Rapid City – Page 11

Kitchen Remodel

A blog is an odd place to keep track of this sort thing, but it needs to be written down somewhere and I can share this for feedback. Here’s what we’re starting with: That is more-or-less to scale with one big diagrams.net (formerly known as drawio) grid squares being a square foot and the resolutionContinue reading “Kitchen Remodel”

Gas, Electricity, and Groundhogs

A guy from the gas company came over today to turn on the meters. I’m not sure what that means, exactly, since the hot water is hot and presumably the people renting over the winter had working furnaces, but it is now in our name. Meta-Update: Mike’s name. I handled the bills in Denver forContinue reading “Gas, Electricity, and Groundhogs”

Grandma’s Bowls – Back in Rapid City

Seems as good a place to post the update as any other… Grandma’s Bowls are back in Rapid City – along with us, of course. The two that have seedlings in them in the picture at the linked post had full grown, harvestable dill and parsley in them before we left Denver. However, I hadContinue reading “Grandma’s Bowls – Back in Rapid City”

The chafing dishes were not surprising – but do I want to keep them? Do I really need three chafing dishes? Granted, theyContinue reading “Getting Ready 2 Move -3”

Getting Ready 2 Move – 2

The goal was not accomplished. The leak in zone 5 is very obvious, but I have no idea how to get the problem piece out – it’s 3 inches of hose between two plastic pipes, but it is crimped on. I must destroy the crimps, but I don’t really have a suitable tool. I’ll giveContinue reading “Getting Ready 2 Move – 2”

Getting Ready 2 Move – 1

I doubt (very, very much) that anyone cares, but posting about it gives me an incentive to do something every day. Today’s completed task: Get boxes. We bought the U-Haul 4+ bedroom master Pak moving kit. It’s expensive, but it’s a lot of stuff and one can return what is not used. Tomorrow’s goals: FixContinue reading “Getting Ready 2 Move – 1”
