Snowmageddon
Just a few pics here to show the immensity of 'Snowmageddon' this past week. I was off work all week (okay, I could have gone in Friday, but there was already a late arrival and unscheduled leave policy in place- and I already had today off as an AWS day anyway and had plans- Oh, and we have President's day off too [start government worker jokes here]).
Geena's height compared to the walls of snow (she's on the sidewalk to our front door).
The 'Man Machine' and the snowblower:) My neighbor let me borrow his- saved me a whole day of shoveling and a lot of Ibuprofen.
Geena likes icicles:)

So simple, a caveman can do it?
The DC Roberts' haven't posted in a while- which means me. So, I will post at least two articles to show you what we've been up to.
First, we decided for MLK weekend we would get our 46" LED TV mounted on the wall. Should be simple- screw a few things in the TV, screw a few things in the wall, hang TV. We've had the bracket and TV since late Sept., at least we're finally getting around to it. Well, that wasn't all that had to get screwed.
The bracket was made to modern building code, 16" between studs. Our 1954 Rambler wasn't, 24" b/w studs. So, I opted for the most difficult and dumbest solution, install a new stud (I already had one anyway from the basement demolition project). Here are the before, during and after shots. I still need to mud up the back wall, but we'll eventually 'get around to it'- hopefully before guests arrive.

Spotted: Short-haired Snaggletoothicus
Here is the evidence presently available to confirm the sighting:
(It was a little funny seeing a mass of Timnah's curls in an envelope labelled, "Baby's First Haircut.")
