Frivolous At Heart

Got the itch plus I was bored. Up in Pennsylvania visiting the girlfriend and didn’t feel very secure without a deadbolt. So I installed one.

Made this potty for pepper. She can go outside by herself – she’s an inside doggy.

Updated 06/30/2012. It’s raised up for better drainage. Works great!

My weekend wasn’t very cool. It was HOT. My neighbor below me was either cooking or spilled gas in their garage and my AC unit was sucking air in from the garage and into my house. I do not know why or how these complexes passed inspection but fresh air from OUTSIDE and inside your home should be mixed into your your AC unit and circulated into your home. They didn’t have that. The complex had air sucked in from the ceiling and any open crevices available. I thought I had a freon leak so I turned my AC unit off for the entire memorial weekend. OMG it was so HOT. Next time I’ll call management and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to call the popos.

My Freezer does not come with racks. Odd isn’t it? I stash my frozens all over the place and come to needing something, IDK where the heck everything is at inside the box? My solution?

I have finally downloaded the facebook app for my Palm Pre. Been waiting for more than a yr though I haven’t really periodically checked to see if there was an app for it. Tonight I did. Downloaded and now I’m just loving it. I don’t use it much. I only use it to bug the gf 😉

My battery door for the pre busted too.. 20USD later and now I have a new battery door. Feels like a new phone now. I don’t have to worry that the battery will fall loose and kill my phone mid convo! Don’t know why I never got a replacement until this very time gRRR! I’m a happy camper now!!! Flying out tomorrow morning!

I’m five minutes from school. I love the fact that I can sleep in a little and if I do wake late, I could take a superman shower and head to school and not even be late 😉 Rent’s a little higher b/c I have a garage but hey, who gives a rat’s booty 😉

Came home a little early to setup the new home to my likings. I finally have some free time to write on my journal. I wish I could update this more but school is a little hectic and life passes by so fast. I can’t even finish my coffee at times let alone blog!

I’m so happy for the new semester I’m going to hit the ground running once it starts!

I made a frame for my generator today. Started but not finished. I only framed up the bottome portion of the cage and put wheels on it. I’ll finish when I have time. I drilled holes to mount the generator and I fudged one hole (2mm deviation). I’ll fix that later as well.

I really need a work table… Too bad the garage is darn small!!!

Here the brackets for the 1/2 bolt for the wheels are seen welded onto the frame.

The wheels are installed as shown for mock up purposes. It’s much easier to move around already!

I needed to clean off my generator I purchased and I wanted to sit it on the Oil Catch Pan I use to collect my used oil for recycling. Only problem is that the generator weighs a ton compared to the oil pan which is made of plastic. So I made a brace over the oil plan to allow things to be set right on top of the pan and drip right into it. Did some quick welding and used the band saw to cut out some steel 🙂

I recently purchased this generator off of some guy who had it sat for 1yr. He said all it needed was gas. I brought it home, cleaned it a bit, did some research and found out that it’s discontinued (like most things anyhow). I can’t complain for 50USD. It starts up fine and does produce AC. I need to work on the engine a little and build a mounting frame and put some wheels on it later on.

I recently purchased a metal band saw for 45dollars. It’s made in 1985- that’s 25years old! Way older than all my boogers might I add! The bearings were going bad on it (after 25years) and so i replaced them with little fuss.

When I did purchased the saw, I found out that the saw blade was installed backwards hence it was cutting with a backstroke which dulled the blade real quick! The owner gave me a rusted up blade and said it was no good- I put it on anyways and it cuts like butter! Now I need to bring this to a machine shop to grind the blade adjuster so it will cut true. For 45 dollars, I’m not fussing…
