Accomplishments
This weekend was filled with accomplishments.
First, Brian made his maiden voyage into the attic. He was able to drop ethernet cable down behind the wall where the build-in desk in the kitchen is located. We now have a fully functional desktop computer in the main part of our house! No more are the frigid ventures into the depths of the office.
Second, we finally agreed on a paint color for the front living room. There were three different 'tester' colors on the wall before we decided on a completely different color named Revere Pewter.
Third, we moved the wine fridge out of the office and into the garage. Brian borrowed a dolly from a lady at work which made it fairly easy to maneuver the beast.
Last but certainly not least, we moved all the shelves around in the garage and are now able to park both cars in the garage! We were starting to fight over who had to take the car that sat outside overnight because of the scraping required. Moving shelves around required disassembling a huge shelving unit created by the last owner. I think there were at least 30 2x4s and massive pieces of plywood. Everything is properly arranged and stored.
It's amazing what we are able to get done when we know both of our parents will be visiting in the next month!

Great Job. Sounds like a very productive weekend. B..... two words: Wireless Technology. :)
I can't wait to see the "new" garage. Bravo!! Post a pic? Did "B" need to istall a whole new ethernet box in the wall as well ?
Two words.
Wire...less.

Say what you want...bla bla bla...you guys haven't LIVED until you've crawled up to your elbows in cellulose insulation with a spool of CAT5E hanging from your belt. (Jay, if you don't believe me, I bet Ron Strand could tell you some GREAT war stories)
On the whole, it was a much more satisfying experience than copping out and getting a new wireless router. It's screaming fast too!
at the expense of being a 'GEEK' try 802.11 'G' with a repeater... "screaming wireless". (yes, i have run cat5 through the attic, but our house was built back in the 8th century, so there's no insulation; something that comes in nicely during -12 degree nights.)
But I do love the fact that April blogg'd a comment back to snowman and myself. :) 'love it'.
Get that man room ready.
Ok first comment, you have a wine fridge? Wine cellar or cabinet yes, but fridge means Brian is getting toasted on the chardonnay. Second, all of you guys know nothing about attics until you try getting into one when the temperature is 117 outside. That makes the attic one hot sauna.
