House report: Wednesday

[electricland]

My aunt reports:

Today for lunch we had eggs Benedict, with a decorative garnish of orange slices.

The water man came in the morning, and will install what he's supposed to install within 4 weeks. The duct man came also and the planner of same will call shortly.

It turns out that all the stuff about stairs--Dennis Newman discussed this last night--was that they were bowed. As David reports, "This has since been rectified."

Dan and David are working on the box in the first floor bow window. J, you do not want it to be a seat, but rather storage.

Dan carried back a 4x4" to start to put together the half wall for the third floor stairwell.

The trucklet went in for repairs yesterday, and all is well.

Discussion ensued on internet hook-up. It was, as Ken Anderson defines it, a manly conversation: full of letters and numbers. RJ45, CAD5, VoIP, bluetooth. It is for you two to decide, but the consensus seemed to be that hard-wired hook-up would be more robust--and not hard because the walls are out. Wireless, however, lets you roam with your computer. Or, more jacks could be put in. Will you want wired or wireless? Would you like to share a router? Would make sense. Probably should be in the second floor because the walls aren't brick. If hard-wired, where would you like your computers set up? There could be more base plugs put in those locations to avoid the use of power bars. (I think I've got all this right, but I'm not sure.)

Cheers, H
