Master Bathroom Remodel Weekend Number 11

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.

Remove the faucets from the vanity

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

My Serotta Rapid Tour

Well, I finally decided to get Sylvia, my girlfriend to take pictures of me on my bike. I have been bike commuting to work for about 5 weeks this summmer. I average 20-30 miles a day and about 100-150 miles a week. I am preparing for a 100-mile ride at the end of August in Wichita Falls Texas called the Hotter 'n Hell 100 . When I first got to Texas I could not ride 20 miles during the summer heat, but now I can do it just fine. I did have to make some adaptations to my paradigm for cycling in Oregon to cycling here in Austin. I added two water bottles to my bike. I put sports drink powder in them. I use them to hydrate in addition to using my water bladder on my back I had to give up on cloth headbands to prevent sweat from getting in my eyes. I purchased a gutter guard, which is a plastic headband with a gutter that allows the sweat to drip down the side of your face and not into your eyes. I have gotten use to really sweating when I ride. I use to hate head...

Lighting home projects

Image
I finished a number of lighting projects this weekend at the homestead.  These projects have been hanging around for a long time.  +Sylvia Wormley wanted a ceiling fan over the kitchen table.  She also wanted the chandelier moved from above the kitchen table into the entryway.  When we bought the home there were some old T12 florescent bulb lights present. I replaced them with some cheap odd sized florescent bulbs soon after we moved in.  The replacement lighting did not last long so version one of the under counter lighting was replaced with version two lighting, LED lights. Old school switch plate covers.  I am also going to replace all of the old lighting switches from the old school plates and flippers.  When I painted the walls I painted the cover plates as a temporary measure for dealing with the faded bone colored fixtures. New school switch plate covers The new covers will include the modern square switches with the flat rocker flipp...

This week I walked the same course 5 times

I wanted to walk 25 miles this week so I selected a course that would loop 5 miles. I decided to make a goal of walking 1,000 miles this year just like I made a goal to run 1,000 miles in 2008.  The main point of my goals and keeping track of the miles is to make a game out of consistent exercise.  For me walking is sustainable exercise that allows me to relax and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here is a map of the loop from my house around the Doublegate Golf Course. Below is a summary report of my walks for this week Progress Summary Report for wormlelo Count: 5 Activities Distance: 25.40 mi Time: 6:11:35 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 318 ft Avg Speed: 4.1 mph Calories: 2,802 C Max Speed: 13.5 mph Last month I walked 146 miles, and this month I want to walk 150 miles.  I could not have realized that these types of goals were possible without measurement.  I have been tracking my walking using my Garmin 405 so with the knowledge of this walking data I can set effective goals. Having this ...
