These!!!! Well worth the installation.

I bought some hydrangea for the front yard. Time to block line of sight from talkative Brady bunch neighbors - I just want to sit outside without having to talk. Gotta fill some of this space

I like to get to know my neighbors, but I don't need to force a conversation with them each time I step foot outside.

Yeah, I know them well enough. I have told them " If you need anything, let me know" but the ultra frivolous small talk gets me. I can't be outside without " what's in the cup?! Nice day, we need more" or "what's up Chuck? Just livin the dream over here." Like ok cool I get it, small talk once in a while is fine, but damn yo I'm an introvert I just want to do the nob or wave with a half smile.


Funnily enough, they've not said a word about cold start, so I should count my blessings.

Throw a curve and reply "gasoline" then tip your 10-gallon cowboy hat and carry on

Having my septic tank pumped today. Good times.

Finally installed the new toilet I bought over a year ago.

Pretty.

Been a pretty shitty week.

My brother gave me a lawnmower he found. It’s a piece of shit but so is most of my dehydrated lawn. I had to replace the primer bulb but left it on its side while I got the bulb. Now it’s spotting some oil out the exhaust.

I want to get rid of my lawn so buying a lawn mower is prohibitively good investment. How do I solve this dilemma through austerity? Little bit of rain we got jumpstarted my lawn.

Haven't done it yet but posting for accountability...

At my last apartment I changed my shower head to one with a cheap hard water filter and then a hose with handheld shower, which was way better than the apartments original shower head.

I brought it with me to the new place last year but haven't installed it because the one already installed is decent already. But when I give Haru baths I'd love to be able to use the handheld shower head rather than constantly filling a food container and pouring it on him (lol).

So a few months back (March or April) I bought one of these but haven't tried installing it: Delta Shower Arm Diverter for Hand Shower, Chrome https://a.co/d/5wkLVE0

This way I can retain the provided shower head and use a diverter switch (if I even got the right thing) to choose which head I want the water coming out of.

Only thing is when I first got it I wasn't sure if it's actually something I can use because it seemed like one of the heads was wrong. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

So anyway I need to finally try it this weekend. If it works I can't imagine it'll take more than 10-15 minutes to install.

Something else I'm wondering is if I should go out and buy anti-seize or something to put on the threads.

Use plumbers tape. About a buck at any hardware store.

Funny, I noticed the picture shows someone putting it on the wrong direction.

"When you begin the application, start the tape on the second thread and apply clockwise. Doing so will help prevent cross threading and ensure tape does not end up inside the pipe. Once you have your proper placement, keep the tape tight and continue wrapping three times."
