Saturday we finished the basement floor. The last 3 pieces were the toughest to cut. The wall juts out at a silly angle and we had to undercut the door frame as well. The carpet transition strip was also a pain to install since I had to drill holes in the concrete floor, push in Read More …

Pergo Progress
We spent another 3 hours on the basement office floor yesterday and it’s coming along quite nicely. Traci found a nick in one plank, so tonight I have to rip out 3 layers and replace one plank. But that won’t take long. The biggest slow down is cutting every 3rd board. If I’m motivated I Read More …
Terror Terror Everywhere but not a damn thing here
How quickly we tire. In the beginning we had color coded terror alert levels, no doubt designed to tell people quickly what the threat and safety levels were in the country. Headlines read “threat level at Orange” or “Washington lowers threat level to Yellow”. Then the color wasn’t enough. Deep Orange crept in. Now even Read More …
The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul
Well, that’s most Sunday’s, but not today. After all these web updates Dan said “Let’s go see the Matrix Reloaded”. So we did. Good movie. It’s nice to see people being hit up with good eternal questions on the nature of reality and what is real. This movie delivers a lot of thought and a Read More …
A rare website update!
I’ve done a slight update to the main WireWoods House website. I’ve tried to make it a bit easier to add pictures of things that are going on. Hopefully I’ve succeeded.

Gettingit.com
Now this is a strange site. They really have some over the top articles here. Two I found interesting and amusing right off the top are not for the feint of heart. You have been warned.
The Star Wars Kid
Some interesting links today. The Star Wars Kid is interesting. Poor kid has become something of an internet phenomenon now. Now that he has been identified it looks like he’ll even be rewarded for his antics. At first I thought “another amusing little story”. But when I read the article about his identity being discovered Read More …
We have angered the electricity gods
In addition to Saturday’s little romp with disintegrating power lines, Sunday before we left town for the day all of Powell lost power. Then last night as we were settling in for our nightly hibernation around midnight, what happens? Big storm, nice lighting flash and POOF goes the power! There I go again, down to Read More …
The Curse strikes again
Saturday May 10th was another day of the curse. The plan was to wake up early and start working on our basement office floor, prepping the floor and installing Pergo. But the Curse had other plans for us. At 4:30 A.M. I awoke to the tintinnabulation of the myriad UPS’s around the house complaining that Read More …
