Handy Work

When the Handy Husband retired, our House decided it needed some more attention. 

Some projects Handy chose to do, others the House thrust upon him!

House opened with a failed double pane window. Fortunately it is still under warranty (lifetime aka only for the original owner) and we are now waiting the 5 to 6 to ?? weeks for the replacement. 

We offered up a new set of doors to go with the window. Waiting on those too. 

House then threw a leaky water heater into the soup. 

Handy countered with fixing a small leaky window, plus cleaning and replacing rain gutters. 

So House has now thrown a failed attic fan into the mix, plus an intermittent A/C in the master bedroom. 

Here’s our lovely electrical panel! The flipped breaker for the attic business is 6B. 

Look at this labeling! WTF is Beth’s room? Who is Beth? Does she haunt the rodents in the attic? 

Breaker 6B is labeled as Wet Bar (now a pantry) / Hall Bath. I never would have guessed.

So Handy put in a new fan.

And he upped the house by finding an unsecured vent in the attic, which was perhaps a rodent entrance. Screened off now. 

It’s the house’s turn next.
