Dog Fence

Fireplace Refresh

Firebox ceiling tiles replaced (thanks Nick), and door-gasket repaired (Nick again, w/ touch-up by Ted) ... firebox working much better.
Still need to replace thermal switch (non-functional), replace blower unit (burned, noisy, out of balance), & make sure air-intake isn't clogged. Should also call a chimney sweep someday (every 10 yrs is a good idea, it's approaching 20).

Barn Update

For 20 years, the critters have made the barn a cozy home ... full of mouse-poop and torn-up family-stuff. It's well-past time to fix this, so here's the work-list:

  1. Add concrete floor to main-barn, and both side-wings. Create narrow-footing to act as gopher-barrier.
  2. Seal up all sides, and screen-off the top-cap
  3. Repair ceiling insulation
  4. Add more lighting to the ceiling ... at least 4 fixtures.
  5. Add wall outlets along 3 solid-walls. Expect this will require adding another breaker to the sub-panel.

Car Lift

2- vs 4-post lift? Manufacturer? Placement w/in Garage?
