Worth the hassle! I got here to this giant Woodstock mud pit to find a mess!
Now the bossman told me this delivery was all on pavement and there shouldn’t be any hassle besides charging the lift trailer that’s dropped here!
So I followed the boss man’s directions exactly! To the mother fucking T!
Ofcourse using both lifts side by side as bossman told me! Cus this is pavement, member?
Ofcourse when I ran my pallet jack onto the mud it instantly got stuck!
Ofcourse when they all asked why I didn’t back lift to lift. I explained bossman told me not to! Cus I asked, “ this is a back up lift to lift deal right? He said, “ no use both lifts….. 1 at a time!
I also made sure to tell them I’m doing this exactly like the bossman told me!
Cus I care damn it! I care!
There are some people you listen to! Yea, that’s not one of them…..
Ever wonder what to do with that block of oyster shrooms you scored from work?
Well so did I! So tonight I made teriyaki mushroom stir fry!
Ingredients,
A gaggle of oyster mushrooms
A jalapeño
An onion
Some green beans if you also choose
Some garlic and ginger root
Baby bok choy
A red pepper
Teriyaki sauce
Worcester sauce
Soy sauce
Preferred, roasted beef bullion paste ( but powdered will do!)
In a larger cereal bowl. Put a tablespoon of bullion, a splash of soy sauce along with another splash of Worcestershire sauce. Maybe even toss in a bit of your teriyaki sauce! Mix well and set aside!
Chop all that shit up! Except the oyster shrooms! Throw everything in a hot pan and cook the veggies to your preferred crunch level. While cooking throw in a bit of that beef bullion paste you had mixed with water. Let all that cook, while steaming off the beef bullion!
Next throw all the oyster mushrooms into a searing hot pan! I personally like to get a nice brown on those shrooms! When just about cooked. Reduce heat and throw in some of that beef bullion in water!
Stir, stir stir! When shrooms are cooked to your likeness! Toss everything in a pan and mix including teriyaki sauce! Ofcourse on low heat. As you’re just trying to throw some extra heat before serving!
You can either serve ala’cart or on rice…..
If you have done it right. You can’t tell the difference between shroom and meat…..
Yesterday! Finally broke down and went to get some new “ work “ sunglasses! These here raybans I bought 5 years ago have just about had it!
So I grabbed my prescription and headed to the eyeglass place!
Since I already have a new pair of raybans that I will not use for work. I decided on buying the house brand! Oddly I had no idea it was buy 1 get one free!
So I got 2 pairs of work sunglasses! 🙂 while the girlfriend got a pair of sunglasses and regular glasses!
So for like $300 I scored 4 pairs….. not a bad day of shopping……
After that, I finally made it home! Had a bowl of cereal and passed the fuck out…..
Having my lawyer put a bid in on the neighbors “ devil worshipping “ house! No, not cus I actually want the house! Just so I can remind the bitch next door to never judge a book by its cover…..
Was an eventful day! Started out by fixing the front license plate mount on the hotrod!
Couldn’t find a 1/4” spacer at the hardware store. I did however find a 1/4” rubber furniture foot that fit perfectly. At the hardware store! 🙂
I then proceeded to install the all glass led bulbs I bought at Costco for the bathrooms!
Other than the fact Crissys 2 hour long steam sessions rusted the fixture. I need to decide whether to replace or paint it? Cus honestly it really fits that bathroom…..
Those bulbs throw off a really nice soft white so I ended up putting them in both bathrooms!
Then I liked what I was seeing so much. I went back to Costco and bought the can light led retrofits! For years I had put in 100w outdoor spot light bulbs into those cans. As that was the only thing that actually put off enough light!
These are 75 watts and honestly outshine the 100w….. fyi, that can on the far left! Yup that’s my new arch nemesis! I don’t know why but I can’t get that fucker tight against the ceiling!
That’s a battle for another day! 🙂
I did however throw out more of the x’s kitchen shit! 1 maybe 2 more garbage days and I’ll have an actual clean kitchen! Yay!
This glass top, Frigidaire convection stove is in! That was a week long journey into hell! 😉
Originally I had this old drop in oven! I kept having to buy new ones every 10 years or so! Why? Dunno! Yet after this last failure I was not looking forward to spending $2000 base model for a new range!
So I bit the bullet and opted for a slide in range! Now getting the old one pulled and out of here was the easy part!
Destroying the built in mounts was the difficult part!
So with a bit of luck. An unsteady hand a 3 dremel tools. I got started! I found that the dremel rotary cutting tool worked real well!
It allowed me to drop into the counter, Formica, wood and all without chipping or damaging the counter tops! I also found if you remove the guard. It works real well at cutting through a nailed in board….. with great attention to not taking out the Sheetrock with the wood cut!
Now not only did I have ( laughing as this is not a low dollar build house! ) particle board In the cabinetry. I also had solid oak to get theough!
That wood bit did it all up until the last cut! Overheated and finally snapped! 🙂 luckily the kit comes with 2 almost identical bits! So the second one got me finished!
Doing this all by hand caused some raunchy cuts! Luckily a quick sand with a block and wammo edges are straight and looks decent!
So with that all finished I had to wait for the electrician to come out and move the receptacle down the wall!
Leaving intact the old one in case a new stove happens again!
As the whole in the counter is 30” and ofcourse the stove is 29.5” I have a gap on both edges! To fill that I used a stainless steel edging and to keep it leak proof. I added a silicone edging piece to really fill in the gap and make it more “ waterproof” for spills!
I tested out 2 different versions! One that’s more of a T style ( right side ) and one that’s more of a corner style! ( left side )
Any questions ask! Otherwise this project is done except for finding a silicone piece to put in the back against the tile to finish it off!
P.s. make sure to set your stove at counter top level! FYI…..
Electrician comes out next week to drop the electrical box down. Other than that the dry fit looks good! Raise it up an inch or so. Drop the edging in and I think I I’ll be done!
I’m thinking I’m gunna pay the money to have the over the stove microwave put in! Cus this project was a mother fucker!
