Happy Columbus Day—or Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day, if you swing that way. My company observes the October holiday (and the fact that it is the only reasonable holiday candidate in October is probably why), so I have a day off for house chores.
Which is more exciting than it sounds, because there is nothing more depressing (in both the colloquial and literal senses) than a bunch of half finished projects around the house. So my goal today is to have a bunch of three-quarters finished projects when I’m done. To wit:
- Figure out a way to use the large-diameter hole saw whose shaft too big for all my drills, so I can…
- Drill a hole in a closet door to replace the handle hardware, for which I need to …
- Buy non-locking door hardware, which will also allow me to…
- Replace the closet door handle that stopped working entirely yesterday morning. After that, I can …
- Move the pegboard from my old shop area to the new one in the garage, for which I will need either to mount some firring strips with the big concrete anchors I have or else purchase some smaller ones. After that, I can…
- Move one of the shelf units cluttering my library into the place where the pegboard sat, and then move the other out to the garage.
But first, and most important, I need to reserve a place at the Genius Bar. This PowerBook has a bad hinge, and I need to find out if it will cost as much as I think it will to fix it.
