Brother Do's

Now and then we drive to Round Rock to visit with Louise. Sometimes Larry ends up doing projects for her. The other day when Larry was talking to her on the phone she mentioned she might get an electric blower to help with her yard work. We have an electric blower and the only hassle with it was dealing with the extension cord. Years ago Larry bought a Wonder Winder Extension Cord Winder and it has really helped. It's a basket that hangs on the wall, you turn a crank and it winds your extension cords into it, it can store 100 feet of cord. Larry ordered her one so this morning we went to Round Rock to install it. While we were there he did a few more little projects.

First up was to install the Wonder Winder cord winder. He decided to install it by the garage door where there was a light switch. He needed to convert the light switch to a switch and a plug so he had somewhere to plug an extension cord in. He didn't have the switch so we needed to go to Lowe's to buy one. He installed the extension cord winder.

The finished project

New shower head

Louise's shower head had started leaking and was spraying water onto her wall. He found a seal had gone bad and she needed a new shower head.

She also said that her bathroom sink and the tub was taking a long time to drain. He tore both of them apart and found they were plugged up with soap and hair. He cleaned them out and reassembled them.

We then went to Lowe's where Louise bought an aerator and a plug for her sink, a shower head, ant killer and a switch/plug.

Before going back to Louise's house we went to Wendy's for lunch. Thank you, Louise for lunch.

When we got back to the house Larry replaced the shower head, installed the aerator and plug in the sink and then he converted the switch from a light switch to a switch for both a light and a plug in.

Something had gone wrong with the Alexa switch for her garage light so he reprogrammed it and it was back to working.

The last project was to transfer her pictures from her camera to her computer.

While Larry was doing his projects I played with Alice and assembled part of her jig saw puzzle.

When all the projects were finished we visited with her a bit.
