Here’s the nearly finished laundry pedestal with a coat of primer. The odd cutout in the back is for the dryer vent. The drawer fronts make it look symmetrical.
I’ll show a shot when it’s done and in place
Bought a truck to help haul things to and from the new house
1988 F250 4×4.
I call it ‘Hulk’. The wife called it ‘Cookie Monster’. Might be more appropriate.
Price was right.
Demo work on the new house
Did some demo work on the house tonight. Opening up the kitchen to the dining room and removing the pantry (there’s another just around the corner).
Next step is to remove the 2×4’s.
The Saw….arrived
Assembly will come soon!
Bought a table saw…
Steel City Tool Works. Pretty excited to get this thing and get started on building cabinets and other stuff for the new house. Delivery May 22nd…
Historic Detroit buildings
Great web site showing the history of Detroit…and a very sad site.
See here.
The Nest…for the nest
Just picked up a couple of these for the new house.
I’m pretty geeked to see how these plus some other work we are going to be doing will affect the heating and cooling costs of house. Give it’s size those costs are substantial (at least they are to me).
Visualization of Wind in the U.S. – Amazing!
This is well…incredibly cool.

Mac OS X and keyboard shortcuts
A couple of good reference pages for Mac OS X and keyboard shortcuts. I’m posting these because I have had several requests for information about these. Also, people seem surprised that you can create MORE shortcuts for an application via System Preferences.

My weekend of demolition
A picture from this weekend. Removing the tile and mortar bed. Tried to remove just the tile but the mortar bed wanted to come up as well.
This is NOT something you want to do if you can avoid it.
