Home Improvements

The broadband connection was down for most of the weekend, which explains the light posting. But a cable modem replacement and a technical visit from Cox Communications later (the dowlink from the cable tap to the house had melted over time), things are once again smooth sailing.

Also, I had to prep the place for the hot summer months. I sprayed the perimeter of the residence for bugs, cleaned the patio, performed some minor plumbing fixes, and fixed the entry door. Although I still have to finish cleaning up before guests descend upon the house tomorrow afternoon, the place looks a whole lot better.

Today, I went and invested in an electric BBQ grill (due to HOA rules, I can’t have gas or charcoal grills on my patio, and grilling outside in the common area is definitely out of the question), and I’ll be assembling it and breaking it in tomorrow. I was wondering if anybody might have had any positive experiences with electric grilling and can share some pointers. Otherwise, I’ll just see how the diners react tomorrow.
