Sunday, February 26, 2006. Since my Handyman web page. Mentions my geek skills and I am in geek mode today, today's post is going that direction. File sizes - -. I was looking at a site I may be doing some work on and one page was a picture gallery. It took 30 seconds to download. Now I know 30 seconds doesn't seem that long, right? The top picture is 39k and the bottom one is 2200k. I just did an impartial survey and 5 year olds and 8 year olds both prefer the top picture for speed and quality. When I f...

Friday, June 23, 2006. It actually turned out to be, probably, relatively easy. I have a balloon frame house with no firestops. From my 2nd floor attic I could drop a weight on a string straight down to the ground, no holes to drill. My baseboard recepticles could be easily reached by bending the wire a bit and poking it up from the crawlspace below. I ended up with about 80 hours of labor and there is now just over 1500 feet of wire in the house. Posted by Mike Handley, Handyman @ 7:19 AM.

Tuesday, January 31, 2006. I am going to get a few articles behind me before I let anyone know about this blog. I was doing a little research on plastering so I could sound like I knew what I was talking about. I found a site that tells you almost everything that you ever wanted to know about plaster repair. It's actually a National Park Service site. I didn't explore more of it but I will soon. http:/ www.cr.nps.gov/hps/tps/briefs/brief21.htm#Common%20Plaster%20Problems.
