We go! I’m burning the first 2 official candles! 1 lavender wich is citrus and the other is pink wich is cherry blossom scent!

Now these are trial runs before I make a few to give out and get a response from others on what they think….

I now know I can’t use these wicks! They put of puffs of black smoke on occasion! That’s not acceptable! I also know that 1 eye dropper of scent doesn’t give off enough good smelling stuff for my acceptability!

I also know that I will probably have to use 2 thinner wicks to get a good clean burn of the whole candle!

With that said, I’ll watch the burn, see how long I can get on each 4oz jar!

I like to think I’m a very creative person! I love colors and matching them to make a pertty image or object!

I can’t paint and I can’t play guitar every minute. So creativity pops its head out all the time! I’m not on the road anymore so finding creative ways to crack hotel WiFi routers isn’t in the daily fun circus anymore!

Yea I could fuck with my neighbors that I’m not fond of. But why? I have to see them daily! 🙂

I digress, I’m also really fond of good smelling candles burning in the house! It makes the house smell good and warm! I also know for the price of 2 Yankee candles I was able to buy enough shit to make 30 candles!

So I let creativity win and wammo, I’m making candles I also know that like everything I do! I find ways to be the best…..

Then I get bored and will eventually get back to buying Yankee candles and more From the bbw store…..

Welp just got….

The bad news! The shipping on this is far more than previously expected from Italy! No way in hell would I pay €150.00 euro! Fuck I complained about the $100 usd I originally spent!

So unfortunately this piece will stay in Italy!

Luckily I had more than one option! So the new umbrella/katana rack will be…..

Tada! Look at the top dumbass!

Told ya ma ladies…..

Take damn good care of me! I’ve been looking for an umbrella stand to put all my higher end katanas in!

I’m not a fan of displaying them on the wall! Yet a tall vase of umbrella stand will look perfect with my decor!

Lo and behold ma ladies hooked me up all the way from Italy! Spent more on shipping than the actual item but I think it just might be worth it….. 🙂

Damn….

I need to mop the floors again! I really got to hire that maid service! Once a month to clean the toilets showers and mop the floors!

Everything else I can do. But maintaining 3 bathrooms by myself is kinda a weekend excursion on top of everything else I gotta do this summer! Grrrr!

Anyhoot, what do any yall know about bamboo flooring? I’m thinking since the builder installed linoleum is coming do for replacement?

The house is already set up for hardwood flooring. The original owners didn’t install it. Since all the major prep work is pre-done it’s definitely an idea!

( ie…. The door jams are already about an inch taller….. )

But I bought some bamboo planking a while back for shelving and love the texture and durability! I’m thinking of maybe putting that same water proof bamboo in all the rooms with linoleum?

I really don’t like tile idea except In the showers! I do know I want a massive claw tub in the kids old bathroom! Or even removing the master bath shower and putting in a claw tub….

Yet I want a completely water proof flooring like bamboo without the pain in the ass work of tile…..

I’m not a clean freak but I do love me some cleanliness without the work…..

Oh and I already have the plans to replace all the doors in the house with glass doors! Like old school business offices? Puting the kids names on them etc etc…..

Mrs. Leslie B – school teacher

Ms. Carrisa B – gas station attendant

Mr. Lawrence B – gods gift to truck drivers, crypto consultant, and internet brainiac…..

So on and so forth! 🙂

There ya go!

Cost $6.99 on Amazon for the switch! 5 minutes of my time and I found where that ball rolling noise is in the dryer is coming from!

How did I learn to do this? I grew up very fucking poor! I mean we didn’t get our first sports car until I was in middle school! Yea buddy!

The door switch is simple! Remove the 2 screws holding the lint trap in place on top of the dryer!

Then towards the front corner of the dryer top insert a large screw driver and twist! Do that on both corners and that will release the top.

Slowly lift up incase you’re missing something, like a screw etc!

I’m impressed as this dryer is well over 10 years old and that belt looks pretty good! Not to mention it’s not that dirty in there….. notice my awesome move of using a long screw driver to hold the top up? Pro fucking move brah! 🙂

Anyhoot, unhook this wire….. use a small screw driver to pry the connector over the retaining thingys!

Then accidentally get yourself stuck in the dryer ladies. Call me and I will come save you! 🙂

Then get down and remove the 2 screws holding the switch in! it’s in the door jam by the way!

Then just remove old switch! Mine was flopping around like your old man’s dick before his viagra!

To put the new one in just do these steps in reverse! Making sure the actual black part of the switch is as far from the dryer as possible!

See it there top right corner…..

If you do it the wrong way. The switch won’t activate….. as it will be compressed to the dryer body!

Oh did I mention if you get yourself stuck In the dryer ladies. I will seriously come and save you! Really!

I might call you step mom but don’t worry about that….. 🙂

Third time….

Is a charm!

It’s not pretty and needs atleast 3 wicks. Works and is working well!

Learned a lot from this adventure! I’ll definitely do more with all the left over wax…..

Guess what…..

I Be doing next week! Yup, I’ve never understood why they use particle board on cabinets that have water near them?

Don’t laugh, the plumbing fix works! The previous owners cracked the main drain line intake. That’s what all that caulking is on that black tube! So doing anything other than this. Is a waste of money till I call a plumber out!

Works great except for today when I threw to much lettuce in the disposal…….

Update ***** a new seal fixed my drip issue! ( you can see the old seal on the paint can….. ) And yes ROFLMAO! The trap is below the actual drain! Has worked for years! So when it stops I might actually call out a plumber! 🙂

These things are da bomb! Spendy as fuck but truly are comfortable to sleep on! Warm, cozy!

That Australian wool comforter is great for people who are not hot sleepers! So don’t eat before you go to bed if you own one…..

Holy shit…..

That was some serious box trolly shit right there! Like 22 boxes of oranges and melons! All 50lbs a piece!

We’re getting excited! They came and picked up our old garbage cans and soon, soon they will deliver us some shiny new ones! Ewwww!

P.s., I never understood why they do that! I have the same size bins as the previous account! Yet now that it’s in my name. They insist on bringing me new cans! ROFLMAO! Ok, we will be waiting on bated breath until the new ones arrive! 😉
