- One of the issues with listening to a long playlist of Prince music is having to rush to the computer to hit the fast forward button every few songs because you realize the kids are in the room.
- The 12+ foot long piece of laminate countertop is going to be repurposed in the basement family room at some time in the future. In the meantime, I’m paying a professional to make and cut the large, interlocking countertops for the kitchen.
- Half of success is admitting when it’s a bad idea to even attempt something.
- While troubleshooting the air conditioning unit tonight, the housing for its fuses snapped in half while I was removing it.
- That’s what I get for trying to not have an ambulance in my front yard.
- It’s never a good thing when the guy at the home improvement store looks at the part in your hand and says “Huh, not sure if they make those anymore”
- I found the part at the fourth electrical supply store I went to. They found it in a box nobody had looked in for about 20 years.
- I love sending emails that boil down to “Hey, you remember when you gave me a temporary, 120 day license for the software I bought from you? Well, it’s day 127, and I’m dead in the water.”

/ April 23, 2016I did literally every single part of remodeling the kitchen in my last house – tile floor, cabinets, wiring, plumbing – except cutting the counter tops. I’d have to say you made the right call there.

/ April 25, 2016Buy spares, Tom. Lots of them. That way, you’ll never have another problem with the fuse on your a/c.
Of course, every other component will then fail, one at a time.
