This is why I never have a plan to begin with. Just start the project and see where it goes. I don't want to texture and paint my living room wall (from lighting and speaker installation) and just have to rework it down the line. So in a few years when I'm ready to spend the money and do the work, I'll tear out the fireplace surround, tile the wall and add built-in cabinets on the side. Or maybe I'll do something else :tup:

I plan to do it once and done.

You probably don't have the luxury of leaving parts of the house under partial construction for years at a time ;)

I set up the cleaning crap on the work bench. One step closer to actually doing the work. :icon17:

In lieu of waxing the Lexus, I cleaned out the china cabinet and boxed everything up for storage. Will be a nice chunk of space recovered. Also, took down the mirror in the formal living room and put up my COTA flag :D

Ordered case of oil and a filter.

Very nice. I want to remodel the basement in the worst way but I know It'll never be done before July so I better not start yet. :rofl2:

Next step is to clear out the buffet. The silver and crystal are going into storage. I'm going to use the buffet for additional misc kitchen storage. Also need to put away the extra leaves on the dining table (don't really need seating for 12 right now).

That should really open up the space for more car part storage! :rofl2:

Was finally productive yesterday. Installed a 3 node mesh Wifi. A little overkill for a >700 sqft apartment...but it works great.
Almost finished one side of my vert. top fix. Just have to bolt down a strap behind the rear finisher. The other side is 1/4 the way done, so I SHOULD be done with this stupid project today. Between the P1606 and this current project, Ive been keeping the milage down on the Z...lol

I do one project at a time. Hate having a bunch of stuff undone. Then it will never get finished.

I love my 3 node google mesh setup. It is blazing fast all the way out in the detached garage ~95 ft away from the house. One router in basement, attached garage and then detached garage. Works great.

I was looking at boats on craigslist yesterday. Mentioned to the gf that I want a boat. Her response: Sure... only after you finish your car, clean out the garage, change the stuff on my car like you said (motor mounts, trans mount, brakes), and finish putting up the shelves, then you can get one....only if you can find a place to store it...

I guess no boat for me.. :wtf2:

Sounds to me like you just don't know how to procrastinate properly :icon17:

Hmm... I never thought about putting a node in the garage. Its about 75ft away. I think Ill try this today, so I can stay on top of my emails while I finsih my Z.

How configurable is the google mesh? I got the Linksys Velos, its EXTREMELY basic. I get about 95-100% of my subscibed speed... Really surprised because Im in a saturated area.
