House Updates

July 22nd, 2008 by andrew

Looks like we now have all the brick done, lights on the inside and outside, electricity, and even some of the flooring in. Of course, along with all of this, we have locked doors which is making it less fun to go and look every other day. Nonetheless, Rayna and I are both really excited and cannot wait to move to our new house.

For all the nerds reading, we ran 2-3 CAT5 lines to almost every room and wired the family room for surround sound. The TV will be mounted to the wall and may be accompanied by an AppleTV or something similar since the Xbox needs to be retired. Eventually, as budget permits, we’d like to have several lights, alarms, and other devices hooked up to a ZWave system, making them fully remote-controllable.

One last geeky statement: I wrote this post using the new WordPress iPhone app.

    God, it’s so true about retiring the XBox.

    We were upset when they started locking the door – it’s much harder to get in and sabotage things.

    Hey Andrew! Long time no talk brother… got the website from Dan/Lori. Of course… CAT5 is so yesterday… you should broadcasting your own signal from a self-built microwave in the basement that has the capability of controlling minds and taking over the U.S. Defense System. ;)

    Later!
