I had a guy who posted on the NextDoor app about being able to install wire mesh around roof solar panels come over to look at our roof and panels about a month ago. John Myers does these install jobs on the side, not a business. He’s an Army AD Captain, Aviator. He had agreed to do our panels when we’re… Continue Reading “Roof Trashed from the birds!”

Pigeons destroying the roof
Lou scheduled the solar company (Ho’a Solar Inc.) for today to replace some bad inverters, and also inspect and give an estimate to clean out underneath the panels and put netting up to keep the pigeons out. We’ll see what that will cost. Damned pigeons!!!
Fixing the inside garage door
Lou’s gotten into wood filling to fix the house doorways of shipped wood edges. So she took on trying to refinish the door to the garage, a typical exterior wooden door, that over the years started peeling off/shredding at the bottom from weather exposure. She scraped off the shredding door layer, filled… Continue Reading “Fixing the inside garage door”
Painting and other “inspection” (Gutters)
Today was home fixer upper day. Lou has been wanting to paint the garage doors. I’ve been wanting to clear out the roof gutters where plants have sprouted because of the pigeons roosting on the gutters and dirt/crap settling. I pulled out the 22′ roof ladder to see if it will reach, and it does. So … Continue Reading “Painting and other “inspection” (Gutters)”

I’ve had to reposition the latch bars to get them to catch properly but as the gates keep sagging more and more the latch keeps slowly misaligning and getting… Continue Reading “Fixed Those Sagging Vinyl Gates”
More Storage Space
We need more storage space (who doesn’t!) and the main garage rafters area is full. Also, pushed mostly because of the recent rat problem and my inability to reach the crawlspace in the rafters inside the small garage and lanai ceilings, we decided to have Arthur Galang (he did all our past home renovations)… Continue Reading “More Storage Space”
More Garage Door issues
I was opening the small garage door this morning, and some wire snapped. Here we go again with the goddamned garage doors! It looks like a thin wire embedded in the rubber ‘chain’ band that retracts and extends the door between the door itself and the motor’s gear. I assume it’s an embedded… Continue Reading “More Garage Door issues”
Rat damage fix!
The garage door for the small garage has been malfunctioning for almost a month now since rats chewed thru some wires, and the door won’t remotely close. I ordered splice/crimp connectors and 22 gauge wire from Amazon, determined to fix this problem… caling Raynor will cost, mostly expensive… Continue Reading “Rat damage fix!”
