My Turn - The Mega Dream Garage

[Hugh Heifer]

I found the TP-Link extenders are pretty good. Some versions alledgedly allow your signal to travel betwen extenders via your romex electric lines. We had a terrible modem/router in the Philippines and got a pair of them. It worked great to get us signal to a computer in our living room.

I got a couple of these on sale at W00T and put them up. They were pretty darn cheap. 84"
They really helped push some heat down on the few cold days we had.

I have been running one of those small propane torpedos to get the chill off. A 20lb tanks lasts me about 5 days or so.
Not a great choice but it has been working out.

That breeze from the fan has the TLCA flag stretched straight out!

I did the same thing with my gas fireplace logs.. the BBQ grill tank was too convenient so I just left it, for now. It too lasts about 5 days with a few hours on each day. I’ll swap it out come summer……maybe!

No more room at the inn....

Added some more junk on the walls.

Sorry about the lighting. I didn't have the overheads on.

Well - no time like the present. Getting new windows, house wrap and siding.

The house renvo is coming along great. Huge upgrades, I'm guessing.

Windows were original. 24 years old. Some were fogging and some were not sealing. New ones are low e argon filled and have way better efficiency. The siding was all chaulking and a few pieces were coming off. The house was not originally wrapped and the windows and doors were not taped or caulked. I suspect this will help some with heat and AC and prevent the house from rotting out from under us.

Yeah, I bet you're going to notice a huge difference in your heating and a/c bills. And, your house is going to look great (probably like a different house altogether) with the new siding and windows.
