A black and grey bathroom fails when the black goes on the big surfaces. Keep the large areas grey, put black on the faucet, mirror frame and trim, and use one black finish throughout. Mixing matte black with oil rubbed bronze is what reads accidental.

Home Improvement season three DVD I bought at Goodwill
#HomeImprovement #DVD #DVDCollector #GoodwillFinds #90s -
I'm between clients at the moment, for the first time in the 11 years I've been consulting. Well, technically a contract with a new client was signed before I left the previous one, I just very explicitly needed a little time off to reset.
It's just one week, and I've been keeping busy. Early hours have been spent digging into the finer details of designing and building a self hosted CI/CD solution based on #WoodpeckerCI, #Forgejo and #Harbor running on #Kubernetes.
Evenings are spent on the couch, watching reruns of #Farscape or #DeathInParadise.
I between? Well, we bought a house from the late #60s and decided to make a new bathroom on the second floor. We're getting the pros to pour a new heated concrete floor, but I'm doing a lot of the other stuff. Right now, that means rebuilding the ceiling and fixing electricity. It's a super messy, sweaty and itchy job, but very fulfilling.
I'm calling this my #metalhygiene week.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) — Operating Principle
A recuperator (heat recovery unit) transfers heat from exhaust air to incoming fresh air without mixing the two streams.
---
How It Works
Two airflows:
Exhaust air (warm, from indoors)
Supply air (cold, from outside)
They pass through a heat exchanger:
separated by plates or channels
no direct mixing
heat transfers through the material (conduction)
Result: → supply air is preheated
→ exhaust air is cooled
→ overall heat loss is reduced---
Types of Recuperators
1. Plate Heat Exchanger
aluminum or plastic plates
efficiency: ~60–90%
no moving parts
2. Rotary (Wheel) Heat Exchanger
rotating drum
transfers heat and some moisture
efficiency: up to ~85–90%
3. Counterflow Heat Exchanger
air streams move in opposite directions
highest efficiency: up to ~95%
---
What Is Transferred
heat (primary)
sometimes moisture (in enthalpy units)
---
Efficiency Example
outside: 0°C
indoor: +22°C
after recovery: ~16–20°C
---
Advantages
reduced heating energy demand
continuous ventilation without major heat loss
improved indoor air quality
---
Limitations
frost formation in winter (needs bypass or preheater)
filter maintenance required
upfront cost
---
Core Idea
A recuperator doesn’t generate heat — it recovers and reuses it.

The best DIY trellis isn't the prettiest one, it's the one matched to your plant's growth habit. A copper pipe grid works brilliantly for jasmine and fails for grapes. A cedar lattice holds star jasmine beautifully but drowns a young sweet pea. Pick the frame for year two, not week one.

Nothing to Say
I’m down to the final minutes of my lunch break on this fine Friday afternoon. I am pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep over the past… month(s) but I’m hanging in there. I had some Purdue Popcorn chicken and some peanuts and some sugar free Hershey bites for lunch. I really want a drink of water but I still have to wait the better part of an hour before I am clear to drink anything. That’s a gastric bypass patient thing. If you know, you know.
Fed Ex delivered a package today. I am not home to get it, but it contains a new guitar pedal. If I read the amazon shipping notes correctly, it’s a compressor pedal. The first I’ve ever purchased. I have this weird idea of using cleaner guitar sounds for this year’s RPM Challenge in February and a compressor will be a part of that. I bought an MXR Dyna Comp because it’s super simple and it will let me squash my clean signal down to a delightfully mushy… mush. There are two more pedals coming over the weekend. One is a Flanger, the other is an Amp Sim. I don’t have room on my pedal board for any of these kiddos and I don’t have open slots on my power brick… so I am going to need to get creative, I think. It should be fun. I don’t think I bought a single guitar pedal during all of 2024. I know I bought a couple of microphones for band practices that haven’t actually happened yet, but no pedals.
There are a lot of tentative plans for the weekend. We may be messing with our living room and we may be going to some stores for research purposes. I hope to spend some time wandering around town taking pictures with my new/possibly antique (though probably not) camera. I got a gift card for the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH for xmas. I haven’t bought anything from them in about a month, but now I am definitely going back and getting some cookies. Good stuff.
What else… I thought there was something else… One of our cars is going to get a break job. That wasn’t the thing that I am forgetting though… am I going to go shopping for a new iPhone? That’s definitely on the to-do list before we go to Florida at the end of the month, but is it this weekend? I don’t know.
I have to start practicing the guitar. The band is hoping to reconvene (hopefully for real this time) at some point after this weekend. I need to get ready for that. Which guitar should I bring to the first practice? Probably the Les Paul Standard that my wife got me for my 50th birthday in 2021. I really dig that guitar.
I know I had something else I wanted to write about but it has slipped my brain entirely. Don’t get old, kids. This is what happens to you when you get old. Stay young for as long as you can. Unless you’re already old like me in which case… sorry, folks. We had a good run, I’m sure.

"𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍" - Brand new art from the Blue Ridge Mountains! https://buff.ly/40zx5sz

The IKEA kitchen deliveries are happening on Monday and Tuesday. A few boxes on Monday and almost 200 on Tuesday. The plumber is coming to disconnect everything on Monday. Demolition of the current kitchen is Friday and installation of the new kitchen is Saturday. They are telling us they only need one day to install but that seems crazy to me. The plumbing hookups, electrical work, and the addition of the backsplash all happen at some point after the install. When? We don’t know yet.
Both of my step kids are going on trips over spring break. They are coming home the week after the kitchen install. I have to take a day off to drive them both to the airport. We have Harry’s flight information already but not Bellana’s. Not yet at least. The following week we’ll pick them back up at the airport but as of now it doesn’t look like I’ll need to take time off from work for that.
I also have five days to finish the RPM Challenge. I have three songs finished, six ready to mix, six ready for lead guitars, and five waiting for vocals. Two of those five have lyrics and a melody written. I did those earlier today. I am hoping to get to the other three before I sleep tonight so I can get them all recorded tomorrow morning. If I can’t get through it all tomorrow I’ll have to finish up before work on Monday. Then I just have a ton of lead guitars to record and multiple tons of mixing to do. I can get to it all, but it’s going to be tough. I have some late nights and early mornings in my near future.
There are so many things to do in the coming weeks. So very, very many things. It’s going to be pretty crazy around these parts. I’ll post lots of pictures as things progress.

Right before leaving for our vacation, I tried to run a load of dishes, but the dishwasher errored out. Since there wasn’t time to fix it before we left, I just left myself a note to fix it when I got back. The filter isn’t super accessible, so I used a waterpik to spray the sediment out. The joys of an old house.

From what I understand, they also do power washing and hang Christmas lights. Feel free to support a local small business.

I am so happy to finally have my shudders put back on the house. We took them down a season or two ago to paint them but couldn't put them back on. Instead of risking my life to put them back, I called in an expert.
