The Projects

The projects.  When city folks hear that, they think of infamous low-income housing complexes, often hotbeds of crime, illegal drugs and gang activity.  "Don't park your car in The Projects; it will get stripped or stolen."

I use the term to describe various tasks, of which there have been many in the last few months.  Too darned many.  I'm listing them here so I have a record of what was done and when it was done - which, frankly, is of little interest to anyone but me.  

RV Projects    
1.  Remove dead built-in microwave after 3 failed repair attempts by 'pros'.
2.  Build and install shelf for new microwave.
3.  Replace microwave electrical outlet to accommodate new microwave and light.


4.  Remove living room slide-out carpeting.  And staples, 100s of blankety blank staples!
5.  Reinstall furniture after new carpet installation.
6.  Install new dinette seating.
7.  Replace top bulb seal on kitchen slide-out.  The old one melted, cheap rubber, messy.
8.  Install backup camera on roof.  Pictured below, looking down from roof top.
9.  Apply sealing tape to roof areas that are likely to leak.  Also seen below.


Home Projects
1.  Replace broken irrigation riser.
2.       "       water softener.  Old one was leaking.
3.       "       water heater.  Same.
4.       "       garage door opener.  Old one was noisy and dropped grease on the floor.
5.       "       failed ground fault circuit interrupter in garage.
6.  Treat house perimeter for termites.
7.  Repair termite-damaged moldings and wall.  3rd infestation of the little bastards!
8.  Remove water-damaged wallboard on shower wall, install new backing, clean and reinstall tile.
