Doug's Sounding Board

I woke up on Sunday with a lot of things to do. I started off easy, paying bills and starting laundry. Then I moved on to sorting paper recycling in preparation for a recycling run. While shredding the stuff I don’t want to just go in a recycling bin it hit the full point so […]

Nicole went to SF for the weekend for Pride. I went to work in the morning and then came home and for the directions to izzy & jim’s for izzy’s birthday party. I stopped by Fry’s on the way to get Julie’s graduation present (a way to extend their wireless network) , the new Audioslave […]

This morning I got up and Nicole and I cleaned out the RV. Then I re-assembled the dining table and went on to finally install Darlene’s bathroom cabinet. I did leave out the shelves since Dar should decide where they go. There are instructions for that too so I’ll help when she decides. I still […]

This morning we moved the last few things to the tv room, and moved what we need to live to the RV (like food, tooth brushes, towels). I’m glad that’s done. Now we just need the floor guys to show up and get to work. Next weekend we can work on moving everything back in […]

Moth of our closet is moved, most of the living room is moved, most of the dining room is moved. We still need to move the stuff in our room and Nicole’s room and take care of the misc in the other rooms. Oh yeah. We also need to move the wood burning stove. It’s […]

Put up the towel rack yesterday. Still need to get a medicine cabinet. Put up the doors yesterday. Need to cut some off the bottom of the bedroom door so it can be moved… It’s not just hard to move, it’s stuck.

Cut up a few more branches to fit in to the green bin (just a few more to go). Moved all the bricks to the front and put “free” signs on it, some curtain things, and some blinds. (The bricks were taken) Picked out some new outdoor front lights at Riverside Lighting. The only had […]

It could have been. We primarily needed to return the medicine cabinet that was too big for Dar’s bathroom. We didn’t have the receipt anymore and we bought it at a different Home Depot. They ran the card I put it on and scanned the UPC on the box witht eh nifty wireless remote scanner, […]

There was bubbling in the paint. Looking on exterminator sites, this is one of the indications of termites. The painter sees no evidence and thinks that it’s from oiled wood (only want to get rid of the oil is to replace the wood). I’ll call for an inspection to see what’s up.

Yesterday we had someone come over to draw up plans for the kitchen and the master bathroom/closet. In a few weeks we’ll get to see what kinds of ideas he has in mind. He thinks it’s a tricky space. I think that’s good because people get more creative when they have restrictions on what they […]
