I have a lot of Home Improvement tasks in progress right now. مواقع العاب The big one for the weekend is the 6 cubic yards of mulch currently waiting for me in a big pile outside. Its going to be around 90 degrees Fahrenheit both days this weekend so we’ll see how much gets moved.
This morning was the yearly John Deere tune-up on the mower.
He said we’re going to need new blades next year since we have a new lawn. New lawns are murder on blades apparently. The most interesting part was when he told me cleaning the mower is not a good idea. Leaving it dirty is best. A lot of people hose it off right after they finish mowing when the ball bearings are hot. The hot bearings don’t like the cold water and the water can get inside and ruin the pulleys. He told me a story about a guy who had 60 hours clocked on his mower and it was spotless. When he told the guy that his pulleys were shot and he should stop cleaning it, the guy responded with, replace the pulleys, I’m not stopping cleaning it. So basically keeping the mower dirty is a good thing and will help it last a long time. However what I do need to do is to scrape the underside of the deck more often to allow the blades to cut better.
Its finally to the point where we need to finish the indoor projects so that once it gets warm, we can focus on the outdoor projects. Today will be prepping the 2nd guest room for painting (removing furniture, laying plastic, prepping walls) and insulating the basement pipes. I bought the insulation weeks ago but never got around to putting it up. You can save up to per year by insulating your pipes. I’m a fan of that!
There was a change of schedule this week. The new TV came today. Its great. I’m watching a DVD right now. I can’t wait to get the HD box tomorrow and additional cables later this week. I should be in great shape by the weekend. This is fantastic. I love it.
Today ended in a very bizarre way. We started with a trip to the bookstore and ended up with a 52″ TV from Amazon. You can’t beat a upgraded model, $310 cheaper price then Best Buy, free shipping, no tax and $200 at NFLShop.
