This post builds on 5 Little Projects Part 1 published June 8th [projects 1-5], 5 Little Projects Part 2 published June 21st [projects 6-10], & 5 Little Projects Part 3 published September 7th [projects 11-15]. This will cover the final 5 little projects I worked on in 2020.
Over the summer I came upon a website dedicated to building bin cages for hamsters and other small pets. I immediately wanted to build bin cages for the mice to double the room they have to run around and play at night.Â
This past summer, Jim challenged me to build a 3-panel folding screen for under $40. Actually, it started with him searching online for an affordable screen for the corner of the bedroom, but they all looked [to me] like discount store dressing rooms. He said “if you can build one for less than $40, then go for it!”. And I did 🙂
Part 1 took us up the point of removing the spider arm from the Samsung washer drum. It was nearly impossible. The bolts were completely fused to the spider arm and drum. I finally got the old spider arm off and the new one on, and everything is working perfectly!
OMG this was a PROJECT!!! One week to dismantle the washer, replace the spider arm, and put the washer back together. Another week to wait for a part we didn’t know needed replacing. But it works great now!
In Part 1 I explained how I found a ton of rot behind the existing steps when I pulled them away from the house. And critter holes. Which probably explains why I trapped and released about 30 mice from the basement this summer!Â
For the past year or so I have taken a different approach to blogging. As have the vast majority of bloggers I follow. Some have postulated it’s the natural evolution of blogging on the internet.
