A hearty Ho Ho Ho etc. to all!

I am in limbo. The guy we contracted with last April to rebuild our flooded 
kitchen cabinets? Talked with him last week. “Materials are finally in, I’ll 
stop by sometime after Christmas to discuss…”

The guy who last March  was going to rebuild the damaged lower dresser drawers? 
I texted him, he said they would be done probably next week?

The guy who was going to arrange for an engineer to get an estimate on raising 
our rental unit a few feet so as to be above Flood Plain so that we can rebuild 
the major damage caused by the wind-toppled 100-foot white pine? Some time this 
week, maybe?

The lady who was going to arrange our secondary internet connection so that our 
niece Mary can re-establish her home office here now that she can’t live in the 
damaged rental? Still waiting for a call back.

[Back story on the rental: our niece lives there. We lived with her 8 months 
last year after our home was flooded. The pine tree blew over onto her house 
Dec 11th. She’s moved in with us. Because we are in a flood plain, special 
rules apply. The U.S. Government subsidizes the cost of flood insurance, and 
communities that agree to FEMA’s rules are given more generous discounts on the 
insurance. FEMA’s rules are designed to avoid constant rebuilding of structures 
in jeopardy, like along the coast in the traditional path of hurricanes or in 
known flood plains in the interior. Requirement is that the community will not 
provide a building permit to any upgrade or repair unless either A- the cost of 
the upgrade or repair does not exceed 50% of appraised value, or B- the 
structure is brought up to current building code. So, above the flood plain, 
with up-to-date wiring, etc. We will likely be well over 50% of appraised 
value,  and thus anticipate Option B is going to come into play. So the first 
question is, how high do we need to raise the rebuilt/replaced structure? 
Probably 3-4 feet. And meanwhile niece Mary has lost her home office. She works 
for a hospital on medical insurance issues. Usually about 90% from home. But 
because of the private sensitive nature of what she deals with, her home office 
work computer cannot be WiFi, it needs a hardwire ethernet connection. Our 
cable modem is at the other end of the house, so I am trying for a secondary 
connection in “her” new office…]

So, waiting, waiting, frustrated at having so many of these details which are 
just out of my control. I took the requisite shots of the tree down across the 
house, of the crane lifting the pieces out, the guys nailing sheets of plywood 
and tarps across the holes in the roof. But I can’t be too excited about any of 
those shots. One of my occasional outlets is cooking, but that is harder with 
Mary here. We get along well with Mary, we are comfortable with her in our 
home. But she is still dealing with damage caused by her COVID over a year ago. 
Loss of taste has now become distortion of taste, so there are a very limited 
number of food options that she can tolerate. I could still make my sausage and 
cheese breakfast casserole or my 3-meat 8-bean chili. But she wouldn’t be able 
to eat those, might not even be able to tolerate the odor if she were in the 
same room with those, and so it wouldn’t be right for me to indulge.

I am looking forward to getting some of these nuisance details out of the way! 
And I am looking forward to some travel we have booked for 2022, some trips 
just for relaxation, some trips (e.g. Iceland) for exploration and photo ops. 
And hoping that we can zig-zag our way through the COVID restrictions and 
outbreaks. While life has not been ideal for us lately, we have avoided serious 
tragedy, I know that many of you are facing similar woes, and we are all ready 
for a big party! Or something.

Meanwhile, Ho Ho Ho and serious best wishes for a healthy productive prosperous 
New Year!

Re: I won Christmas, and a PESO

2021-12-29 Thread John Sessoms
I didn't know Christmas was some kind of competition, but if it is, it 
looks like the granddaughter was the big winner this year.


Christmas was Ok around here this year. I mean I survived & I actually 
got a present from Santa ... or the VA or the post office or ... I dunno.


It was on the front porch when I went outside on Christmas day - a 
microwavable hot mitt for my hand (therapy glove).


But this was the second Christmas I spent all alone. Two years in a row 
I didn't get my Chinese buffet. I'm ready for this Covid SHIT to be over.

A bit of a back story, a way back story.
When we did our home reno in 2003, I had to dismantle my darkroom to 
make way for the addition. I never did get it set back up, and then in 
2011 we had a flood that required gutting the basement, and by then I 
had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to set up another darkroom.
I had run it as a commercial business for a few years and burned myself 
out on it.


Anyway, I discovered that I enjoyed carpentry and so when I was 
refinishing the downstairs, I turned part of it into a woodworking shop.


One needs hobbies after all.

So, jump forwards to more recent history and the discovery a few years 
ago that I had a daughter, and along for that ride was a son in law and 
granddaughter who is now 12.
So, how did I win Christmas? I make said granddaughter a chest of 
drawers for Christmas, something that she didn't have.


And here is a picture of it for the curious:

question is, how high do we need to raise the rebuilt/replaced structure? 
Probably 3-4 feet. And meanwhile niece Mary has lost her home office. She works 
for a hospital on medical insurance issues. Usually about 90% from home. But 
because of the private sensitive nature of what she deals with, her home office 
work computer cannot be WiFi, it needs a hardwire ethernet connection. Our 
cable modem is at the other end of the house, so I am trying for a secondary 
connection in “her” new office…]

So, waiting, waiting, frustrated at having so many of these details which are 
just out of my control. I took the requisite shots of the tree down across the 
house, of the crane lifting the pieces out, the guys nailing sheets of plywood 
and tarps across the holes in the roof. But I can’t be too excited about any of 
those shots. One of my occasional outlets is cooking, but that is harder with 
Mary here. We get along well with Mary, we are comfortable with her in our 
home. But she is still dealing with damage caused by her COVID over a year ago. 
Loss of taste has now become distortion of taste, so there are a very limited 
number of food options that she can tolerate. I could still make my sausage and 
cheese breakfast casserole or my 3-meat 8-bean chili. But she wouldn’t be able 
to eat those, might not even be able to tolerate the odor if she were in the 
same room with those, and so it wouldn’t be right for me to indulge.

I am looking forward to getting some of these nuisance details out of the way! 
And I am looking forward to some travel we have booked for 2022, some trips 
just for relaxation, some trips (e.g. Iceland) for exploration and photo ops. 
And hoping that we can zig-zag our way through the COVID restrictions and 
outbreaks. While life has not been ideal for us lately, we have avoided serious 
tragedy, I know that many of you are facing similar woes, and we are all ready 
for a big party! Or something.

Meanwhile, Ho Ho Ho and serious best wishes for a healthy productive prosperous 
New Year!

Nicely done! Building one drawer is one thing. Building a set which match and 
line up when installed, that is impressive.

I won Christmas, and a PESO

2021-12-29 Thread Bill

A bit of a back story, a way back story.
When we did our home reno in 2003, I had to dismantle my darkroom to 
make way for the addition. I never did get it set back up, and then in 
2011 we had a flood that required gutting the basement, and by then I 
had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to set up another darkroom.
I had run it as a commercial business for a few years and burned myself 
out on it.


Anyway, I discovered that I enjoyed carpentry and so when I was 
refinishing the downstairs, I turned part of it into a woodworking shop.


One needs hobbies after all.

So, jump forwards to more recent history and the discovery a few years 
ago that I had a daughter, and along for that ride was a son in law and 
granddaughter who is now 12.
So, how did I win Christmas? I make said granddaughter a chest of 
drawers for Christmas, something that she didn't have.


And here is a picture of it for the curious:

Technical details: Shot with a Samsung phone, using whatever goes on 
inside those things.
