Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

That sucks. Two of my Colorado mountain homes had softeners but it was a long time ago. I don't recall exactly what was used but one was Culligan. It worked ok but just had to keep up on the salt. Had a bypass valve so I could bypass it and water plants without the salt water.

Not Culligan! bought a house two years ago with a Culligan softener. Not impressed. Home Depot and Lowe’s both carry softeners. You can use either salt or magnesium but magnesium is very expensive. Really suggest talking with some local plumbers and or hardware stores to pick their brains about what works best in their area.

I just had this installed at a house that I manage not too long ago. I manage one house with a culligan system and it is a salt hog. The Evolve system is very efficient with salt. With 8 bathrooms, the salt barrel only needs to be filled 3-4 times a year.

I probably should a softener system on my house. All my faucets and fixtures in my house are trashed from hard water.
I did recently put a deionized water filter setup for cleaning my cars tho. Unreal how much easier and better the cars are when washed/rinshed with DI’ed water.

I’m planning to add one eventually as well. It’s crazy how much better the water feels. These systems have bypasses as well if you need to water plants.

My old house had a water softener and if I used the hose bib off the softener I could basically wash my cars and let them dry in the sun and have no spots. I'd just use my leaf blower to dry them.

Yea it’s wild. Not needing to rush or be worried about being in the sun to dry is so nice.
 
New garage light. Old one lasted 3 years before plastic cracked. It's been zip tied for another year. But then started blinking recently. Hope I get another 4 years out of the new one.20240413_161132.jpg20240413_161152.jpg20240413_161157.jpg

We have a very tall digger pine in my backyard. We love having it but it’s getting too tall and the growth pattern is a big problem for liability reasons. So, unfortunately, Ol’Digger is coming down. 😞

That looks like the pine in my neighbor's yard that's between our homes, but it leans toward my house.
The bottom 3/4 of the limbs are dead and have been falling off mostly on my yard but a good soaking rain and wind I'm afraid will topple it on top of my house... :unsure: I would like to buy a 392

Yeah, that’s probably what my neighbors are thinking too. 🤣
 
Had to do a little maintenance on the push mower.

A little helpful hint if you have a self propelled push mower, it is belt driven, the pulleys can and do get plugged with grass. Take it apart and clean the pulleys out and off. Mine is a rear drive, 21" belt, drive pulley on main shaft, idler pulley, then pulley on the "transmission".
