glh's Journal: Updated House Pics

This morning was pretty busy- went out to the house and painted a satin version of the wall color in the dining room. My wife is headed out to do some "color washing". She decided on a yellowish gold tone. It looked pretty good on a cardboard sample, but we won't know for sure until it's on the wall.

I also cut out 4 holes in the ceiling for speakers and set them in place. I was definitely a little nervous as I could really screw the drywall up if I wasn't careful. Luckily the drywallers pulled my speaker wire through, and did so right on the joist. I knew exactly where to cut (about an 8" hole)...

As far as the speakers go, they are "audio source". I read some good reviews on them and they seemed to have pretty good "stats". I picked them up from J&R Computers which seemed to have the best price. I got them the day after I ordered (which was via UPS ground, so they must be near by). Haven't had a chance to test the speakers yet, but I plan on doing that tomorrow. After I ensure that they are working I will tighten them flush to the ceiling and put the grills on.

I think it is some kind of IP address update problem. I have Dyndns and my update client seems to not work as well as it used to. Try it now, it looks like it is working.
