Just a quick video of me replacing the old hard drive in my wife’s laptop with a new solid state drive, or SSD:

Ground ivy is this smelly (at least according to my wife), annoying, invasive yard weed that has creeping stems that sprawl over and under the lawn, crowding out the grass a lawn is supposed to have.

The other day my wife noticed that my car wasn’t smelling too fresh. She doesn’t ride in my car that often since we bought a van, so I figured that the smell had been building for some time. I figured I might as well change the cabin air filter - after all, it had been three years since I replaced said cabin air filter.

I’ve been playing with creating (Youtube) videos, including merging a couple together with the Windows 10 Photos App. So I present to you me fixing (replacing) the watch band on my wife’s Timex Ironman watch:

For the master bathroom remodel, my wife chose a 12” x 24” tile. Unlike a standard square 12” x 12” tile, I felt that having the tiles aligned such that they go “straight up” will look a bit off and that they’d appear better offset.

Soldering copper pipe is the process of joining two or more pieces of copper pipe together with a copper fitting. It is also known as sweating copper.

A week or so ago, my wife’s car broke down. The pully on the A/C compressor pulley wobbled and seized, so not only did her 2004 Honda Civic have no A/C, it smoked under the hood from the belt rubbing against the belt. So I had some work to do, and in the course of the repair I had to disconnect the negative battery cable because of reasons (and if you must know, it’s because I had to move the alternator out of the way, and in doing so I started sparking things. Safety second, I guess).

Replacing the cabin air filter is one of the most neglected yet easy-to-do maintenance items that car owners should do. It’s probably neglected because cars used to not have cabin air filters, and auto repair shops want to charge an arm-and-a-leg to replace them. The cabin air filter itself is fairly cheap.

A couple of posts ago I talked about how I am remodeling my master bathroom. I’m still working on that - still in the demolition phase despite working on it for two weeks - so I wanted to show some previous work I’ve done. In the house I lived in before, I remodeled the bathroom, and have been told I did a good job.

The month of March is going to be an intense one for me. In addition to my normal life of school and work, I’m helping my wife in her final few weeks of pregnancy and I intend to remodel the master bathroom.
