Houses and Home Ownership

I’m still slightly regretting not spending the like $4k it costs to get that Husqvarna lawn robot:

But only slightly.

And here I thought I already saw all your wood.

I see nightmares of that thing running you down.

Manual pushmotor and goat forever.

I’m too mechanically adept to ever need to replace my 22" gas-powered push mower. They’d literally need to stop selling gasoline.

Buy a riding mower and slap a turbo on it.

My yard is literally too small for a riding mower.

Install a single fixed blade that you can spin up every week to mow it in one go!

There’s also this pile, which is not in the woodshed yet:

And then probably another 1/2 cord or more of various branch-diameter stuff that I need to break down.

And then there are 4 trees that still need to be cut up.

The above picture is the wood from 1.5 trees.

All I know is that come apocalypse time, I’m going to very proficient with axes.

Why do you people persist in refusing to acknowledge that goats are browsers, not grazers? You want a grazer, get a sheep. You want a browser, get a goat or a firefox.

It literally never occurred to me the goats and sheep ate different things.

Mate a sheep and goat and get a geep. Browser and grazer in one.

Because I’m trying to spread war-flame. (;

(also goats were on my mind, because my coworker uses hers to clear out her poison ivy)

We have power back to the sunroom!

The electrician couldn’t figure out why we had an open neutral in that room. Couldn’t find a junction box or damaged wire that would lead to it. Did find a whole lot of Exciting wiring choices though, and fixed those.

He wound up running off of the neutral for another circuit, bypassing the damaged wire.

Choice quotes include:

“Huh. That’s new.”
“All 3 lights are on. I have no idea what that means.”

But the lights work again.

Installing appliances is really easy compared to installing a floor. Just read the manual, and YouTube is your friend.
