The House

[samuelpearce]

The bungalow that I've moved into was built sometime around 1919, and it shows. It was also hard-used in its earlier life and there are a lot of things about it that I'd really like to update and change. Now, clearly there are several limiting factors: time, money, available skill just to name a few. But that doesn't mean that I can't dream

Stephan helped Marie with some re-wiring; he may have some tips to offer on running lines. At least he didn't catch anything on fire when he was there... heh. Master Aiden and Hely are great fans of the arts and crafts style and may have some advice on decor to offer :) The husband subscribes to a woodworker's magazine that periodically has articles in it on arts and crafts cabinetry and the like; I'll keep my eyes out for good articles for you to daydream with :)

Setting up a DSL modem and software? Dude... talk about falling off a baby log; those tend to be super easy to do (as in general they are made for the average consumer, not the computer geek ;)) you're offering too much for the amount of work required ;)

FYI garbage disposals are fairly easy to install - Calum put mine in and it only took a couple hours. I'm sure if you asked he'd do yours too :-) Mine cost about $100 at Home Depot.

P.S. I'm increadibly fond of the Arts & Crafts look - so I've got lots of home improvement books with pretty Arts & Crafts style pictures if you wanna borrow 'em :-)

I can probably offer some help with painting and heaving stuff around.
