Fan Capacitor

I just about lost my mind the other day as the fan stopped running, stunk like burning plastic, all in the middle of the bed build. I began to run the finances through my head of another fan which made me even angrier. I then started doing the math of fan lifespans. 5 years at 8 hours a day came out to somewhere around 15,000 hours. In my research I found that the Motor Capacitor can go leaving the fan motionless. I opened up the fan guts and this is what I found.

I found a replacement at Dan's Fan city!!! WOOHOO! 

12 Bucks beats buying a new fan any day. 

Bathroom Mulligan

Alea has been hard at work on the bathroom. New paint, some pictures, and an updated paint job on the light fixture and the mirror border.

Here is one of the before and after.

Almost there!

The slats have been screwed on and pegboard has been laid to accommodate the memory foam mattress. The side-rails are cut but I ran out of screws.

Summer Break Project Update

Summer is finally here! This means we have the time to sit, think, and get back to work. We ended on three coats of paint. The next step is slats every two inches then side-rails. I can finally see my garage floor!

Headboard finished

The headboard is ready to be painted.

Bed Time

We decided to make a bed rather than buy one from Kane's. For the most part it has been an over sized pile of lumber in the garage. Four weeks after purchasing we finally began cutting. The head board is starting to take shape.

Marathon Man

Ran a marathon a few weeks back and the ankle is just now starting to feel normal again.  Here are the before and after pics.
