Continuing adventures in home repair and maintenance.

A few things I have learned in the past month or so in the new house. When it was built, coax was run to many of the rooms and threaded through an empty utility box in the wall with a blank faceplate over it. All of this coax appears to be home run to the southwest corner of the house. More fun and games with a tone generator and detector wand. It seems that the previous owner, rather than using the existing coax, simply had new run everywhere from the dish on the roof. Chasing all of that down has been interesting, since the attic space is loaded with blown in insulation that has some kind of slippery fire retardant on it. The vaulted ceiling over the family room is a space I got into, and slipped on the insulation. Knee went through the ceiling over the door going to the outside, and I ran into a rafter and bruised a rib. Drywall repair and plaster texturing. What fun...NOT! The drive up to Yuba City every Saturday morning has been wearing, and then having just the afternoon and Sunday morning available to work on things is slowing things down. Coming up on the second service interval for the Subaru.
