Hey Aniki!

Nobody else look at this post it contains sensitive information. Ha Ha.

Guess who's Church van that is. While looking at google maps I saw the blue street view in front of the house. I just happen to be looking at what construction was going on western and.

Oh and yes there is this house 12 something something chuck street. With a dead lawn that is on their too.

DTV 2009, Can't Wait

Okay

Digital TV is more than I thought it would be. Or at least as much of what they had to say about it I was listening to. Um, I mean there is no way that this part would be left out. I just didn't pick up on it or something.

Digital TV is, one channel, many sub channels. So basically broadcast will compete with cable again. And if you just want local TV you don't need cable, or should I say pay TV, at all. And with that vchip crap built in I expect DTV could get really good.

It's not like I will miss things on pay TV. Movies I can still rent or buy plus TV shows can too picked the same way. Daily Show and Countdown are online. And spend most of my entertainment viewing on the internet anyway.

Now that I've got a box for my 13" mono set. I can't wait for '09 I want them to get on the adding of content/channels now. From my roof top on a clear day you can see the Sears Tower and the antennas of the John Hancock.

What we got here:

So any way. Without a powered or outdoor antenna I can't get CBS. The program guide when it is there, is off by a few hours due to the time change.

Oh and, HD just means wide screen.

Down spouts

I need a non drain tile solution. But I have no fence and terrible neighbors. Any ideas on getting water away from the foundation that can hold up to potential foot traffic?




All 4 down spouts essentially point down and the water goes into basement.


This drain extender pour water out the bottom badly.

Cross bracing


Is the reason the floors are so bouncy because there is no cross bracing? And where there is its not always connected up. And under the kitchen dinning area there is none. I think it has to do with the pipes. Its to the southwest side of the house where the furnace, water heater, and the breaker box are.

I heard somewhere it was supposed to be every 4 feet. Any ideas on what I should do?
