... Yeah, it's a lot. Notice that none if it touches the 3rd floor "to do" list. Will try to do that late at night if anyone is interested in flinging a hammer, running a miter saw, and doing some electrical (new, existing, and relocating) work.


Big thumbs up to all who have helped so far. Still fighting the county on my plans for a porch with hot tub. Might have to just do standard decking and not have the hot tub recessed at this point, but would still prefer a freestanding arbor of some sort.

 

My offer is still on the table...

Just need contact info and what not. This weekend would be great.

 

PM sent with contact info. Heavy thunderstorms moving thru now, but still lots that can be done on the inside!

 

Growley knocked out projects 1 and 3 and earned quite a bit of loot! Thanks again for the help! There are now 5 trees planted in the front yard.

Strange's up near Performance Autosport has some really great prices on their trees (20-40% off) and Kevin (one of the mgrs there) let me have a few bags of mulch at steep discount because they were ripped. Can't load a ripped bag of mulch into the back of a Mercedes minivan but they fling into the back of a pickup truck quite well. We also added some dirt to a place just south of Ashland by the highway. Someone needs to check that place for bodies!

 

If you were closer i would of done the cat 5e and the coaxial connections....after all it's what i do for an living..hell..for the right price you could get fuckin fiber ran

 

For my network needs, Cat5e is enough for the moment, plus I can swap the connection for POTS lines. Have 3/4" conduit running throughout to more than 50 low voltage boxes on the first two floors alone and four 2.5" trunks from 3rd floor to crawlspace to accomodate future wiring needs.

 

A friend of mine who helped with the fence is building a multi-level pressure treated deck with 16 post holes. Renting a two wheeled massive auger this Saturday to drill the holes and he plans to stake out the rest that weekend as well if anyone is interested in using some big equipment. Same auger I used to drill my fence post holes.

 

to Richard. You guys are really missing out. I would be doing more for you Richard but right now i'm in the middle of getting a job among other things.

 

It sounds like that house should be quite a site. i need to get by there and check it out Something about conduit and cat5 run thru a house still excites my inner geek....
