Winter Progress Report and Happy holidays
OK,
A real post about real things.
So far I have been pretty happy that this winter has been very very warm. No complaints and no vrazy expensive heating bills. 8^) Ok, the few really cold days did give me a chance to enjoy the help of my fancy insulation from the project last summer. Heck, I used some of the radiant stuff as window plastic in what is now the master closet. 8^) It really helps. For his birthday my brother managed to get his car stolen. Again making me ask what the hell I am doing here. This winter there are things to be done. I desperiatly need to get the baseboards installed in all of the rooms that have been rebuilt. Study, bathrooms, bedrooms all need new baseboards, shoe molding and the crazy caps that are on the basebaords all over the house. I figure that I will do that after the downstairs 1/2 bath from hell has it’s new sink, and perhapse a full paint job. 8^P As soon as the weather gets better replacement windows are going in all over the place as well. If I dont watch out winter will be almost as busy as summer. This summer *should* be much easier than they have been though. I am only doing the attic this year. Its a big project though. But at least no plaster remains will be lingering in the downstairs, and it has to be done in chunks with lots of waiting between them. Some of the attic parts are way expensive. But thanks to waiting around I have answerd a number of how the hell do I do that questions. Like get the video cable from the home theater pc to the video projector. I finally have an answer So, I finally have an answer on that one. I have decided to go with a engineerd subfloor built to take the tubes for the radiant system, ( expensive ) and get the ceiling and outside walls blown with foam insulation by a contractor ( really expensive ) Once those steps are done then the rest will go pretty quick till I get to the home theater electrinics ( kind of expensive ) and the whole new living room from Ikea ( fairly expensive due to room size ). I will be ok as long as I remember not to go crazy on the paint job and try to put a crazy faux finnish on these walls. 8^P
Ohh and I do have a new video out..
getting this one done became an act of frustration… I had it mostly doen but needing serious work but sitting around on my hard drive till I finally decided that I needed to just get it doen before the end of the year. I also wanted it to be the last video made on that box and the new machine was on its way
