Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Fixed the hot tub I hope. The flow switch has been acting up for a while put a new one in. Also been getting a overheat warning lately so I changed the overheat sensor. Strange thing was the pump for the heater wasn't running so it could have been overheating but all the sudden it started while I was trying to troubleshoot. Has been good ever since I will keep an eye on it.

Good start , maybe consider getting some oak plugs and countersinking the screws for neater look . You’ll have trouble getting red oak to stain close to the plank floor , use white oak next time .

I ended up covering the oak with an aluminum transition strip as it looked better (according to the wife). It evened out some small height stuff too.
 
Ok next project. How do I fish an Ethernet cable through a crawl space and round a 90 degree corner? There’s a couple of HVAC ducts scattered about but not in a direct line of sight from where I can poke the cable into.

2 sets of fibreglass fish rods? One with the cable and the other with a hook to grab the end? Not sure I’ll be able to eyeball this though from anywhere.

It’s a real crawl space. 20 year old me would have got in there with some effort. Me now, not a chance in hell.

Mine runs along the baseboards and through walls in the basement, then up the side of a kitchen cupboard, through the ceiling to the linen closet, into the attic and then down through individual closets and along baseboards. There is a switch at each connection point. Everything is accessible if there’s a problem

Powered internet switches? Haven’t looked into what I need to sort this out. I recently switched providers and got Bell's 3GBS fibe service and would like to spread that more round the house. The pods are good, I have 1GBS or more service in most of the house now through WiFi but I need at least one of the pods to have wired backhaul.
 
Picked up one of these today at a yard sale for $80.
Practically brand new. Came with a spare chain too.

I think it was a good deal.
