I've only posted a couple of the dozens of videos we have of Olivia singing and performing in musicals (including the National Anthem dozens of times). I'm so proud of her dedication to what she loves (well, in addition to her parents). Also, visit my RUclips channel, Revel Lights, which I use to post stuff about my computerized Christmas lights. These include a few how-to videos, as well as some of the songs in my Christmas lights show. I apologize for the somewhat underexposed videos of my lights in action (hey, I'm not a trained professional). The lights are much, much brighter in real-life.

Mike's 2023 Christmas Lights
Просмотров 94Год назад
Mike created a festive atmosphere of lights inside and outside his home. He wrapped a lot of "presents" mounted on the walls, hung garland until there were no more places to hang garland, created a really unique family tree, hung ornaments from handmade light fixtures, and decked the front yard and porch with lights, wreaths, presents, animals, and some gnomes growing out of his recently plante...
Grinding a Tree Stump in Front Yard
Просмотров 287Год назад
I hired a contractor to grind the stump left by my 33 year old plum tree that blew down in the January 2023 California high winds. Luckily, the tree fell perfectly parallel to the house, so there was no structural damage. The plum tree has relatively hard wood, but the grinding was uneventful. The contractor operated the Vermeer SC70TX stump cutter with a remote control. The cutter is specifica...
Adding Blow-in Insulation to My Home’s Two Attics
Просмотров 37Год назад
I hired a company to bring my two attics’ insulation back up to current minimum code (R38, or about 12" to 16"). About 40% of the living space in my house is covered by an attic (e.g., some of the bedrooms and the kitchen). The remaining 60% (e.g., dining, living, and family rooms) have higher ceilings and no attic. Therefore, the energy and cost savings I will see from adding this additional a...

In addition to the Jura S8, I also purchased and attached the Jura Cooling Control, which holds and refrigerates milk. I also made my first cappuccino on the machine. The set up includes a flushing of the machine's water filter, which produced the greyish water.
Dethatch Backyard (one of five)
Просмотров 113 года назад
A simple dethatching effort to remove some of the dead grass and live moss in this area that is mostly shaded by evergreen trees. I discovered while dethatching here that one of the Rain Bird oscillating sprinklers was not covering this area of the lawn, which led to this lawn being dry. I fixed the sprinkler.

More dethatching of the back yard. Nothing earthshaking here.

Just more dethatching the back yard. The area that is very green had very little dead grass.

The final video of dethatching my back yard. This area is particularly dry because I am conserving water (here in California), and this area gets direct sun all day beginning at about 9:00 AM.
Remove Tree Root that was Sucking all the Water out of the Lawn
Просмотров 284 года назад
I first tried using a 5' steel digging pole to remove this root from my lawn, but the root (on the right side of this video) was too large and buried. So, I used my Milwaukee demolition hammer to break apart the approximately 3" thick root. More roots are shown at the end of the video.
