So Jay the Contractor made new doors for one out of four attic access doors, and even that one is a little broken. The painters had painted it shut and getting it off cracked part of the frame. The door wouldn’t stay on the wall and Jay suggested magnetic latches, which I bought last week but never did install until today. The door stays on, but it also is kind of warped.

I found out yesterday that the painters also seemed to get some schmutz on my HDTV screen. My buddy Greg suggested I try getting it off with some alcohol. Denatured alcohol has methanol in it and I’m not exactly sure if methanol is good for plastics, so instead I bought some Everclear. Fortunately it worked to get the schmutz off.

Really, that’s about all I did today. I did get honked at and yelled at by a guy for talking on my cell phone while driving. I was on a city street, keeping up with traffic, and as far as I know it won’t be illegal to talk on the cell phone while driving until January 1st 2010 in Oregon. My bluetooth headset was acting up so I couldn’t use it. The yelling dude was weaving in and out of traffic and even ran a red light, which I figure is a little bit more illegal than talking on the phone. Whatever.
