General Upgrades & Ideas

[Jeff Lebowski]

I just finished a major project in the attic above our garage. We have a pull-down ladder and use the space above the garage for storage. Installed an electric hoist with a pulley and cable above the opening to lift heavy objects up. Put in a ton of flooring so we could store more stuff up there. Put in a light and and outlet. And the main thing was I installed a second electric hoist (with a wireless remote) with a fairly elaborate pulley system to lift the top off of my new jeep with cables that drop down from four holes in the ceiling. I will post pics and video in a week or two. Or you will see it on my FB feed.

Effings rocks. Seriously, eff those stupid rocks. This project is a pain in the ass.

Why don't you just hire some [insert nationality or ethnicity here] to do it? It has got to be worth the effort.

I assume you have a forklift to lift those bags.

I lack a forklift. So, just a temporary storage for now.

I made all 5 kids each fill up 2 buckets of rock this weekend. I’m frankly amazed how much of this rock was piled up there

Ha. I was wondering the same thing.

I have now filled up an entire one of these with these stupid lava rocks.

Still not done clearly out the area yet either. I think that I'm about 2/3 of the way done at this point. I'm going to post this stuff online and see if I can get some people to take it off my hands. If not, I'm going to have to probably bag it up in something else so that I can get it to the landfill.

Take that stuff to the dump. It's just 10 minutes away from Daybreak. Re purposing lava rock is a nightmare.

I don’t want to repurpose it, I want it effing gone.

I started shoveling up some of the lava rock the other day. Come to find out that the prior owners when they put it just laid a weed barrier over the bark mulch that was already there and piled the rock on top of that.

This weekend is going to be shoveling a lot of rock, but I have no clue what the hell to do with all this rock. I hate having a yard right now.

Put a "Free Lava Rock" ad on Facebook Marketplace - might get some fool to come shovel it away for you.

Unfortunately she still goes to my gym.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bad news here. I have found out more about Whitney and Justin Rose. I was right, they were on the Island. However, they have moved out of Daybreak, so they are no longer in my hood. I have walked by the house that they used to own and have even seen some places where they have filmed scenes of the RHOSLC.

All this is well and good but what we really want to know how often you run into Whitney and Justin Rose. They are in your hood after all.

This is a good thing. Lava rock has never looked good.

I read this as "Lava rock has never looked SO good."
