Well over 100,000 people are dead and as many as 5 million people are without medical attention, shelter, food, and potable water, in the aftermath of the earthquake and resultant tsunami in South Asia.

Whew! We are back home and have lots of new stuff from Grandma Evelyn and Grandpa Earl and Aunt Bev! Including a brand new Char-Broil Big Easy Gas Grill!!! It has a 30,000 BTU output, a cast iron griddle and 764 sq inches of cooking surface. It even has places to hold the cooking utensils [...]
Yes, our new water heater is super duper! And we found out that we have “low water volume” not “low water pressure” - big difference! We are going to get a bid to find out how much to repipe the main water pipe and repipe under the house with copper pipes. Unfortunately, to repipe the [...]
Our old leaky water heater is gone, our new shiny water heater is installed and running, and our kitchen sink water pressure is great, all thanks to our new friend Devon from Aurora Plumbing.

A couple days ago we three trekked down to the Renton/Kent border to visit Ikea. As always we spent more than we intended, but we scored some cool stuff. The coolest of the cool stuff is a new desk, Part One of our mission to move the Zster into her own room.
The plan is [...]
