Screws In My Coffee

I have been in this house for about 5 years.  I am in the middle of a master bathroom remodel.  I decided to take advantage f the exposed wall in the bathroom to add cable and Ethernet connections in the wall behind our flat panel.  I also decided to pull the old phone lines out in one of my bedrooms which is my office and install Ethernet there.  I am now happily working on my CentOS 7 server, desktop machine. I have been running this server, Zaramyth.com, for a few months now.  I had it running in my front bedroom with a long Ethernet cable on the floor connected to my network.  The cable modem is in my front bedroom.  now I can work in the office on this old desktop computer with a wall mounted hard line. I had some issues understanding the wiring diagram on my LeGrand Keystone jacks.  I purchased a cheap cable tester and resolved the issues once I wrapped by brain around how I had the wires crossed. Now that I have an easily accessible Linux desktop in my office, I will start

Milestone was reached this weekend.  As a Valentine's Day present to my wife I got all of the sheet rock removed from the bathroom.  This weekend I had to engineer removing a large mirror without breaking it and remove the vanity so that we can donate it to the Habitat for Humanity Restore.  It takes time removing stuff for a remodel so that you can recycle or reuse the material that you remove. Removing the Mirror Remove the faucets from the vanity Mirror removed I moved the mirror with the help of two suction cups, plywood and my handy straps. The mirror will get a new life with a wood frame somewhere in the master bedroom Removing the Sink Preparing to remove the vanity Sink on two 2x4 salvaged from bathroorm Slid the sink down to the floor using 2x4 as ramp Hauled sink to the driveway with my trusty dolly and a strap Removed the sink base using my dolly Exposed wall with sink removed. Bare walls to the studs Bare

Sophie and I celebrated Valentine's Day with a Saturday night comedy club dinner with friends. We are at Chehaw Park and it was wonderful.
