Ross of Ottawa<p>Getting rid of this old thing today. 1950s round receptacle in stunning brown. </p><p>It's for a sump pump - swapping in a modern one and with an energy monitoring zigbee device connected as well. Will be interested to know if and when the sump pump is being activated.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeReno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeReno</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeOwnership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeOwnership</span></a></p>
Ross of Ottawa<p>I want to install a pushbutton timer for a bathroom fan, and a dimmer for a bedroom overhead light.</p><p>Digging into electrical boxes in our oldish house usually means a surprise or two, and the jobs tend to become unexpectedly larger. </p><p>Those following along may recall one ceiling box I changed that had 13 screws holding it in place. </p><p>So I tend to expect the unexpected now. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeReno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeReno</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeOwnership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeOwnership</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a></p>
Ross of Ottawa<p>Yay, I did a thing today, so I haven't been totally useless. </p><p>A basement window has an outer screen that was inexplicably too large for its mounting channels so I disassembled its aluminum frame and shortened the top and bottom pcs by a cm, then reassembled and re-splined the screen. Success. </p><p>Don't feel as lazy about the long breakfast and wandering through antique shops today.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeReno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeReno</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/newHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newHouse</span></a></p>
