    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I managed to get my new cable run from the switch to the light fitting. I got a brace screwed into place but I'm not thrilled with it, I couldn't quite get the screwdriver bits I needed into place so it doesn't feel as solid as I'd like. That said I can pull down on it and it doesn't move...

    What should be free?

    One of the most basic rules of economics - the only way one person can receive something without working for it is if another person works for it without receiving it.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    The dining room looks odd with a hole in the ceiling where the light fitting used to be. I think I've figured out a way to secure a suitable back box into place if a brace between two joists doesn't fit. Because there are two nails that once held the support strut in place, and I can't remove...

    Type with your eyes closed

    OK, if you insist. I haven't done anything like this for a while so it will be interesting to see just how accurate it is. ETA (with eyes open): I'm pretty pleased with that.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I decided to take down a light fitting that my wife and I have never liked. I was wary of just what I'd find behind it. It turned out that removing the fitting was easy enough but for some reason whoever put the back box in used both nails and screws to secure it. Pulling out two 3" nails from...

    Rural area vs The city

    Young? Seriously? I left the city for a rural area in my mid-40s. I started a total home overhaul project (literally ripping apart just about everything and rebuilding it) when I wasn't far shy of 50.

    Rural area vs The city

    Ha, I remember living next door to a couple with a teenage son who would shout at them a lot. Sometimes when the shouting matches paused for breath we were tempted to cheer and applaud.

    What age do you pick

    If I could keep the life experience I currently have but go back to being in my early 20s and stay there I think I'd go for that. I'd like to think I'm a better person now than I was then, largely through life experience, but I would like to regain some of the vitality of being younger. Not...

    Your keyboard and mouse

    I haven't cared about brand of keyboard and mouse for a long time. I just don't want a mouse that's covered with buttons all over the top and down the sides, they just get in the way. I go for wireless on both. The combo I am currently using are Logitech and I have no idea how old they are. Old...

    Rural area vs The city

    I must admit I did like being able to get around on foot for most of my day to day requirements when I lived in the city. It was really nice only putting 2000 miles a year on my car. The lack of space does get tedious. Unless you're incredibly wealthy having lots of space in the city isn't an...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    My wife has gone for her haircut. Originally the plan was for her to do the grocery shopping afterwards but we figured we can leave that until next week. So I'll get busy connecting the other end of the cable for the ceiling fan so we can use that. It won't make a huge difference just yet but...

    Rural area vs The city

    The older I get the more remote I want to be. I like having amenities on hand but increasingly prefer the extra space afforded by a more rural community.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    The fan is fitted and wired, but the other end of the cable isn't connected as yet. It was dark by the time it was hung so I decided to leave connecting it to the circuit for when I can do the work without plunging the entire downstairs into darkness. The fan looks kinda nice in place. I had...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I figured out a bracket that will work to support my fan. They cost $21 per bracket so I'm hoping the next room can work with something cheaper. I also picked up a ceiling fan to put on the bracket. Maybe I can get it fitted in the next couple of days. I also need to figure out if I can cut or...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Today's fun is a trip to the hardware store to see if I can find a bracket to support a fan given the odd ceiling I'm trying to work with. I think I know what I can do, I just want to look at it in the flesh to make sure it will work. Then I'll need an extension so I can drill a 4" hole in the...

    A home improvement

    Hard to choose a small thing given the scope of my home improvement project. If I had to choose something small I'd say the addition of ceiling fans. They make it easier to sleep at night in a literal sense. What makes it easier to sleep at night in a more metaphorical sense is the removal of...
