What did you accomplish today?

Done and drinking a beer.

Don't be an idiot like me and let your dryer vent get clogged. I unfortunately have almost a 25 ft run so I really need to do regular maintenance which I haven't done for years.

Only an idiot would let their vent get to this condition so I'm feeling pretty stupid right now.



I paid for it though by crawling in the trenches. I could have just bought new ducting but I just cleaned the old out.

Under the house to take it out to clean and back under to put it back. It was a nasty situation. I won't use the words that I could to describe it. They're too profane even for adults.

Going in with apprehension




Putting it back together. This section really sucked. Had to crawl over a section of concrete and slither into a narrow channel.



Talk about the last thing you want to be doing. Decades ago I did insulation work for a very short time because of this crap. I hate crawlspaces. They don't scare me but it's just nasty work. And I still have to go back under and replace some pipes.

But I sleep good thinking about the money I save doing things myself. It probably would have been $500 if I paid someone to do what I did in a few hours.

Since the weather has been cooperating this week , I finally wrapped up my new indie movie , starring and directed by me ( including all stunts).My first film, " Quit Pinching My Nipple " placed 327th in 1986 Independent Spirit Awards, I think this new one may do well.

My crawl space is a mess with the insulation falling down. It floods about once every ten years and I finally gave up.
The good thing is that I don't have any water under the house and it doesn't flood here so it's not wet and no puddles. The insulation is starting to fall down which makes it really nasty but it's almost 50 years old. Just something else I need to deal with in the future. I'm pulling that crap fiberglass insulation out but am still deciding what to replace it with. Some of the options are spendy.

Spray foam is the bomb, but $$$.
