Hi everyone! This is a little different for the blog, but I started to type it up for social media and realized that it was going to run long, and I wanted to include links and inline images. First things first, spoiler alert. If you haven’t watched The Expanse seasons … Continue reading
A lot of time has passed since my room equalization post in August 2016, and the stereo is now in a different room. Looking back, I think that one of the biggest problems that I had in my attempt at equalization was that I was aiming for the wrong target … Continue reading
Finally, something really worked out! The last expensive move-in project with a strict timeline that we had hanging over us was the sewer lateral.
