Little More
Skipped out Wednesday night to head to the bar. That’s got to stop. Just doesn’t have the appeal it used to have. Maybe it’s the fact I’m still getting up every night with Lauren and it’s too hard to hit the bar and get up in the middle of the night on a weeknight. Maybe […]
Pellet Comparison
I came up with a new strategy for heating with our pellet stove. Actually it’s a known strategy by pellet burners all over. I just figured it out for myself. Last year we were only using it to supplement heat for the house and mainly on downstairs. Because it was just supplemental, I wasn’t too […]
Little Progress
Managed to spend some time on the shelves last night. First started with rewiring the receptacle, then realized I had the wrong parts. Moved onto more shelving. In the middle of things Jen and I changed direction, made some new measurements and mis-counted the number of shelves. So far we’re back on track and moving […]
94% for Height
Lauren is 94% taller than the population of kids her age (11 months), but only weighs more than 44%. She’s nearly a bean pole. She eats like a horse. Now we know where all that food is going. – b
Didn’t Get Very Far
After blowing 2 hours because of my own knucklehead inattentiveness in setting up a dehumidifier at Grandmas house, I got to work on the new storage area. As of 10:30 last night, I wasn’t even halfway. Though I had lots of help Throughout the day. There are two issues that are making this difficult. The […]
Some Progress
Amongst other little chores and watching Lauren while Mom and Abigail were out at Spanish class, I managed to get some things started on the storage project completion. Mostly moved all the stuff that needs proper storage from the space where the shelves are going to the hallway. Next preparation step is removing the current […]
Finish Storage Project
The project swap resulted in finishing the storage project, which is a good thing. I don’t like leaving unfinished projects around. The trailer only moved up the list, because we thought we were going to need it. I got all the materials last night. We drew up the plans the night before. Should have it […]
Project Swap
Might put the trailer project on hold. The original “drive” to get it done has kind of changed, so maybe that time is better spent doing something else? I’m all done watching season 2 of “The Walking Dead” on Netflix, so that’s not an option. Maybe I get back to the storage and “office” project […]
Heat Project
Shortly after buying our house (nearly 2 years), we put in a pellet stove for our central heat. The house has a central forced air propane furnace, but propane ain’t cheap. Pellets were at least cheaper. It worked great for just Jen and myself. The main living areas were heated nicely, while our bedroom (farthest […]
Slow Going
Only managed a lift/support mechanism tonight to make it easier to get at what I need to get at. If I don’t go to the bar tomorrow night, I’ll start some grinding and possibly some welding. All in preparation for the installation of the uprights. I did find some 1/2″ steel pipe in the garage […]
