Yesterday the ceiling fan remote would not turn the lights completely off. It would dim them to an almost off position and then begin to brighten again. If the control button was pushed a second time, the fan would start and the light and fan buttons are not connected. Frustration was getting the best of me and then I thought, "YOUTUBE!!!" And there was an explanation of how to correct the issue. It was simple fix to reset the programming of the remote. Cost - 0 .
I didn’t know anything about setting bricks until I watched a couple of YouTube videos.
Dang, those are the same type of speakers my husband brought home from Vietnam in 1970!The only thing that kind of sucks is that I no longer have room for these old speakers. I guess it's time to accept that they are a bit too big for a garage so limited on space.....
That's a nice little cabinet/workbench.A buddy of mine is moving, and he has this "work bench" (I think it's actually some kind of table designed for restaurant/kitchen use) that he didn't want to take with him to his new house. He offered it to me for free, so I decided to take it and see if I could make it work in my little 10x23 garage.
This was my old setup....
I had this "bar" type of thing that I was using as a workbench, but it wasn't very functional as much more than just storage. So away it goes.....
New bench in place and a few things rearranged. Already feeling MUCH more "ergonomically correct"....
Starting to come together.....
Still some work to do, but so far I am a lot happier with the new setup. The new bench/table is a lot more usable than the bar, and everything on this end of the garage is now easily within reach.
I made open baffle speakers for my garage which are speakers on a board 2-3 feet away from a wall; it turns your garage into a speaker box (they sound better with the garage door closed). They hang from the ceiling out of the way. You loose bass but gain "sound stage" (creates imaging, you can hear each of the 4 speakers even when you are in front of one). The yellow set one is 12", 3-way badly designed speaker built a long time ago, they turned into much better garage open baffle speaker. The other set is a set of old Advent 2-way speaker that got a second life. My decades old, first good stereo got pulled out of the attic and returned to service.
It is a dark art. There are a bunch of tools out there to calculate things but speaker component manufacturers don't always provide all the relevant data (you need specialized equipment to measure speaker parameters). My open baffle project was simple, just mount speakers I had on a board and see how they sound (I did a some research about open baffle speakers) - I got lucky and they sound pretty good. I did replace the cross overs with off the shelf components and I replaced the woofers in the Advents.
Awesome job! Looks great. How do I place my order?

Burnnnn!
We have one similar to those that we hang on the end of the camper awning when the sun peeks under it. The fabric on the awning that I have to replace has a 4 to 7 year life span mostly due to the weight restrictions and wear from being rolled up and down repeatedly. I've thought of having one custom made but after I got some quotes I rapidly changed my mind.
Sunbrella is the best outdoor fabric for awnings, umbrellas, cushions, etc.
We use it for other applications but it's not practical to use on the RV. We would have to replace the entire system to an item specific one for a total cost of around $3500. I'd rather replace the original one every 5 to 7 years for $250. When doing things on my own I have to be aware of the wife's noggin bonker.
That's a good idea and looks like it was factory installed. My awning is only 14' and I still have to keep an eye on it. If it looks like I need it next year I'll install one of those.Installed an awning support on the RV today. The awning is 20' in length. Had one that long before that began to bow after years traveling down the highway and supporting snow/ice weight in the winter. Wanted to get it on there before it saw too many miles or it's first winter.

It was only possible to get it done so quick because of this new poly I purchased. Less than two hours of drying time before sanding and reapplying. Drastically speeds up the process over their older formula. This one is also water based allowing for quicker cleanup. More expensive but worth it.
On to a couple new sets of cornhole boards.

I don't think that is for outdoors. I'll get that info for you though.
Here's a few links to three different finishes that Home Depot sells. A couple of these are two-packs but it'll give you an idea of what you need. Drying time will be longer but it's not that much longer really.
The tables are "outdoors" only in the sense they are on my East-facing covered deck. Only the early morning sun and very little rain --
I just hit it with the sander to round it off. I don't have the bit that you're talking about.
Just caught this, what throne did you get? My brother installed a Cadet 3 recently. I think there's video's of it in action.Throne installed/tested.
