Garage Door Opener Revisited Part Two

I am so excited! We finally caught up with our finances and "Murphy's" and were able to purchase a new garage door opener with cash! We saved about $200 by having my son and husband install it. They took their time and did an excellent job! I think it was a great experience for both of them and I think my son learned a lot!
It seems like such a small thing to be excited about something as mundane as a garage opener, but maybe it's the little things in life that keep me going!

Busy, Busy, Busy .... wait ...

The beauty of having your own business is being able to pick and choose what you want to do. Unfortunately, though, most of the time the jobs you want come in at the same time!
I have several jobs that are just getting started. I am in limbo until the clients come back to me with the materials I need to complete their projects. Hurry up and wait...
Right now I could use a time out from my office and computer, but I am intent on sitting here and waiting for my inbox to "come alive"!

Garage Door Opener Revisited

The technician said it wasn't the door opener that needed to be replaced, it was the spring. Replacing the spring cost more than having a new door opener with installation.
So, after replacing the spring, guess what? The door still does not work properly. Back to the drawing board after our finances catch up with the last home improvement budget buster.

Attack of the Garage Door Opener

*Sigh*

After living in our house for almost 10 years our third garage door opener will be installed tomorrow. It seems like our openers have only worked for about 95% of the time we have lived in this house. I feel like there is some kind of poltergeist ghost responsible for causing all our mayhem.

Mind you, we live on a very steep hill. Our driveway is vertical and that's not an understatement. The skate board kids in the neighborhood call it the "professional" hill. It is not an option to park anywhere else but the garage. My minivans' emergency brake can't handle the incline and the very narrow street is too tight. It's also against our association to park on the street anyway.

Anyway, I am hopeful the installer will cast away all the problems we've had in the past with our openers. If not, at least I can call the technician to come back....

Hit Refresh

This is so refreshing! I have moved my office upstairs to the guest suite and it's sweet!

It feels great to clean out files and start over again.

New place, new projects, new perspective! Just like hitting the refresh button on the computer, I have hit refresh on my office.

It's Here!

After my very long wait, my baby is here! I have so much to do with transferring files, loading software and bookmarking the new browser. Also, the RAM I ordered online is not correct, so it will take about another week to send the wrong RAM back and get the new installed. Oh well, I'm happy with the way things are and it will be interesting to see how much faster the computer will be with 2 more Gigs of RAM. 

Pins and Needles.... !

FedEx finally updated their tracking site and my new baby is finally in Charlotte! Time will tell if it actually gets delivered tomorrow. Torture!
