我装修补过的东西。年代可能有误,但不会差太多。
1. In 2002, installed two garage door openers.
2002 年买的地,看着建起来的新房,3个邻居家的garage door opener都是professional装的。室友说让professional去装,我说他们也是从装第一次开始的。所以我自己装了。照着opener的说明书,看着邻居家装好的样子,用 stud finder找出哪里有在dry wall里面的木头, 钻孔,把铁条装好,装好放链子的柱子,链子,opener,开关,红外发摄及接受器,key pads, programmed the code for remote controls。
注意两个装得不一样,第二个省了点材料:
2. In 2002,buried two drainage pipes for rain water under the lawn (one 6-7 m, the other 10-15 m),引到小树林里:
