We tore off enclosed porch early March so a masonry restoration contractor could clean the brick and repoint the chimney mortar above flashing...at that time, I cut off porch light conduit and put in a GCFI plug to use there for saws, etc. Today a real electrician (Lol) rebuilt everything back to code. GCFI outlet with bubble, another switched outlet on top for rope lighting and 2 boxes to mount 2 exterior LED's on order...
Electrician also added 2 circuits to garage box, threaded two 12-2 wires through the A frame to 2 garage walls, one for a light in a small storage shed and this one for wet bar rope lighting...
7 circuits out of garage box already.
primered 2nd coat on ceiling going downstairs and stained more paneling for walls there...another good day.

There's nothing more joyous in life than a well labeled breaker panel. "Well sir, nothing says pool pump in here. So Imma just start shutting shit off."

Been priming my snowblower parts for the last 6 hours. I forgot how much hand painting lots of small parts sucks. Tomorrow should be paint, Safety red, the augers are going to be black with white blades, and I think I'm putting flames on it. .lol
It's a beast of 1971 Toro. I started restoring it last fall. Sandblasted all the sheetmetal, bought new gears, seals and bearings for the gear box, new tires, belts, etc. I treated the metal with phosphoric acid after sandblasting and man did I fuck that up. I put it on too heavy, never rinsed it off then stuck it in the corner of the garage. Pulled it out Monday, took me two days of retreating with acid and scrubbing to get a decent surface. .live and learn. Now I just have to remember how it goes back together. ...

did a few jobs.. but my last job was awesome. water heater and the home owner was reaaaally cool. he had a guitar case in his basement so i asked what was in it. eric clapton signature strat, he let me tune it up and plug it into a pretty nice amp.. that guitar was so badass.. so smooth. i asked him how much, he said he got more work he needs done and i can trade work for it.. super super excited.. ive been wanting this guitar for a long time. and the work he wants done is real simple shit, some faucets and an outside valve. definitely worth it to me.. the guitar new is 1600 bucks

Went back out to the garage for a couple hours. Drank a little, cleaned up, gathered all the parts for the gearbox, it's amazing I remember where stuff is considering I'm blazed all the time, and buzzed half the time, and I might not touch it for months. Except I can't find the red paint. No idea where that is.

No. .lol, but I did manage to get primer(oil based) on the glass I was drinking out of and then got it on my lip. Tried washing it off with soap and water but it was drying already..fyi...mineral spirits taste horrible.

I've also modified the motor a little. ..raised the governor speed, straight piped the exhaust, made a intake stack and readjusted the carb. When it needs a rebuild I'll warm it over a little more, shave the head, polish the ports, maybe a cam. ..all that old equipment has real bad ass power too, none of that pussy safety shit on it

I did it guys, 3/4 of the grass has been cut, and I made it back up the stairs without my cane, as well! 
I gassed up, had the headband in check, and busted out the entire front yard, side yards, and most of the back in just under an hour going top speed & one-handed.....I'm getting reasonably proficient at swinging this mower around like a rag doll. I hit one of the boy's rubber chews and it SHOWERED the yard with pink scraps, hehe.
Now time to ring out my shirt and get a niiiccceeeee shower.

No work due to shitty weather. Smoked a couple bongs, got a few beers in me. Girlfriend wanted a shelf built for her stupid cat so the dogs stop eating her food. Did that. About to go out back and try and clean up this crazy lumber pile I got going on. Need to work on my mower but fuck that right now. Might just smoke another one and not do none of that shit.
