…that’s going to be expensive. shout out to Verizon though for bury a fiber optic cable 2 inches into the ground. In an area that makes 0 sense to have it in.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a golf bag mounted to the back of a Harley until now…

Some doggo pictures for y’all.

Classic…. Advertise the ability to watch construction on social media… point 1/2 cameras away from the construction.

Pup enjoyed her first day at the beach on the bay side, she’s not a fan of the ocean and the waves there but was a huge fan of the bay, which is fine with me as this beach was dead empty at noon on MDW Sunday.

Ceiling is fixed, just needs to be sanded and painted. Debating on whether or not to remove the rest of the texture coat throughout the whole ceiling or try to replicate it on the new drywall

Lillies are starting to bloom, adding some nice color to the small bed out front.

Yeah I put flex tape on it yesterday to see if that could be a temporary fix until this morning as well as to “stop the bleeding” before the ceiling got too wet…. We see how that turned out. Covered the hole up with some brown masking paper to keep additional insulation from blowing down, I’m going to give it a day or two to make sure there’s no additional leaks and then it’ll be drywall time

Welp, that’ll make replacing the pipe easier…. Looks like I’m doing drywall sooner than I anticipated.

there’s saw marks on it… which makes no sense to me whatsoever other than someone being a complete moron. Ordered new piping from lowes earlier today (wasn’t about being in a 120* attic) for pickup tomorrow morning so it’ll hopefully be fixed by 10am at the latest.

I actually replaced the filter the day I did the walk through and closed. Also had a home inspection done and they missed the cracks in the pipes that are completely visible if you do more than a head and shoulder inspection of the attic… which they obviously didn’t do. Oh well, is what it is, I knew what I signed up for. Luckily the drywall repair should be relatively easy as it only effect 2 sheets, one of which has the attic cutout which is nice 90 degree angles. at the end of the day, I look at it this way,it’s not the AC system itself, just some white pvc pipe which is a hell of a lot less expensive

You are correct, it was not from either copper line it was from the condensate pump outlet pipes. Found two areas where it had been previously patched. Home warranty contractor told me he could be out Friday 🙄….. $85 in parts and tools later and I have a 8am pickup from lowes schedules.

Weird. I didn’t have to give them any of that, i believe I got it in 2021 so it’s possible they didn’t require any of that due to Covid.

I heard someone else say this recently as well, I don’t remember having to provide anything to get my real id, I actually did it online.

Yeah it’s leaking from the larger vapor line. I paid the deductible to have someone come out and do it because frankly, I just don’t feel like dealing with it. in the meantime I have a bucket under the line to see if the problem persists throughout the day today.

I’ll jump on the AC issues train. Woke up this morning to what sounded like my dog peeing on the floor, unfortunately it wasn’t. I’m not sure if the copper line is split going from the outside unit to the unit in the attic or if the condensation pump is having issues and it’s leaking down the line in the picture. Luckily the previous owner had a home warranty that transferred to me, $100 deductible to have someone come out and fix the issue. I could probably section the damaged line myself with a shark bite but I don’t have pipe cutters down here and by the time I would get all the supplies I would need, I would be close to the $100 deductible anyway.

It’s not a @toast21602level lawn, but it’s getting there.

Ok

Little more rounded on the left end and less pointy on the right end

Thanks guys, good to know about the mint, I had no idea it was that invasive and spread that easily. There is basil next to the mint but the basil isn’t looking too great. I’ll have to start figuring out a way to trim and dry the rosemary effectively, my shed is one of the plastic and aluminum build a shelf type deals so I’m thinking it’ll dry well in there upside down. It should come back every year, winters aren’t too harsh down here. PO had snapdragons planted that came back.

Previous owners planted peppermint and rosemary, anyone have tips on how to care for them? Do they even require any additional care? also have a rose bush at the corner of the walkway that overhangs into the entrance of the garage door that needs to be trimmed, I’ll take any tips or tricks you have for that so I don’t kill it as it’s a very appealing bush to the eyes.

Most likely due to the timing of the storm, can’t have kids on a school bus during severe weather. They’ll catch shit either way. “They dismissed early for no reason” “I can’t believe they made my little Timmy ride a bus in a tornado warning”

Late edit: except my neighbors yard, that’s a dandelion farm
