Deconstruction, Rehabilitation, Demolition and Rebuilding

We've been home now for almost 2 months, and yet, we still aren't done replacing furniture and decor, but we are well on our way. Right now, it's just a matter of playing the insurance game, buying what we can afford, turning in receipts, waiting for

An Exercise in Patience

The goal was to re-create the original wallpaper in our foyer that came down with the walls. What I have left is to finish the artwork inside each emblem, which is proving to be a huge pain. Here's a quick comparison: I've also got it down to the core

Let's All Thank David Ward

For letting the world now think New Albany is a city of racists: From the Chicago Tribune : "For others, like David Ward , who runs an antique shop with his wife in New Albany, the issue is race. Ward, a registered Democrat, said he will vote for McCain

!@#$%^&*

This morning someone broke into the house and stole most, if not all, of the contractors' tools that are being stored in our house during the rebuilding. Apparently, they had gotten in through the cellar door, which has never had the best lock in the

Operation: Bathroom Demolition - Bathroom 2.0

Since I had posted a while back when we were gutting the bathroom, I figured it was time for a follow up posting to show pictures of the renovations (plus, Tabitha was trying to push all of my posts off the front page, so I had to do something :) Here's

Welcome to the $ony Monopoly

How do you win a video format war? Create your own format and thumb your nose at the group that was created to avoid a format war , and then with your own format, buy out and pay off the content providers so there's no choice for consumers to decide.

One Down, Three More to Go...

I'm currently smack dab in the middle of the process of stripping about 5 layers of paint off of the bathtub exterior (including all four legs). Here's a nice before shot of a leg: Then here's the 3 hours worth of work later: I seriously don't look forward

When BluRay Attacks

Anyone recall my post on how if you got suckered into buying a BluRay player, come later this year, you are more than likely going to have to buy another once they roll out the new titles that are incompatible ? Well, those titles started rolling out

The Shuttle is not my Friend

When you are hanging out in Phoenix for a week with no car and not much within walking distance, you want the shuttle at the place you are staying to be your friend. Unfortunately, my friend it is not. I have to be a about a mile and a half down the street

The War Gets a Little More Interesting (Format War that is :)

I think that tagline pretty much sums it up. For those that don't keep up on the HD format war between HD DVD (backed by your friends that created the DVD format) and Sony's own BluRay format, today, Paramount Pictures, who was previously format neutral

The Scavengers are Out Tonight :(

It seems the city opened up a new city dump that I was not aware of. Where is it at, you may be asking yourself? The corner of E 9th and Market. The dump spans the entire block. It seems when the tenants @ the rental property on the street moved out (and
