protip: You probably save manuals of your nerd stuff. But also save the documents that come with your various plumbing, electrical and other house stuff. (Or, better, find the PDFs.) I was able to determine that I could just replace the o-rings (~$10) instead of the entire valve cartridge (~$100).

OK, folks, I've decided I'm finally going to take the plunge¹ and add a bidet to our toilet. Time to join the civilized world and stop cutting down trees to poop!
Does anybody have a recommendation for one that's (a) reasonably good, (b) reasonably priced, and (c) self-installable by a relatively handy person?
¹Pun absolutely intended.

I still do Windows, sort of. After removing the ugly aluminum flashing that window installers love, we have…this. No flashing, porous foam in the gap. Will properly flash this after some better insulating and then trim out with cove, brick molding and lattice which might make me hate these windows slightly less. Then the challenge is finding someone to do it to the rest of the windows. Also currently seeking a good non-wood sill.

Quickly made some curtain rod hooks using an antique expansible bit and brace, and put a copper collar on each end to keep it from sliding off. The curtain itself is reversible, with a different pattern on the other side and a layer of black in between.

Housemates Tabbi and Magnus have been spending much of the last two weeks transforming the front courtyard into something nicer and more accessible for Hilde's wheelchair.

Thanks, sweaty housemates!

This erase a hole stuff is really cool. It's basically drywall spackle/joint compound in a big glue stick form. Got it on Amazon. I just patched 16 screw holes in my office with this and just a damp paper towel in 2 minutes.

Dear lord, there is no space in this breaker box from the late 1970s for a smart power meter. I give up.

I love how all these home decor/interior design inspiration websites show rooms with HUGE custom-built windows when most of us plebs have mass-manufactured tiny windows.

Pictured: What they think we're working with... what we're actually working with.

When I start my hardwood flooring business, I’ll get permission from Stevie Wonder to use his tune (my lyrics) for my radio ads. Chorus:

“I believe when I hurt my knees
This time it will be forever…”

Today my task is to finish filling in the screw holes near the edges where I couldn't fit the pneumatic nailer. I counter-sunk them. As is my wont, I am being fiddly with it and trying to match the grain and color. Which is tricky, because if you've seen one R/Q sawn beech plank, you've seen one R/Q sawn beech plank.

It’s kind of hard but it's fun when I pull it off and get the plugs to disappear.

These below of course need to be cut flush and sanded.
