我装修补过的东西。年代可能有误,但不会差太多。

1. In 2002, installed two garage door openers.

2002 年买的地,看着建起来的新房,3个邻居家的garage door opener都是professional装的。室友说让professional去装,我说他们也是从装第一次开始的。所以我自己装了。照着opener的说明书,看着邻居家装好的样子,用 stud finder找出哪里有在dry wall里面的木头, 钻孔,把铁条装好,装好放链子的柱子,链子,opener,开关,红外发摄及接受器,key pads, programmed the code for remote controls。

注意两个装得不一样,第二个省了点材料:

 

2. In 2002,buried two drainage pipes for rain water under the lawn (one 6-7 m, the other 10-15 m),引到小树林里:

3. In 2002, enlargement of a cement post for the deck (the left side was my work, the right side was the original built by the builder):

4. In 2018, glued a piece of wood piece on the deck:

using this glue:

5. In 2018, replacement of a heating element in a water heater. Before the replacement, water for shower was not hot, and I also found sparks on the power part of the heater. Notice below the protective part of the heating element was broken and exposed (in water if in the heater). I was lucky not being killed by  exposure of the heating element in water to 110 V AC:

6. 2018, replacement of toilet draining piece, this one is much quieter and uses less water:

the old one:

7. 2018, replaced the kitchen faucet. Original brand was Moen, it is said their piece is life time warrentee, but I did not want to wait so bought a Kohler brand:

could not find the old Moen one, but check the old marker below:

8. Fixed the door:

9. In 2016, repaired the drive way:

using the tools I made (当了一次能发明并制造工具的中国猿人或山顶洞人。家坦和中坦里有猿人或洞人,其中有半边天吗):

10. In 2017, fixed a wheel of a small cart (drilled a hole in the axle and added a cotton pin), bought from next street of my house for $3 (asked for $10, offered $3, the deal done). Repaired it with more than $15:

the original wheel of the other side of the axle:

fixed two handles:

11. In 2020, fixed the handle of a water hose rail (abandoned by a neighbor in 2003):

and a hose:

12. in 2018, made a small cart,the metal frame and wheel were from neighbor's junk (没用过一次,也不知道用不用,咸的):

13. in 2016, built a small garden (4.5x5.5 meter):

14. Planted 6-8 apple and pear trees (this is the fifth year) from seeds, gave another 4-5 to neighbors and friends:

15. Painted on the deck:

可能还有,现在只想到这些。
