Outside Of Here

[ElChingon]

I'm thinking about unsticking this thread. It seems to hold up at least somewhat on it's own. Any objections?

Only if you unstick the other threads which are eating up space at the beginning, lets leave quality over redundancy.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Well, there's only two more stuck threads. The rules where are going to be stuck forever. And the news about Swordsman's passing, which I'm not quite ready to unstick just yet. Though I suppose I could unstick this and that at the same time. Hmmm....

Leaving for USA in a couple hours. I hear rumors the McRib is back. Mickey D's first US stop

Finally can fix the house.

mini loft in my bedroom. Mattress was for kids to sleep on

I think someone was a raiders fan. note rafters no insulation of any kind. Made real nice sounds in the rain though.

Insulation and dry wall for the loft

Bye bye raider

Relocating door. space to left will be closet.

Bedroom door will move here much closer to kitchen and bathroom.

View from bedroom into new closet

Veiw from new arch towards my bedroom. First door on left will be my walk-in closet, 2nd door on left is my bathroom.

 

[krebs303]

New fan and light in my room

Didn't imagine you as a modern human at all, what with you being an illegal space alien and greek signatures.

Have you rewired the place as well or just new fittings?

 

[krebs303]

Yes new wiring where needed. and will be a proper 3 wire with ground

me being human is open for debate

 

[ramjambunath]

Nice.
I live in an ancient room with what used to be 25-30 year old aluminium wiring. The wires started melting and there was no power for 2 days before the landlord finally decided to change to copper. Anti bandwagonist I assume.

 

[krebs303]

some of the wiring here was patched together with speaker wire.

 

[ramjambunath]

How? Most importantly who and why? Whoever did it deserves an award of some sort.

 

[krebs303]

I'm sure the gangster who lived here before me did a lot of the crappy repairs. He rented the place and "la bruja flaca" who owned it wouldn't pay for repairs.

Whoever built the house didn't seem to possess a tape measure, level or square

 

[ramjambunath]

Maybe he wasn't a raiders fan but just proud of his occupation. Is the room a parallelogram or a trapezium?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

REminds me of a family I know who bought a house they knew was crappy. They wanted to retile the walls of ghe bathroom and everything was so off-kilter they just couldn't do it.

Susan

 

[krebs303]

ram
a trapezium that is a good inch or so higher in the SE corner than the NW

Susan
they need to import some Mexican workers. the off kilter walls don't seem to phase them at all

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

lol, these good stuffy Germans were quite upset.....

krebs, man.... is that you with the cap on..you look big...

Zam you make me smile....ha. like your style
Krebs you are 6'8" ..zow! the arches are a good fit for you then...home for big guys

I'm more the size of Emma Pooley..I may be taller I'm 5'5"
it's interesting to me the juxtaposition of who you imagine behind the forum names and reality

 

[ramjambunath]

Krebs, it's a good place to practise putting.

 

[krebs303]

I think it is to drain water when the roof leaks

 

[ramjambunath]

That's awfully sophisticated for a person who can't make straight walls, I'd have thought that buckets would do the trick. Gangster feng shui?

 

[krebs303]

Bought a MagicJack Plus and wireless phone when I was in the States. No more having to have the computer turned on and having to close all other programs to make a call. Now I have 2 MJ's and 2 numbers. The regular MJ will come in handy it now can travel with me. My $10 Virgin Mobile cell phone is horrible but only $20 for 3 months
oh yeah the MJ Plus has excellent quality. sounds like a landline

 

[krebs303]

This going to be nice having view out of both windows. Should be sleeping in here tonight.
