Last night we had some tremendous storms which, when combined with the crappy job that our contractor’s employee did resetting our outside door, contributed to a huge leak problem in the basement… right against our newly-finished floor. Fortunately we were home at the time, and took the time to check …
I’m keeping images and other large files on an external server for now, while my blog will be carried at my home systems. This may mean occasional interruptions courtesy of my provider, but prevents me from having to transfer the whole thing to another service. I’ve gotten very accustomed to …
