A step down...

Or even two... I guess we're finally taking a step down on the WT scale. First we're replacing our old washer/dryer that had a piercing squeeking for several months. And it recently switched to grinding of gears (or something) that sounded like a popcorn machine. Second, while the old one was out of the way, I took the opportunity to play in the rafters. I pulled out the black coax cable hanging out of the ceiling in our bedroom--it was for our modem--, and replaced it with a white one in the corner that is much, much less conspicuous. Merry Christmas, Heather!

You may be wondering, why would they have a cable hanging out of the ceiling? We were going to run it through the wall, but the battery ran out on my drill while we were up there setting it up, so couldn't get it into the wall. It turns out there is a fire break--not sure if that's the proper term--about half way up the wall, so we couldn't have run it through there anyway. Anyhow, it looks much better now.
