Emotionally, I feel busy, very busy… Not quite over-whelmed, however I’ll have some long days and nights ahead of me if I’m to finish all that I’d like to finish.
Friday -
Friday evening, Mali and I when shopping for most of the hardware we needed to finish up our kitchen. We purchased our faucet and a small base cabinet unit, to use next to our fridge, from Ikea. We’ll probably return once more to purchase a bar table once we get the kitchen in order. We then went to Lowe’s to pick up the rest of the hardware that we needed for the plumbing and electrical work that we planned on doing this weekend.
Saturday -
We tore out our kitchen sink on Saturday. I managed to get most, of the plumbing done, and I prepped the dishwasher for installation. We cut the piece of wood that we’re going to use as our end panel and Mali began painting it, as well as the drawers from the buffet table that we’ll be using in what will become our formal dining room.
Sunday -
Finished the plumbing work and began prepping the sink for installation. We also cut notches out of the counter top to accommodate the sink and prepared the sink cabinet by removing the front and rear boards that provided stiffening support (I’m not too worried about it, but we’ll see how well it holds up). The Ikea sink provides to long rods to use a stiffeners; I installed one of them, but will have to wait to see where to install the 2nd. Unfortunately, since we were still waiting for paint to dry, we didn’t get much else done. Had lunch w/ Gabe & Rahul @ Cuba Libre. Upon returning from lunch, I installed the new faucet on our sink, as well as the included strainer and the strainer/garbage disposal mounting unit.
Monday -
- Tapes
- Started using our new secure-wireless network, now w/ 802.11 A and N; not that I have the hardware to utilize these new features.
- RAM Upgrade for a PowerBook G4 = DONE
At home, I installed the power cord for the garbage disposal. I’ll have to spend some time working on routing the new power receptacle and switch later this week. I then read up for class.
Tuesday -
- Updated Ubuntu desktop, took some time to get VMware Workstation back in order (it always does).
Not much else planned for today. I have to help Vasantha test a new version of Dovecot and write a short paper for my class tonight. I won’t be doing much @ home tonight since I’ll be getting home so late in the evening.
