3-30-09 Week in Review

I worked last week and we continued to clear stuff up around the house. I can't really remember all that we did...hang pictures, unpack a few boxes etc.. I took Friday off any my Dad came over to help work on wiring projects. First up was the hot tub. We got that running and it was good. Next up was some outlets in the garage. They are fine except that my air compressor keeps tripping the 20A circuit. Crappy circuit? Crappy wiring? Who knows, I never had that issue before and I ran two 500W halogen bulbs on the same circuit. Finished Friday off with wiring the rear surround speakers followed promptly by movie night.

Saturday we tore into putting outlets in the drum room...easy enough and that completed all that I hoped to get done. So we tackled the garage door opener...that's when things started to go downhill. Moving the old opener over to the extra garage was easy enough...as was installing the new opener. Problem was (is)....the clickers only work within like 6 feet of the opener. I guess if my garage was only like 3 feet big with no door it wouldn't be an issue (although there would be lots of other issues) but it's not so big problem. 2 hours on the phone with Chamberlain just got a new circuit board coming my way. An exchange (of a 10 foot long fully assembled opener) at Menard's didn't fix it either (although they did have a huge sale so $$).

Sunday I got the drum room/studio/rehearsal space all assembled. Check it out!
