Day 43

It was an interesting day. Ellen got almost all of the painting in the apartment done. She only has one door left to do.

Tomorrow's garbage day, so I hauled out the garbage. I also took a bunch of the junk that the previous owners had left in the well house and put it in the can. They also left some nuts and bolts in there that I sorted and moved to my parts cabinet in the garage.

I fixed the door seal on another door that the previous owners had messed up. Then I put a door seal on the apartment's garage door. I also sanded the new table some more. Now it's ready for Ellen to put on the second coat. Finally, I finished sorting the rest of the CD's. There's still more than two large boxes of them that didn't fit in the CD storage cabinet.

The IR extender came today so I installed it after lunch. It works like a champ. I need to get another cable to run to the subwoofer.

The paper started coming today. I'll have to make sure I set aside time to read it.

They were supposed to fix the dishwasher today. The service guy called to say he was coming. He asked what was wrong. When Ellen told him that it wouldn't turn on, he said look for a light switch that controls it. We found one and the dishwasher worked. So no service call, and we saved $60.

I contacted a guy from Craig's list about a table saw. He responded and we went to see it tonight. It's an old, heavily built, Craftsman. They don't build them like that anymore. For $100 it was a great buy. It was no picnic getting it off the truck though. The thing must weigh over 100 pounds.
