Phone’s, Network’s and laptops.

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Today I tried to get the connections sorted to the office, with the phoneline failing to deliver I was starting to wonder if it had been such a good idea.. I finally managed to cobble together a working connection thanks to my idea of running twice as many cables as needed for everything in the [...]

Concrete!!!

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Ok today was finish up day for the Shed.. So me and Rahl started off by shuttering up the old path and then proceeded to pour lots of concrete onto it took most of the day and I was a little annoyed as I had hoped to get it sorted in the morning giving me [...]

Go Ideas turn sour..

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

I decided to make a start on removing the shower today as I Noticed it had developed a crack yesterday.. Bad Idea though.. I found that the shower had never been installed correctly and for the past 5 years it has been rotting the bathroom/kitchen wall! Looks like I caught it just in time though [...]

PC’s

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Rahl’s parts arrived today so I spent a couple of hours getting that all working, of course his old PC case didn’t have a 12v cable for the AMD64 so I had to rush out and buy a new case for him, but overall I think it’s a damn good machine. In fact it’s so [...]

Flat pack.

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Managed to order Rahl’s bits today so they should all arrive tomorrow, I told him to drop off his machine and I’d upgrade it while he was at work so he could pick it up on the way home tomorrow. Went out and bought a blind and door mat for the office today too, so [...]

I floored him!

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Well managed to get about a third of the floor laid today.. Was a bit of a struggle to get started (as normal with laminate) but once I had managed to get to about the 4th one in it was going down pretty well. A surveyor turned up to examine the ceiling in the computer [...]

Slowly does it..

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Woke up this morning feeling really Ill.. No energy at all.. Fell asleep on the sofa sitting upright 3 or four times during the day so nothing got done in the Office today, shame as I had planned on finishing it. A little annoyed truth be told as haven’t felt this bad in ages.. Hope [...]

Well plastered

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

Today the patching plaster was applied to the walls and ceiling, it has changed the look of the room a great deal, after placing sections of plasterboard around the pillars on each side and the window and door frame it was then just a matter of taping and joining the boards while Jasper ran over [...]
