What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[ZRX61]

Trimmed a skosh off both ends of the tailgate seat doodad, finished with a 3/8 round-over bit in the router, then spar-varnished the ends again.

This is before:




*After* looks just like that, but a bit shorter

 

[Burt Shaver]

This is completely disgusting, and now looking back I can’t believe I brought the old filter in the house. Changed the cabin air and engine filters on my sons 09 Elantra, daughters 09 Elantra and my 12 Mazda 2.

And the engineers ensure you have to be a contortionist to replace the filter and charge you out the ***.

No sense in making it easily removable like a furnace filter or air filter on an engine.

 

[Outlawmws]

or air filter on an engine

You haven't seen the Air filter on my 87 Toyota Mini van or the 95 Mercury Villager mini vans...

I can replace a door. My drywall patching skill ****.

We have a cat door in the door from the house to the laundry room. The litter boxes and cat bowls are in there. The dogs are too big to go through the cat door.

It works well for us.

I refuse to put a cat door from inside the house to outside, though. Woke up one too many times to a rodent inside the house and the cats playing with it. Rabbits make a gawd awful sound when they're being played with aggressively.

Tiny baby rabbits make a thin high pitched shrieking sound when the sweet adorable kitty has dragged them in through the cat flap and chewed off a hind leg. A hammer was the kindest quickly available choice for the baby bunny. Or it might have been a boot. Don't really want to remember. Cats are obligate carnivores.

i searched before posting, and didn't find a thread like this soooo.......


today, i cleaned up some junk that was in my way. i replaced a bad light fixture, fixed up a tiller, and cleaned up a few things.

how bout you?

Changed engine oil & filter, hydraulic oil & filter air filter & fuel filter on my Kubota b2400…LOTS of oil dry still on the floor

 

[Fixr]

Absolutely jack.

Did Jack appreciate your doing him?

 

[oldman_pottering]

walked in and grabbed my shop scissors / shears, went down the back to the chook coop, cut some lemon grass up into small pieces and scattered it around to help repel mozzies

Exactly.

If jack thought I was going to do anything more for him than slice his bits off with a rusty razor, and nail them over the greenhouse door, he was sorely mistaken.

Been there, too many times. We do seem to choose some pretty savage pets.

 

[JJ99SS]

Do some quick research on just one outdoor cat's kill radius at night. They kill a TON of things. Little Whiskers is devastating to local wildlife. That said I've had a ton of cats. I watched my Siamese pull a magpie right out of the air as it tried to fly away when my cat made the lunge for lunch. lol

I did the rear drums on my O4 Taco, and bled the brakes. Got coolant to do next.

I went to investigate. Dog beat me to the sound and dispatched noise maker before I could get to it. Cat and what was left of rabbit was placed outside and cat door was locked closed.

Our cats do a great job of keeping the field mouse population under control too.

Yup. The house cat is one of the most savage killers in the world.

 

[DGersic]

More scope creep on the shed. Decided that this panel on the back was too bad to deal with. Had a few ideas on trying to fix it, but they were all bad ideas, would take too long, with ugly results.

Bought a T1-11 siding panel. Removed the old, cut and installed new.

 

[DGersic]

Neighbor’s garage, fixed the garage door opener. Had a broken wire at the sensor on one side. Quick, easy, and free to fix it.

I feel bad about this as we like our wildlife at home but then I just love this little face

Back when I had cats, there'd be a line of 10-20 corpses from the back door to my car every morning.

 

[LeonardY]

Looked for some stuff. Killed a couple of mosquitos. Found some other stuff that I wasn't looking for.

wow, I was not really a cat person until my wife started work at a vet clinic and brought home kittens that needed looking after until a home was found for them

That little face would playfully snap your neck if he was bigger than you.lol

 

[niget2002]

Actually in the garage and not in the shop or under the carport...

Installed the new tank mount hardware on the sporty.

I'll cut down the new rubber fender washers at some point... No. No I won't.

I should have realized when I was having a hard time getting the bolt tight without the rubber washers that something wasn't right, but gorilla me just kept cranking down on the nut and bent the tank mounts.

I had to use a flat blade pry bar to bend the tabs back out to fit the washers in.

Does your scan tool have data and functions?

I have Genisys SPX by OTC. I could not find any functions or data settings. In one of the diagnostic settings I found 2 codes, PO307 Cylinder #-7 misfire detected, & P1000 readiness monitors self-test not completed.

 

[Mike65]

Used my OTC scanner to find the engine miss. Code PO307 found which is for a cylinder #-7 miss.

 

[jade97]

Last night, oil change and tire rotation on both the F250.& Edge.

 

[GarageHobbyist]

Been making spoons and ladles, and tools for working with copper.

And that is why you "bell the cat" if it is going to be outside. It gives the wildlife a possible warning before the attack. Cats devastate the bird population in some areas.

 

[Wrench97]

3rd one back on the left side, swap the coil with the #5 or #6 and see if the miss moves with the coil.

 

[oldman_pottering]

been leaving one roller door up at night so hopefully the cats will get in and get the rat or rats, walked in this morning checked for rat ****, no more found, shut the door and went to work

 

[welder4956]

Today was cleaning out the accumulation of "stuff" in the basement garage. Me and the wife worked on one half sorting through boxes of "stuff" removed from her clothing alterations shop twenty years ago. Part of it was boxes of "stuff" she got from buying out another shop for the equipment. We took one pickup truck load to the donations dropoff and loaded another pickup truck load to go to the landfill. We're tackling the other half of the garage tomorrow, but that side is much less cluttered. Feels good to be rid of all that stuff.

 

[niget2002]

"cold" front coming in the next few days. Son's lemon plant still has fruit on it. I thought it best to go ahead and bring it inside. Last spring when I left it out during similar temperatures, it dropped all it's fruit.




Once the fruit is finished growing, I'll cut it back for the winter.

That's what I was doing yesterday, except it was moving plants into the greenhouse and hooking up automatic watering. My esposa has a collection of papaya, guava, bay leaf, sugar cane and banana plants that we bring in before the first cold spell.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Cleaned, flung, put away. Nowhere near done.

 

[LeonardY]

Found what I was looking for. Now I can put back all the stuff I pulled out looking for it.

 

[mopar66]

Sold a few items. Got rid of some old car parts that didn't sell.

 

[Magnum440d100]

Set up shop out there, to work on the house floor. Finally.



Got the first subfloor board screwed and glued. Got the under house crossover hooked up and spread some goop over it. And a register crudely cut in, for at least SOME airflow/ heat in this part of the house.


Only the one in the corner is glued/screwed. It’s midnight, and I have work to wake up for around 4 am. But tomorrow after work, I can glue and screw the others. Start getting this house back to livable condition. I have some more work to do underneath, but I’m hopeful I can at least get the living room buttoned up and ready for winter

 

[oldman_pottering]

Got the under house crossover hooked up

Is that a pipe for heating ?

 

[Magnum440d100]

Yeah, it connects both halves of the ductwork
