Halfway through with the bedroom

There’s nothing like hearing that you’re going to have company in two days to make you hurry up and finish something.

Some of Yaenette’s family decided to make the trip down from NYC, so out goes the octagon we were trying to work out how to do. We’ll just have to settle for plain floors. So off to the equipment rental place I went to pick up the nailers and in the space of 4 hours we went from a bare room with a few boards racked up

Hardwood flooring racked up and ready for nailing in the main bedroom

to half-way finished.

I figure I should be able to get the rest of it finished tomorrow night or Saturday morning. That leaves us a few hours to take the nailers back, move everything back into the bedroom and clean the place up to make it presentable before the horde descends.

I’m not sure I’d want to store things in one of these

Saw this GoogleAd on a website I visit regularly. I’m not sure I’d want to buy something flammable to store things that are likely to catch fire and/or explode. I’d prefer those cabinets to not catch fire thank you very much.

You forgot your message

Either there are a lot of people at work forgetting to type in the body of their email or there’s some worm/virus spreading through the hospital. All day I’ve been getting blank email messages from people in the hospital. I suppose there could be some glitch with the mail server that’s sending message bodies into the bit bucket.
I think I’ll go make sure my anti-virus software is updated, just in case.

Intuition test

Not exactly the way I think of myself. I would put myself more to the upper left, but then again the questions are pretty subjective, and you’re likely to get different answers each time you take the quiz.

More Scientific

You have:
62% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and
47% EMOTIONAL INTUITION

The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored about average on emotional intuition and above average on scientific intuition.Keep in mind that very few people score high on both! In effect, you can compare your two intuition scores with each other to learn what kind of intuition you’re best at. Your scientific intuition is stronger than your emotional intuition.
Intuition test results
Your Emotional Intuition score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you’re good at Quake.

Your Scientific Intuition score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the sciences.
My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Scientific
You scored higher than 99% on Interpersonal

Flooring Project: Phase 2

Our living room has turned into our bedroom now as phase 2 of the flooring project begins. Got everything moved out of the room last night, and today the rug and tack strips will come up and down goes the roofing felt.

Then the next step will be to figure out just how we’re going to mirror the octagonal tray ceiling on the floor. The wife and I both have different ideas about how to do it. Her plan seems pretty intricate and involved to me, and pretty far above my rudimentary skills with power tools. My plan is simpler, but still above my rudimentary skills.

It will probably require more tools too. Go figure.
