8/15/2014 - Visitors from Florida, paint the bathroom.
The garage door installer came back today to correct the cable problem. We decided to unwind the GIANT springs and reset the coupler between to two sides. Once the door was resting on the floor without spring tension, they loosened the center coupler, adjusted the tension on the cables, retightened the coupler, re-wound the springs and all was well. The cables still rub the sides of the panels a little until they unwind enough to widen to the width of the door, but it should take 15 or 20 years to wear them out.
Brandon and Leroy put a second coat of KILZ on the bathroom and sent me out to return the broken sink in the vanity box and get paint for the bathroom and a new vanity. I also picked up some supplies for my Mom's house including garage floor paint. I came back with a light green paint for the bathroom and gray floor paint for Mom's garage floor as well as some satin white for her garage. I asked Brandon to paint the ceiling in the bathroom white and decided that we had enough gray paint to do the bathroom floor as well. The bathroom actaully came out pretty well considering that my interior design skills SUCK. I also bought a new vanity WITH a matching mirror and cheap 3 bulb vanity light. All in all I'm pretty happy with the way the bathroom is turning out. It is certainly bigger than anything in the house.
I got a call from Mike and Francine Houser, friends of mine from the Star Chapter in Florida. They were visiting in Clayton, GA which is only a half hour or so from the house so they decided to drop by for a visit. It was great seeing them again. We chatted over a beer for a while but they had to go to catch a tee time at one of the many golf courses in the area.
