First order of business was to complete the office bathroom floor by grouting. Not that hard and was completed withing a few hours.
Two weeks ago my brother came out for a visit and thankfully he is just as handy as we are so many projects were slated. The most important was to paint all the interior doors, thirteen of them. Normally I would have to paint by hand, however my brother has a professional spray paint gun and we actually completed the painting in half a day. That includes removing and prepping.
We changed all the outlets and receptacles from the awful "biscuit, almond, or whatever" color you want to call them to a nice white. Once again thanks to my brother who is also a fine electrician. There were two times when jumpers needed to be changed inside the switches and receptacle that I would not have known needed to be changed in order for a certain configuration to work.
My brakes on the truck were done and I had scheduled an appointment with Toyota for a front brake job. Approx cost $240. But my brother is a motor head too and taught me how to change the brakes. It was so freaking easy!!! Total cost approx $50! I will never pay to have the brakes done again.
Thresholds were completed along with a few door cuts since the floor height was raised considerably.
All in all it has been a busy few weeks. Whew!!!!

You worked like an Interior Company last few weeks!
And you have good brother(s) visiting you with Pro-use spray paint gun.
Surprising!! You've changed the brakes!!
Don't spread the know-how to protect Toyota Servicing Section, pls.
Please notr, he is talking about the middle brother, Tank, not the oldest. Best that I can do is clean out a basement for 3 weekends.!
K- I do have good brothers that are always willing to lend a hand. I do not think I will be taking too much business from Toyota. I do not even change my own oil anymore.
Shell- I do believe that you can do more than clean out the basement. However if you really like that kind of stuff, pay me a visit because I do have a lot that needs to be cleaned :)
Not until you come change my brakes.
Don't know why that came out as anonymous
I really like doing stuff that saves me money... I will spend 2 days doing a project that a pro could knock out in half a day - guess that means I don't value my time too much hahahaha.
Hey, I changed the battery in the riding mower today! By myself!
The question is how many times did you shock yourself? LOL

Nice Joke!!
No shocks but I did catch the shift knob lever with the wrench as I was securing the pos terminal and had a few sparks.
LOL you guys are too much!!
