1995. Could not believe it took two gallons of white "stain blocker, primer included" ceiling paint to make the ceiling one shade of white – and I was painting over white! Couple walls to go, then on to the door repairs, then the flooring. Then a trim upgrade around that doorway. Had to get some deck time in this afternoon, it is 75 degrees out. Last Thursday, it was 28.

Just spent a morning in the attic, stapling up hardware cloth over the ridge vent where starlings had been getting in. The contractors who did my metal roof cut a vent slot up there but didn't put any blocking material in. I'm a bit long in the tooth to get up on the roof and pull the ridge and put it in, so I blocked it from underneath. The starlings had built a 3-foot high "nest" pile of straw. Quite impressive; it took 4 trash bags to get it all packed and hauled out. This afternoon, more caulking and painting on the sunroom project – after a break!

Well, I just got through rolling around on the floor, uninstalling my high-dollar dishwasher to be sure neither the supply line nor the waste line had leaks. Nope. Pushed it back in the hole for now. I got 2 months out of it and it is leaking The leak alarm went off yesterday. Dried the pan and tested it for a cycle, sure enough water was there again.

This is why I was so pissed when Costco delivered it and then said they wouldn't install it, because what if there is a problem. Now, I will either have to reinstall a new one they supply, or reinstall this one after a repair person comes. We'll see what happens on Monday. But I am damned sure my connections are not leaking.

Under edit: So, the Costco rep tried hard to channel me to GE repair. I told her, it was delivered 12/28, that is only 2 months. She kept pulling 12/17 out of thin air. Finally got her to say, well you are within our 90-day exchange period, so we can replace it for you. Good! That's what I want and expect. I still have to install it but I don't want to screw around with a repairman. Sheesh. >pfhtt!< Ahhh, Rolling Rock!

Got home a while ago from a 480 mile, 8 hour trip. We got to meet our grandson last week, and spent an enjoyable few days with our son & DIL.

I've had enough fun for one day.....

I will expect to see something special in the “What’s in your glass” thread later today.

You don't have to go that far. We got takeout from a favorite place -- my wife got chicken Pad Thai and I got a Nigiri platter ... after stopping at Harris Teeter and buying a bottle of Ginjo Sake.

I should have purchased 2.

I bought the Bosch 300 from Costco. Had free install. But not easy. Thankfully the installer allowed me to do a few quick remods (I had to remove some of the wood floor drill a bigger hole.). Not an issue since.
