Buy her a mop and apron too. Might as well go all on if it’s a love it / murder situation.

Thing is $600. I think that’s more expensive than my real oven was.

I have a Wolf convection thing that was right around $500. Totally worth it if you cook about that much often. Anova's thing is 15% off right now, $510, but yeah... Expensive.

I know a leaf blower was mentioned but do you have a pressure washer? Use an attachment like this. Depending how high your roof is at least you don't have to worry about climbing on the roof/ladder. Downside seems like it would be messy. AgiiMan Gutter Cleaning Tool Pressure Washer - Extension Wands, Roof Cleaner Lance Nozzle - 4000 psi 5 Tips, Window Washing Accessories, Power Washer
Hire this guy. I fell down this YouTube hole one day and watched a bunch of his videos.speaking of gutters, since i just did a powerwash clean, i have this on 3 out of 4 gutters
i'm assuming theyre clogged, is the only way to clean it and "eject" it out is to take it apart and stick a hose down it?
Edit: bah, here's a video thats not age restricted.

Yes call a professional. Those things have to be tensioned like a mother fucker. Not sure which design you have but I’m guessing this is something you could do some serious damage or injury to yourself if done incorrectly. I’m pretty handy and a cheap ass but that’s not something I’d mess with.
If you’re feeling brave, YouTube it and have at it!

That thing looks like a knock-off of the June oven which is the original outrageously priced toaster oven at $999.

Tldr: making skynet on my property from scratch.
Looking for good ideas on mounting solar panels to a vertical 4x6. This is to power one of my surveillance nodes. Also need to mount two of these sirens.
Open to using metal poles but not sure where to find them. Ideally the solar panel attachment would be adjustable. Just using a renology 10watt panel.

Agreed with Hateyou. I replaced the tension springs on my two car garage door and I will never, ever do that again. Call someone and let them risk their own arm and life.

On another note, was hooking up my Sensi Touch Thermostat today and the existing Thermostat had no C-wire connected. After pulling it off it was there just not terminated, so no big deal. Put the Sensi on, stripped the C-wire and connected it up. Checked and I have 26V going across all terminals, RH > W, Y, G, C. Sensi won't turn on so I'm confused. Open the furnace upstairs and the far end of the C-wire isn't terminated at the transformer. So connected it up (the white was already running to C from the outside compressor fan). Now I have 0V going to the thermostat. Assuming something blew somewhere but this is my second unit which doesn't have a breaker so am not quite sure where to go.

Updating my blog here... Got it worked out, honestly not 100% sure what was going on. It is possible that the first go my common wasn't completely connected at the furnace. Because when I took it apart and put it back together everything was working fine. This is after spending about 3 hours turning my house upside down for 1 of 2 multimeters that I own. Of course they were both in the same toolbox in a corner of an upper shelf in the woodshop. About the least useful place for them.

Interior repaint coming along nicely. Painter does excellent work at a really fair price. It has completely transformed the feel of the house. I also ripped all the shit out of the garage and had that painted. I threw away all the door knobs in the house and got decent levers and new hardware for the front door.
New carpet and counter tops next. Random stuff like new curtains my GF will pick out. Going to have the windows cleaned....they've never been cleaned on the outside. Here in a month, going to hire a guy to rip out ALL the telecom gear/wires and put new stuff in. Before spring, I'm going to have the HVAC modernized which I think means ripping out the old stuff and putting new stuff in.
My biggest issue with the house is that every prior owner has completely half assed everything and it is taking me good chunks of time fixing it....but I knew it would be a good winter project, and I'll have a nice house top to bottom when I am done.
The best part? Home prices are rising steadily, and I am already at the break even point for paint/carpet/HVAC. It for sure will even off from here, but it is a good deal.

I do my own tension springs, but I sweat like a banshee the whole time. Next time I need it done I will probably call someone. Not worth the potential injury.
