Thursday Thirteen


Thirteen Things about Mikey's home that we want to improve.



1. Put in thermopane windows.

2. Raise the floor of the Sunroom and put radiant hot water heater pipes under.

3. Cut the wall between the Sunroom and the Kitchen just below where the cabinets are now and open that up so we can serve light meals in the Sunroom.

4. Fix the plumbing in the laundry area so the water flows decently.

5. Push out the window wall of the Kitchen in order to make a breakfast nook.

6. Do some finishing of the basement. This may be dreaming though, as it is a dirt floor and stone slabs instead of a poured foundation.

7. Repaint the house completely, including the front porch.

8. Put in a back porch, I'd like to put it over the sunroom, not sure what L has in mind.

9. Completely rip apart the "attic", pull the lanoleum, the wainscoating, then insulate, clean and make into a real room preferrabley for "A".

10. Put a bow or bay window in the "home office" make it into a small guest room.

11. Take "A's" room and make it into a "home office" and the entrance to the back porch.

12. Purchase the "lot" next door and make our land into a double lot, thus leaving room for pushing the kitchen out that way.

13. Buy a chateau outside of Paris. Ok not strictly home improvment, just general "digs" improvement. :-)

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
