Fios'd

Saving $50 a month and getting 2 tvs and more channels. Ran cable for the kitchen too.

Tomorrow is the big day

Adios crappy kitchen! Demo starts tomorrow at 8. Last meal in the old kitchen done in style, steak in honor of Ian's birthday on Friday.

Winter Break

Relatively productive Winter break. Lots of odds and ends taken care of on the house.

- Prepped the upstairs and downstairs door frames
- Removed the wallpaper in the stair case and upstairs area
- Installed and ran wire for 6 recessed lights in the family room
- Got the under cabinet lighting
- Got the window sill from the Hatboro lumber yard
- Wired the ethernet cable for the in-the-wall tv
- Wired the phone jack

It was a pretty quiet week for the family, we had a nice new years watching Cars 2, and Transformers. Played video games, watched TV a lot.

End of day 6

Picked up another piece of 1/4 inch drywall at hd and put it up. I'm done drywalling at this point unless I decide to do the top of the stairs. Need to make a plan to finish the rest of the walls.

End of day 5

Pulled some 1/4 inch sheets from the basement (left over from Ian's room) to do the side of the steps and finished the door area where I could. There is some water damage that has to be addressed.

End of day 4

Much better day today. Lots of odds and ends. 3 more sheets on the long wall and I demolished another section of the family room and started with the drywall there.

End of day 3

Almost finished the wall. I can't work on it anymore tonight. It was a miserable day, nothing went right. I hate this crappy house and it's no-square-anywhere walls. Need a few beers and a good night sleep to shake today off. Jamie made fajitas for my birthday which was nice.
