Clutter in the walk path is a big issue for me.

When the grandkids were young they would leave their shoes and/or toys laying in the hallway and often in front of the doors.

I made them pick up several times. Oneday the oldest came to ask "Where are my shoes, have you seen my shoes?"
I told him he could start looking for them in the backyard. I had thrown everything laying on the floor of the laundry room out the backdoor.:twisted:

I have clutter everywhere, but there are paths through it in the garage.

Homie has arisen from his boxcophagus after a long sleep and taken his rightful place in the middle of the front yard. Rest of the lights are up, I think I have shrunk, seems to be harder to hang the lights on the cup hooks on the facia boards. Might get a pic later when it is dark.
There may even be Trick or treaters this year...Here they are saying it's OK. I have yet to have one anyways...My driveway is 200' long and dark, lol.

All hate is the same
that is not even faintly true...there are many degrees of hate, starting just past mild annoyance, and going to white hot blinding rage...there is just and unjust hate, there is righteous hate, and malevolent hate....
it's ok to hate evil...it's not ok to hate your neighbor because he came from a different place than you...

Replaced the old 1990's style drawer slides on the knives and forks drawer with a nice ball bearing smooth new style slides.
Not only does the whole drawer slide out now right to the back, it closes butter-smooth too.

My wife is super impressed. Think it cost $5.

My keyboard tray needs the slides replaced and I keep forgetting, thanks for the reminder

Found the P trap under the sink was leaking, knew I smelled something wet under there. You think I could just get a generic replacement? No. :cuss: Got a replacement ABS elbow, had to glue in a threaded piece to match the pipe to the sink, put it in and the threads are a different size now than in 87. I need to cut the original off the wall stub, put in a slip collar and a piece of pipe to match the new elbow and make sure it lines up with the sink.
I can't find the old one anymore, I tossed it across the room when I found out nothing matches, I think I sent it into another dimension. I've looked everywhere. :shock:

Those slip connections suck.....this house had it under the kitchen sink. If you emptied a full sink of hot water it would let that slip off and it was a sink full of water under the cabinet :cuss:
