Post #300

In yesterday's PS, I implied that today was a big day for ProPil, and it really is. If you add up the numbers in the archive at right, you'll see... this is Post #300!


Check this out: Date Duration Calendar. If you want to find out how long precisely you've been married, or at your current job, or since you graduated from high school, or... how long you've been living in the Ocean State, you can use that nifty site.
From and including: Friday, June 13, 2008
To, but not including : Wednesday, September 30, 2009

It is 474 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date, or 1 year, 3 months, 17 days excluding the end date.

Alternative time units:
474 days can be converted to one of these units:
40,953,600 seconds
682,560 minutes
11,376 hours
67 weeks (rounded down)
So... yay! And since we haven't done this in a while, let's check in with our handy list of improvement projects:
  1. Paint upstairs interior
  2. Install front screen/glass door
  3. Fix dining room table
  4. Install light on side of house (contract)
  5. Grade land around house
  6. Install backyard fencing
  7. Replace front stoop (contract)
  8. Install porch door and stairs to backyard
  9. Paint exterior (contract)
  10. Remove doorbell switches and chime
  11. Plant creeping bushes in the backest part of the backyard
  12. Install attic pulldown
  13. Install additional storage space/flooring in attic
  14. Ceiling patching
  15. Redo/finish basement
  16. Redo kitchen
  17. Refinish/repair wood floors (contract)
  18. Repair master bedroom closet floor
  19. Repair gutters (contract)
  20. Install flashing on porch roof (contract)
  21. Replace upstairs bathroom fan (contract)
  22. Clean/paint radiators
  23. Redo porch floor
  24. Install side glass/screen door
  25. Replace upstairs bathroom sink
Remember that Green = Progress, and the last time we did this was June 12th, on our Ocean State Anniversary.

For #6, we still have to fix the gate post to the garage with some masonry screws and hang the gate. On #13, we got lights and an outlet installed in the attic, in preparation for doing some sawing, hammering and drilling up there. To finish #14, I just have to put another coat or two of ceiling paint mixed with styrofoam-type stuff (that project got lost in the shuffle, so maybe I'll show it tomorrow). On #15, the basement, I'm taking a little break, but I'll begin again in earnest in mid-October. The rest will get tackled, we suppose, in due time.

Thanks for your continued support!

PS
I have been trying to keep up with recent comments. Relatedly, if you're interested, Monday's post about the dragonboat races earned ProPil an advertising comment from one of the slaves (one of Rhode Island's famed Hashers). Their site is a little baudy and implicitly profane, so if you choose to check it out, consider yourself warned.
