Must Be Art Weblog

Now that the living room is back in shape, the old dictionary stand was looking pretty ratty, with its peeling contact paper. I decided to strip it down and repaint it to match the column.

I am debugging again. Why can’t things just work?

I now have a weather station installed on Palomar Mountain, so you no longer need to squint at the fuzzy dial thermometer on the webcam image. The webcam reports to Weather Underground as a personal weather station, and they keep track of history and provide graphs. They also provide the weather badge seen here and on the webcam page.

… arrgh, I spoke too soon. The weather station only worked for a couple of hours before flaking out, and I seem to be unable to repair it by remote control. This may have to stay broken until after the holidays.

The final color coat of stucco is finally going on the house today.

See a few more images.

Over the last few days, the house has been sandblasted and fumigated for termites, and the first of the new windows installed.

Yesterday Chad came and measured the windows. Found termites.

Today I stripped all the antennas off the back porch and removed all
the antenna feedlines to prepare for sandblasting and porch demolition.
Anybody care to place a bet as to when (or if) I get all those antennas
back up?
