It has taken me about eight hours to move stuff away from the walls in preparation for wallpaper removal and for painting next week. Two hours the first night to do the front half of the room, and another six to do the second half. The second half took a lot longer because I had to move two bookshelves, and my desk, all of which have been sitting in the same place for more than a decade. As a result of moving things around, I have thrown out several hundred pounds of stuff, and have created a real mess.
The up side is that the living room already looks a LOT better without the sleeping bag wallpaper, even if it is rather bland at the moment.
I also promised a picture of the wiring behind my home theater equipment, so here you go:
Free Stuff?
One casualty of moving everything around is my desk. It just didn’t want to be moved (it’s about 300 pounds), and when Brent and I finally got it to move it decided to crack in half. It’s barely holding together at the moment, but it isn’t going to be usable again. So I guess I’m forced to retire the old office area now.
So I’m getting rid of some old stuff that I won’t need any longer with the old office gone. To start with, the computer monitors need to go. So I’m giving away a 19”, two 17”, and one 15” CRT computer monitor. They all work great, I just won’t need them any longer. If you need a monitor, they’re available for the taking; just stop by and pick one up. (Shipping probably won’t be an option; it costs $75 and up to ship a monitor these days.)
Specs: 19” will handle 1600x1200 at 75 Hz, 17”s will do 1152x864 at 75 Hz (or 1280x1024 at 60 Hz), and the 15” will do 1024x768.
I also have a professional quality Epson inkjet printer that I’m giving away. It needs new ink cartridges (which will run about $100) and a good cleaning. It has seen very little use and probably has only been used to print a couple hundred pages total. It is one of those models that can print on CDs. I just don’t use it, and won’t have a place for it.
More free stuff will follow once I’ve had a chance to triage the remaining pile of stuff. I’ll start by posting info on my blog for my faithful followers, and anything left after a few days will go up on facebook, then ksl.com.
