Sister and husband moved near us. Their new home has 2 odd wall switches that should have been located elsewhere. Or should had been 3-ways. I fixed the situation w Lutron Caseta wireless switches. Sister very happy w outcome.

Our SleepNumber mattress was on edge for months, air bladders had fallen to one edge. I flipped it bottom side up, unzipped the bottom, rearranged the bladders. Thankfully bladders were labeled ThisSideToBottom. Very quickly flipped it over - like a thick pancake - so parts didnβt have time to shift

27.09.2025 10:36 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 05 sec video of an extension ladder with a 2βW x 4βH piece of plywood sliding down the ladder. The ladder is resting on the ground and leaning on a 2nd floor deck. The plywood has flanges so in stays on the ladder. It also has a small shelf on the bottom. A black trash bag is on the sled shelf and the bag rolls off the shelf as the sled comes to a stop. A thin rope is tied to the sled so the person at the top can pull the sled back up.
Helped my son remove lots of plaster and lathe in a room he was refurbishing. We bagged the debris. Bags were really heavy. Made a sled mechanism to lower the bags from the 2nd floor to ground level. Worked great.

Made cardboard tunnels for our dog. Taped several boxes together. The maze including a tray for a Scooby snack and a hole where dog can retrieve said snack. Eye holes donβt align and where for added silliness. Worked great and was fun for everyone. Each time I dropped in a treat the tong appeared

Sister is moving from US Virgin Islands to my town in Illinois. Sheβs buying household items online and they arrive at my front porch. Today I need to go to a nearby town to pickup her turkey fryer. Iβll probably bring Wiggles.
