We are thinking about making one of our extra bedrooms a little more livable. That way it looks nicer and we have some better furniture in there.
One of the first things we want to accomplish is getting some paint on the walls. White is boring after a long, long time. Next we would probably run down to the local discount furniture store and replace what we have in the bedroom currently with some newer furniture. Depending on what we find there, might have to build some book shelves or install some shelves on the wall. Most likely get some type of art work or painting to put on the wall.
One of these days we will eventually get around to painting all the rooms so each one will add some flavor to the house. And once we get the spare bedroom done, we will just need to have some people come over and stay the night.
Wednesday I decided to work from home part of the day and spend the other part of the day working on the house. The house really needed some work done on it. So after working for about an hour that morning I take a small break to come back and see my remote connection that died. So I was like “Oh Great”, and I go check out the dsl router and no more green lights and one flashing red one.
I thought it might be a temporary thing so I continue my day working on the house and playing a couple games. I check back after a couple of hours and still a flashy red light. So I finally decided to call AT&T and go through there level 1 no help tech support. Doing all the things I have already done, and have known about for years. I finally convince her that it wasn’t me or the equipment, but something with the line. After 45 minutes she finally gets a tech set up for the day and I was gearing up to leave work early again and come home. 15 minutes go by and I decide I better check the phone line. Yep dead too, so I call back to make sure I get a real tech out here and not just a dsl tech.
Next day [thursday] I leave work early to come home and meet the guy and shows up telling me they are running tests and will get back to me shortly. 8-10 minutes later he rings the door bell again and he proceeds to tell me that our neighbor’s plumber had cut the line and AT&T had recieved about 30 calls after mine. He advised me it might be the next morning before anything might happen. So Leslie and leave for a bit and when we get back the neighbor’s yard was all ripped up and the phone and internet was back up. Yeah!!!
I guess more people need to pay attention when doing their job to minimize other casualties.
So a few months ago we set out to make the flower bed out front something other than an eyesore. So today I figured was a good day to get it finished up. Not to mention it’s not 1000 degrees out. So I planted 2 plants (somewhat not even) **I’m not a landscaper** and filled it all in with mulch. I have to say it turned out pretty good.
Here is a shot of it completed:

In a previous post I had talked about my all morning long fence repair that myself and a neighbor did. I can say now that my back fence is pretty strong. However my neighbors fence, not so much. In fact both neighbors, the left and right one, both have there back fences leaning outward at a horrible degree. I think if they do not do something rather soon they might need a new fence installation.
If they don’t they it might look a little silly since my fence would still be standing there. Then again you never know. I will see if I can get a picture so you know what I’m talking about, stayed tuned.!
