Speaking of photos, the deck page has been mildly updated with the latest pics and addendums. More torrential rains this weekend and Monday, so I appreciated their hurry to get the roof on last week.
We went to the hardware chains to pick out a ceiling fan for the builders to install. Although years of going to the Lowe's Depot for this old house has taught me to consider all eventualities before you make your trip, we still screwed it up. Still somehow managed, amid our focus on other variables, to get a fan that wouldn't work with the angled ceiling of our room.
So back out into the rain I went. At this point, as long as the thing rotates quietly ...
As you may have noticed, the site has changed. Sampa, the free-site host, did a version 2 of some sort.
Despite an FAQ that made it sound like allowing one's site to go through v.2 surgery would be okay, there were several flexibilities that surprisingly disappeared with the click of a button. (e.g. I cannot believe sidebars like this one are even narrower than before.)
And I'm told -- miraculously! -- that the conversion cannot be undone. Truth be told, I'm actually quite pissed. But free is free. Sampa has otherwise been good to me.
So I need to sort through site "features" to see how I can make do. Except that I don't have the time at the moment, in the middle of graduate classes and Lighthousehockey.com. (btw, I've removed that Lighthouse RSS feed so that you're not clogged with random Islanders hockey gibberish).
But I promise to touch up the accessories when I get a chance, and return to irregularly scheduled blogging.
