Hickory is gorgeous. We had hickory cabinets in the Idaho house kitchen and bathrooms. Might've been from the same cabinet company...

Just abandoned at the curb?

Just abandoned at the curb?

Yep, with a sign that said “ FREE”

I know the neighbor, she came out and told me “thanks” for hauling it away.

She is getting rid of her husbands stuff, said she would let me know what else there is after the 4th

That sounds ominous

Reminds me of the urban myth when a woman sold her cheating husband's Corvette for pennies on the dollar.

Those 100 pounders are fun to lug around.

What is the mfg date on the collar?

never under estimate a womans scorn.

She was saying something about a pool table and poker table, I have played at the poker table.

I don't know why the husband went to jail, but the divorce was just finalized and she got everything but 50% of the equity in the house, and she doesn't want to deal with his stuff.

99, it will pass reinspect, it is excellent condition, and no OPD valve required as it is larger than 40lb

I just replaced a bunch of new rocker switches in my new place with these smart dimmer switches:


And replaced some really cheapo style fan controls with some smart digital versions
old:

new:


Re-wiring made easier by using these Wago 221 "lever wire nuts":


These made it easier to keep the wires clean and neat, and made more space in the boxes, which was needed cause all these "smart" switches are extra deep.
Biggest benefit of these was when joining in stranded wires (that were internally attached on the new switches) to the exisiting solid copper. Every existing fan switch had the stranded wires, and in every case, the solid wire was untwisted with the stranded just wrapped around it in the wire nut. New connection with the wago is much more secure.

My brother does lots of electronics testing work, took a couple to work with him, ran 1500 watts thru them and measured with a thermal camera. The connector got no hotter than the wire itself.


Installed a few of these as well at the kitchen island:

I recently did some re-wiring with the Wago nuts. Good stuff and very neat.
