    What did you do today?

    Highup, I have no idea what that is. Went to the doctor on Friday. Really wasn't feeling like going because I felt like garbage but figured I could get some medicine. A few days prior a bug flew into my ear and it was itching. Bug was long gone but since my brain knew it had been in there it...

    What did you do today?

    I just thought of the Rolling Stones song "Paint It Black". Did a gloss black spray on a hood I used to protect the back side of my UPS. I have a photo somewhere. LOL. It turned out fine. Today we got the vehicles taken care of. Got inspection sticker for the truck. It had a headlight out so...

    What did you do today?

    Highup, the google pixel edit thing is so cool. My sister has a google Pixel (not sure what number). I wonder if S23 ultra can do that too. As it is, i can't even figure out how to blur signs in videos. LOL. Daris, RF treatments for pain? I did something I didn't think I'd ever do. I bought...

    Rotted subfloor, notched joist, & other problems that need repair

    Thanks! That method should work. I really need to get the back hallway cleared out, rest of the walls demo'd, old shower torn out, & get the subfloor fixed.

    What did you do today?

    yes. I got him a plain burger and Mom broke it up into pieces and fed it to him. He was very happy. He then sat on her lap for several hours. LOL. He actually did pick up the ice cream. Mom asked him to though. And she went straight to eating it. Can't say I blame her. Yesterday I picked up...

    Thanks, I'll play around with the layout more when my brain is actually working. LOL.

    Rotted subfloor, notched joist, & other problems that need repair

    I should have edited the image better. The narrow strip outside the door is what will be cut off. Got about a 45" or 46" span from the wall to the stub out (that has electrical in it) where the door is. I think there's about 4" width of the board after cutting off the part near the wall. I...

    What did you do today?

    I took Fippy to the vet to get his claws trimmed, allergy shot, and heartworm shot. Went to the post office and grabbe McDonalds on the way home. Fippy was very excited when I asked him if he wanted "a burger sandwich". Mom wanted a fillet of fish and a coffee. I'm still feeling slightly cruddy...

    What did you do today?

    I cleaned the cat's waterer and changed the filter. Fed kitties. Fed doggies. Fed Mom. Went to Walmart for curbside pickup. They didn't give me $40 worth of stuff so I've requested a refund because they either forgot to pull it or they gave it to the wrong person somehow. All I know is, we...

    Rotted subfloor, notched joist, & other problems that need repair

    Highup, I tried the stair-stepping in the sketchup drawing and ended up with smaller than 6" pieces on the end. Like 2" pieces. I suppose I can try it again and plan to use the glue.. I have seen the trick of gluing the small pieces on to a larger piece though. What sort of glue would you...

    What did you do today?

    Must not have to deal with doctors' handwriting then. :P Flooring looks great! That's a huge place! So, my brother was unaware that the co-worker was trying to backstab him & that she really seemed to have it in for him, but he did note that she's been unusually rude to him ever since the...

    What did you do today?

    He should be able to get the Casino's medical insurance that gives free medicine and clinic visits. They cover some meds that his current insurance will not cover that had really been helping him. I believe the job also gives PTO. Rained and thundered all day. Princess again identified as a...

    Rotted subfloor, notched joist, & other problems that need repair

    yeah. The one I wanted to get is no longer available. It would also interfere with being able to pull the washing machine in and out of the spot and would still require a floor drain. I've never had a washing machine actually leak. Had a hose leak before but that isn't too hard to fix/replace. I...

    Rotted subfloor, notched joist, & other problems that need repair

    Ah, I already have the vinyl planks so they are getting installed. But I can skip the drain. I'm currently trying to figure out the best pattern for installing the planks with the least amount of waste. I'm playing around in sketchup again to get a general idea. I do plan to put a vapor barrier...

    Rotted subfloor, notched joist, & other problems that need repair

    I'm still thinking about the floor drain. I found an inexpensive 12" rectangular linear drain that has a stainless steel cover. https://www.amazon.com/Bathroom-Rectangular-Stainless-Strainer-Adjustable/dp/B0CMGF3PLN/ I'm wondering if that would work. Anyone installed vinyl plank around this...

    What did you do today?

    Highup, did you peel/cut the top laminated layer off the lvp to wrap over that metal trim piece? The storyboard thing is very interesting. I just realized that I'm sure the walls in my laundry area are not parallel so that is going to suck when I need to do the flooring. I'm going to have to do...

    What did you do today?

    I used to be able to eat spicy food. My dad could eat really spicy food-- like Thai chilis and stuff. My brother can eat the hot stuff like its nothing, but I developed an intolerance. Not only do I get sick to my stomach, I also have my nose start running profusely and get a migraine from any...

    What did you do today?

    The Tandem is apparently considered one of the better insulin pumps and is one of the few that pairs with the dexcom g7. I discovered that when it unsyncs it is a pita and half of the menu options go away. Mom thought her bg was high but I did a fingerstick and found out it was only 52 and her...

    What did you do today?

    LOL. Fippy can be very sweet but he is a grumpy little dog. I was trying to cuddle him and he was growling at me until Mom started petting him He didn't growl at me as much before he got cataracts. Mom misread her pump thinking her blood sugar was down to 100 but it wasn't. It was still reading...

    What did you do today?

    Changed out Mom's insulin cartridge and tubing last night but her sugar would not come down. Was stuck on high. It finally went down to 100 after she ate. It's like the insulin just wasn't going in and I was thinking the canula needed to be changed again. I'm going to get a different type of...
