The Quarky Engineer

I moved my cable modem and temp internet fw down to the server room, patched the cable over RG11 , and moved a temp AP as well.

I also have some of the fiber routed, and a whole bunch left to do…. and then there are the Cat6A drops… #terminationisfun!

House progress has slowed down due to working limitations, but the interior painting is almost complete. Next up is likely hardwood floor work, which is another category of work that can happen in our current social distance rules since the sander is wearing a respirator and no one else is in the house.

I have been working a bit on electrical stuff and driveway lighting, and Scott Rowland has been out on the back desk working on the glass panels. No idea when we will be done.

As an aside, I have not talked about Covid much in my feed, and I plan on keeping it that way. I have many many friends who are talking, informing, educating, and help out with our understanding of this pandemic. Like many of my other mathematical leaning friends I too have models, mathematica sheets, and excel graphs helping me understand and track things. I am thinking every day about how this is affecting all of us, and I am hoping our efforts help soften the curve.

I hope I can offer some distraction from time to time that tickles the mind, or at least makes you think ‘is that guy crazy’?….. Yes, my mother had me tested.

UPS in place now. Still need to do some wiring.

Audrey was very happy to get out of the house and go explore the new house. She had time to run around the forest, watch the eagles fly overhead, and ask me why the doors are so tall.

It was a beautiful day in Oregon today… if you ignore the incoming ‘top of the food chain resetting’ slap from mother nature.

The front entrance concrete is done and curing, adding another ~30 yards of concrete to the house. Painting continues inside, with a few more coats of final paint to go. Fortunately as things slow down I’ll be able pick up a lot of the slack. This weekend I’ll be doing electrical finish work upstairs, and some terminations downstairs.

Spring eh….. time for some more Wiring.

Sunday. A day at the Church of Terminations. 1 done, 799 left.

Cabinets are getting stained (some will also get painted), and main stair rail is done and getting stained. Probably one more week of staining and painting, then finish electrical, floor, and plumbing can start. Woot!
