They got a lot more accomplished on day 3 than I expected. When Danyel and I spoke in the morning we discussed only the hallways, master bedroom and the TV room. As it was, the hallways, master bedroom, back room, guest room, gym and about 1/3 of Michelle’s office was floored by the time they … Continue reading New Hardwood Floors – Day 3
Crumb! I just realized that I had totally messed up my focus on the “before” pictures and now it’s too late to retake them. 🙁 I’ve been pretty tired lately with this renovation prep and didn’t even notice when I was viewing the pics online on a real screen!! Sorry! Hopefully the pictures can still … Continue reading New Hardwood Floors – Day 1 (and Day 2)
Two days prior to the first day of work on the new Hardwood floors we began moving stuff out of the carpeted rooms. The evening of the day before (this was a Monday so we were at work during the day) we finished most everything else and were ready. Here is what the rooms looked … Continue reading New Hardwood Floors – Before Day 1
How important are the files on your computer to you? Can you afford to lose any of them? Maybe. Can you afford to lose all of them? It probably wouldn’t kill you. It’s just data after all.

I am pleased to report that … Continue reading Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Denoument
I’ve fallen a bit behind on my processing of pictures from the summer but I’ve finally managed to post our Panama City Beach pictures. Some highlights:
It wasn’t until I was finally able to sit down with all (34) of the documents from the refinance that I noticed some anomalies. It turns out that the $250 credit for working for my current employer that had been represented in the “Good Faith Estimate” was missing. I’ve contacted George Connolly twice now by … Continue reading Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Ongoing
It snowed today, which is a relatively unusual event for those of us who live in the South. It was supposed to be pretty spectacular so I thought I’d take a time lapse series of it to show how it progressed. Well, it wasn’t all *that* spectacular, but here are the pictures nonetheless: Click on … Continue reading A rare snow in Marietta
Boy! Talk about “Edgy”. Do NOT read this comic strip if you are easily offended. But I find that the humor here absolutely tickles me. You have been warned! Click the image above or click here.
When natural gas prices went through the roof I took a look at our heating system. We have a single central forced air system that supplies our entire house. This isn’t terribly unreasonable considering that we live in a single story ranch (no basement, no steps at all). But, even with a programmable electronic thermostat, … Continue reading Kill A Watt EZ P4460 – DeLonghi SafeHeat radiator
