about ten years ago I got a new set of pots and hung them up on the kitchen wall…

over the last year I have replaced a few of them and the new pans fit well on the original screws…

except for the lid for one of the new pots… it was just a bit too close to the bottom of the largest pan… my solution had been to hang the lid on top of the pot it worked with…

yesterday morning I decided to move the screw with my new Christmas screwdriver…

it was a bit of a process, as I had to find the correct bit, and figure out how to reverse the direction on the screwdriver, lol…

took about ten minutes total and now the lid finally has its own spot again…

interesting how some days those big girl pants fit so well…

warped…

there has been a loose board on the lower deck for quite some time now, which has tried to trip people up for ages…

it was a bit warped and we had tried screwing it down at the two ends, but clearly the wood underneath was not in good condition in those spots… recently, the hose got stuck in it, lol…

finally, I lifted it right up and checked underneath only to discover that the screws in the middle were too short, so I brought out the drill and screwed in much longer ones…

and now it is no longer moving… yay me;-)…

perfect…

Friday was a beautiful semi-warm and sunny day…

I spent some time reading on the upper deck and when it warmed up a bit I found the screws for the hammock, removed the umbrella, laid the whole thing down, and attached all four legs tightly… put everything back together and then added a couple of cushions to the hammock chair and it is now perfect;-)… I may have had a short nap in it while taking a break from reading…

I am very happy as the shape of this chair is much more comfortable than the previous one… I think it will get more use, but we shall see…

a little later, I used the fishnet in the bathtub pond to clean out all the dead water hyacinths from last year… then I brought out the wet-vac and sucked out the dead leaves and water… next I put together the pieces for the new pump and set it into the pond… after filling it up, turned on the pump and it worked… yay…
