There's a hole in my sunroom where a hot tub used to be

See the previous entry for the remains of the hot tub. Here is where it used to reside:
Sue's uncle came down for a few days helped in removing the hot tub, and in installing the new joints and subfloor. (And on a side note, I did get to test hauling 4x8 sheets in the new minivan, and it worked well.)

The most tedious part of the whole process was removing the partial tiles from around the hole. When it gets warmer, we're going to install tile.

Hot tub for sale - cheap!

Some assembly required.

Minivan

As part of the preparations for the baby, we bought a minivan on Saturday. It's a used 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. Sadly, we traded in the truck - it was a good truck and I had bought it with the intention of keeping it for a long time. However, the minivan should be a capable replacment vehicle for hauling stuff. All the back seats fold into the floor, and it can hold 4'x8' sheets.

So now we have a video camera and a minivan. I think we're pretty much set for the baby to arrive.

High Tech Mergers

Inspired after reading about Scranimals, I pondered the possibilities of various technology and internet companies merging. Potential corporate names:

• Googazon
• Microogle (or Goosoft)
• Amabay
• Amabaysoft (3 way merger)
• Microzon
