redneckchevy9 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 We all have that one little project that would take 10 minutes to complete, but day after day, month after month, it remains unfinished. Mine is the fridge door handle...been this way for 7 months...just cant find the time to fix it. The tiny plastic part and screw is $22...maybe that's why I haven't fixed it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTO Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 New replacement DR window sitting on the deck waiting for me. Old one is all ready to pull out. OH, and there is this annoying sound that starts everytime I walk into the house. I know the source but have had no success quieting it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drglinski Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I had some holes in my foundation letting water in...and phone cabling throughout my house. Since we no longer bother to own a landline phone I eliminated all of that today, and a couple of months ago sealed those holes. Yes, the winter blahs and cabin fever are starting to set in. ?

BOBSIH856 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Wire up a relay on our mule. Wiring 10-20 minutes, cleaning up a years worth of clutter that has accumulated on and around the mule will take a good hr plus to clean up and organize away.

I can hear it all over the house when she gets home. 6 hours ago, MTO said: I know the source but have had no success quieting it...

Steve C. Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 My experience has been that if you own a house there is no such thing as a last little project. Good for me, since I call my business small projects and jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
