D.I.Y SOLAR TUBE INSTALLATION

The hardest part was working on my belly in the attic. First step locate on the ceiling where you want the light, drill a small hole, run a wire through the hole. I used a coat hangar & straightened it. In the attic locate the wire & pull it to the roof & make a mark. Drill another small hole. run wire through it. Up on the roof locate wire, slip the template marker on the wire & draw a circle, marked roof on the template. Cut along the line. The Kit gives you detailed instructions. Back down to the ceiling, use the template again, this time use the hole marked ceiling, slightly smaller then roof hole. Cut out. Assemble bottom tube to trim ring & insert in ceiling hole, lock 3 tabs to drywall. Flashing installed at roof hole, bring top tube up on roof, line up with bottom tube & slip down to top of flashing till it's flush. Install Dome line up for North & screw it in. Back in the attic, tape the tubes. YOU ARE DONE ! THIS JOB IS NOT FOR 80 YEAR OLDS---HA HA Ha ha !

Golf Cart Cover

It all started in this room,many hours of toil on Ethel's behalf. My job is to put on. Well we got it this far & Ethel didn't like the fit. So back to the bedroom for taking it apart & sewing it back together. We have FUN. Hopefully we will have an enclosure before the rain begins, HA !

This is the way it looks without the enclosure. I will post the finished product.

Seven Irrigation Zone Vales



First I had to remove bushes to work on the leak.
Then I tried to install them the way they were, no luck.
So I ended up putting two feed lines, one up & one down, that worked. One week of work. Now I will get rid of the edgeing & put in sod. Posted by Picasa

Painted awning & Rescreening

Florida is notorious for mold. This awning was spotted like a leopard. Tryed Clorox did not a wisker, so I will try painting. It took 2 coats for the spots to go. I am satisfied for now, hope it will last, the material is canvas.











The screens under the awning were all rotted,
so had to rescreen 4 of them. Used fiberglass screening material.









Came out O.K. Posted by Picasa
