I had some wood left over from the upstairs bathroom under floor, so I decided to make a fancier address plaque.
I use the same logo on all signs in the home and on the guestbook. You can’t tell from this picture but all the black is engraved (using a router) about 1/5 inch deep.
Although I clean all filters on all AC units every time I’m at Ozuye, sometimes cleaning the filters isn’t enough. I could clearly see the AC in the great room being dirty and dusty beyond the filter. So I took off the housing and managed to reach the blower, which was full of gunk.
Above shows what I cleaned out, using a long brush. After cleaning the housing everything was put back together.
Now it looks as clean as when I installed it.
Today I finished the (Vinyl) tile floor in the upstairs bathroom. It’s a click system that’s waterproof and has a 22 mil protective top layer.
I also fixed the door jamming. All that’s left is to paint the wood under the shower pan and fill some gaps.
The downstairs bathroom rain shower was in need of some TLC. The small rubber strip on the floor was worn and as a result, the entire bathroom floor would get wet every shower.
As I did not want to put a shower pan in, I opted for the next best thing; creating a shower pan with a special strip, much higher than the rubber strip. But as the strip alone would not prevent water splashing over the pan, I also mounted a shower curtain rail and bought a fitting shower curtain.
I also used the steel wire that came with the rail to properly strengthen the shower head, which had been supported by an improvised support made from an older coat hanger.
The pan strip is intentionally a little larger than the rail, so that water dripping down from the curtain stays with the pan.
This should fix the wet floor issue. Just to be sure I will place a warning on the right mirror to be aware of the strip as you step back, as even though there’s enough space to stand, if you step back not knowing there’s a pan strip on the floor, it could trip someone. Think of it as the warning on microwaves not to dry your cat in it.
Coming home one evening I realized it’s pretty dark walking to the stairs. So I installed an automatic lamp, which turns on at dusk, switches off at dawn and lights up brighter when movement is detected.
