The replacement 42″ LCD TV arrived yesterday afternoon about 3:00pm. All in all I am very happy with how things turned out. THe total time cycle from failure to resolution was quite a bit longer than what I would have liked but…
The new TV has a ATSC tuner and 4 HDMI inputs… so in many regards has more features.
I watched a couple of short shows last night in HD and was very pleased with the picture.
The Basement office is now nearly complete! The carpet was installed this morning. What now remains are re-installing the closet doors and installing the closet wire racking. Of course adding back in the furniture is high on the list as well.
Basement Office - carpet installed!
Basement Office - Concrete Leveled
Last weekend I leveled a slope to the concrete in the corner of the Office. The slope was initially placed into the floor to slope it down to the sump pump opening. Since I boxed around the sump opening pretty tightly there was a section that was still reveled the slope down to the sump opening.
I used a product from Mapei designed to level concrete floors prior to putting down ceramic tile.
I am happy with the results… I now have the carpet for the room on order and with a little luck it will be installed next week.
My 2003 Jetta was repaired this week. I bought the car on December 1st 2007 and bumped into a car ahead of me exactly 1 week later. The first incident cracked the center grill assembly to the point that the VW emblem fell out. Then early in the morning on February 14th, I slid on ice while coming to a stop at a stop sign and nailed the pickup truck ahead. Little damage to the pickup… pretty good damage to the Jetta. So this past Wednesday the Jetta went into the body shop and received a new hood, new center grill assembly and the front bumper cover was repaired.
Thanks Uncle Wayne the car looks great!
Finally after just over a full month of nagging the Service Contract company, I finally received an offer for a replacement TV. I am told within 7-10 days I should have a new 42″ Toshiba LCD TV to replace the dead Westinghouse 42″ LCD TV.
We’ll have to see if it is really 7-10 days!
