Vinyl door skin you dumb-lookin' bitches. Before and after.
Instead of painting my burnt-out crappy looking front door doing hours of prep work including taking it down and outside for scraping sanding and all that rot... then fuckin' painting it... Spending probably 50 bucks on a worthwhile paint that can handle sunlight magnified by a storm door facing West... I frikkin found me a really good high resolution image file of a wooden shop door and gave it to a graphics buddy of mine who printed out this self adhesive vinyl door skin to exact size of the frikkin door. 32 frikkin bucks and took me about 20 minutes to handle the job and without taking the door down! Removing all the hardware then just a little bit of scraping away whatever would scrape off, and just stick the sumbitch to the door! Screw the hardware back on after cutting holes in the vinyl and there you have it. Instant transformation.
It is UV protected and will last 10 years at least. If it starts to fade it will merely make it look more rustic than it already is.
Ear yer hearts out, beotches.

Anyone besides me notice? Now that for at least the last 15 years, most people are carrying around cellphone cameras, there's been NO new sightings of bigfoot or the loch ness monster? Shouldn't it be the opposite, that by now we would have tons of HD video and hi-res pictures of these creatures?
Almost like noooo they don't fucking actually exist and never have.
Or wait... Maybe these creatures are hip to the fact of cameras everywhere including millions of hunters' game cameras, and just fucking hide better?
Just thoughts. Back when cameraphones were first getting popular, one of the selling points was how many mysteries like Nessie and bigfoot were finally gonna be solved.
Looks like they are.

98 dolla light bill makes me The Man.
All LED lights in my house and I took my HVAC into my own hands correcting years of bad practices by techs and put it back on factory spec in the control wiring and circuitry, correct blower motor size and wiring, and am using way oversized MERV-14 filter that gives virtually no airflow resistance and will last a year easily in this application. Bill has been decreasing steadily since I started the changes. Can't beat 98 bucks for a 1500 sq foot house.

I Won the war, getting my bigass dead Samsung fridge outta the house. Went and got a nice used Frigidaire from a fella for 200 bucks... It's still on the truck I'm gonna drag it in the house and install it tomorrow.
Commie Samsung lasted 13 years though. Frigidaire is a bit smaller, making it hopefully easier to get up the steps into the house.

Famous last words. It was a WAR to get that sumbitch in. Driving snowstorm, 40mph north wind gusting even higher, appliance dolly strap too short wouldn't lock around it... Had to use one of my 1 inch wide tie-down straps... Fighting that shit in the bed of my truck in that weather... Slick truck bed slick concrete porch, fridge only had half inch clearence either side... And so on. Got it though!

Meet Mr. Blowerᵀᴹ
He's a rescue, from a junkpile at an area HVAC company. It's a blower or, "air handler" out of a residential central heating and air unit. Quite common actually. This one looks to be only a few years old. This is how these companies make their piles of cash - they get called out for a simple problem then they start hard selling a totally new system instead of just fixing the problem. Ignorant homeowner is out 6 grand for a problem they could have fixed for a service call and a part. The company takes their existing equipment and tosses it into a junkpile, to be scrapped later. Anyway, the motor on this blower is totally good, not any problem at all with it, its bearings, or any problem with the blower wheel itself. It was going to the scrapyard anyway, so I liberated it and re-purposed it.
I used the finger guard from an old fan I had laying around to cat-proof it, then built the little wooden frame to snugly fit one of my smaller windows, screwed it to the sheet metal of the blower then came up with a clever mounting scheme.
This mother fucker is moving 4000 CFM and that is some serious volume. It takes the air from outta my house and blows it out the window. I open a greater or equal size window on the opposite end of the house from it and let 'er rip. My house holds about 12,000 cubic feet of air so with this I am changing out the air in the house every three minutes.
This keeps me from hardly ever having to run my AC in summer. In late fall or early winter, it keeps the house from getting stuffy and too warm. The weather here is typically mild enough to want that power-ventilation. Plus I always have fresh air breezing through when this badass is running - AND it uses two-thirds LESS power than either my AC or heater!
If it's too cold or hot out of course, Mr. Blower rests on the floor of my little workshop I have in the house.
Anyhow, greet him! Tell him how good he looks! I was gonna name him "Billy Badass" but wanted to give him more respect. He saves me money and keeps the air in my house outdoor-fresh!
Ain't none of you wombat-faced twits got anything like this.
